NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Today the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) upgraded the 2016 Nissan Sentra to its highest rating of “Top Safety Pick Plus” when equipped with optional Forward Emergency Braking technology. The Sentra had previously held the agency’s Top Safety Pick designation prior to IIHS confi rmation of the required front crash prevention technology performance.For this year, IIHS has tightened its standards by requiring a “Good” or better rating in all fi ve of the crashworthiness categories to earn a “Top Safety Pick” and making an available front crash prevention system mandatory for all awards. To earn the IIHS “Top Safety Pick Plus” designation, a vehicle must earn a “Good” or better on all fi ve crashworthiness categories and also receive an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention.“Nissan is proud to have another of our core vehicles recognized by IIHS for vehicle safety,” said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA). “Nissan has the safety and security of Nissan vehicle owners and their passengers as its top priority, so we are glad to see our long-term investment in safety showing results in these latest IIHS tests.”Sentra joins the 2016 Altima, Maxima and Murano in earning the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating. Forward Emergency Braking is available on 2016 Sentra SR and SL models equipped with the optional Technology Package.

Causeway GazetteCauseway GazetteSHAMROCKS FOR THE SHORE 5K/10K

Team Causeway Rocks with 11 medal winnersManahawkin- This race event was originally “Shamrocks for

Sandy” to benefi t victims of hurricane Sandy in October 2012. Fast

forward to 2016 and many of us have resumed our normal lives.

Sadly there are still families that have not fully recovered from the

devastating storm.

The race event has been renamed “Shamrocks for the Shore”.

Still the mission remains the same, to raise money for the remaining

victims. The race is hosted by the Southern Ocean Ladies Running

Club of Barnegat. 2016 marks the 4th year of the race.

I ran my fi rst 5k last year at the 2015 Shamrocks for sandy. I

ran it along with 4 of my co-workers from the Causeway Family of

Dealerships. This year we decided to bring a few more Causeway

Family members. We grew from 5 in 2015 to 22 registered runners

in 2016! Team Causeway really showed up for this one! Out of the

22 team members we had 11 medal winners! We even had Mr. and

Mrs. Purul both win medals. Ryan came in 1st in his age group

and 8th overall. His wife Erin came in third overall Female and

tenth overall. Causeway’s Tracy Arntz fi nished second overall in

the women’s division. Causeway also had the honor of having the

overall fi rst place fi nisher as well. Chad Scanlon came across the

fi nish line at a scorching 18:03! I asked Chad if he ran track in high

school and was surprised to discover the answer was no. He did

however play soccer, basketball, and Baseball. I have also attached

the results from the top 25 overall fi nishers. Team Causeway had 8

fi nishers in the top 25, including me at 23.

My absolute favorite story of the day was the fi rst place Female

overall and 5th place overall. What makes this a special story is

her age. In the chart above you can see that Jessica Abbott is only

7 years old! I had the distinct please of speaking to this potential

running Phenom. She as you can imagine was a lovely young lady,

whose dad Steven (fi nished about a minute behind her) said she

just loves to run! The Abbott’s live in Toms River. I did my best to

try to recruit them to move to Manahawkin so should could attend

Southern Regional and run for the Ram’s! Stay tuned for the results

on my recruiting eff orts!

Team Causeway plans on participating in more races in the 2016

calendar.

DISRUPTION IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY: IT’S TIME TO EMBRACE THE CHANGE

If you have read some of the recent commentary on

the auto industry, you could get the impression that

it’s headed into a long, stormy, uneasy winter.

There’s been a lot of talk about “disruption,” about

new competitors who promise a new approach to

what a car can be.

Much of this unease over potential disruption

has resulted from the rapid emergence of new

technologies and “mobility services” – all of which

are competing to establish a new vision of our

industry’s future. In addition, these technologies are

developing at a speed unfamiliar to our industry.

Whether we’re talking about Autonomous Drive

and connected vehicle technologies, ride-sharing

services, or alternative propulsion technologies, the

fact is, nobody in the industry knows for certain

which will become mainstream.

Companies can make some educated guesses

and calculated bets – and we have – but in the end

customers will decide which technologies and

business plans will survive.

So, yes, the future isn’t clear. The biggest questions

revolve around how these potentially disruptive

changes will come about:

What regulatory roadblocks will emerge?

What role will tech companies play?

Which of our companies will succeed or fail in

addressing the coming wave of change?

And which will be able to move quickly and adapt

in such a rapidly changing technological landscape?

I don’t pretend to know all the answers to these

questions. But rather than fear the disruption, I believe

our industry really has no choice but to embrace it.

I expect the global auto industry to see more

changes in the next fi ve years than it has in the

last 20. And those changes will bring tremendous

opportunities for those companies with the skills and

foresight to seize them.

Rather than fear tech companies’ interest, I see

this new competition as healthy for our industry. We

have a lot to learn from them, and they have much to

learn from us, which is quite clear considering all the

automotive talent they have been hiring.

With that said, here are some thoughts on what I

see on our industry’s long-term horizon.

When I last spoke at the New York International

Auto Show breakfast in 2012, our industry was still

focused on whether electric vehicles were the future.

Nissan had just introduced the LEAF a year earlier

and we had sold 30,000 units.

Since then, the Renault-Nissan Alliance is leading

the industry with more than 300,000 EVs sold

globally – not as much as we had expected, but

certainly a healthy start.

More signifi cantly, today nearly every major

automaker has ambitious projects underway for new

EVs and other zero-emissions vehicles. It’s clear EVs

are here to stay.

There are several reasons to be bullish about EV’s

future.

In his latest LinkedIn Infl uencer post, Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn addresses the issue of “disruption” in the auto industry and competitors who promise a new approach to what a car can be. The LinkedIn post is excerpted from a keynote speech Ghosn gave at the opening of the New York International Auto Show on March 23.

Nissan Dealer in Ocean and Monmouth County’s

4.9 out of 5 stars!

REVIEWED

To deal with the

threat of climate

change, the world is

demanding that our

industry invest more

in zero-emissions

t r a n s p o r t a t i o n .

Governments around

the world are imposing

stricter limits on CO2

emissions, and one

major response has to

be electrifi cation.

But beyond

e n v i r o n m e n t a l

regulation, EVs just

make sense.

We have already

seen within Nissan

and Renault how the

cost of EVs continues

to go down as their

economies of scale begin to inch closer to those

enjoyed by the internal combustion engine.

EVs are also relatively simple machines: a battery

and electric motors. They require far less service, no

oil changes and they are extremely reliable.

With battery technology improving and the

charging infrastructure expanding in much of the

world, we are nearing the turning point where EVs

will become more of a mainstream option.

There’s been another important change since 2012.

Then, no one was talking about Autonomous Drive

vehicles.

In January, I visited Nissan’s Silicon Valley R&D

offi ces in California. I spent considerable time

driving around the streets of Sunnyvale – hands-free

and with my eyes off the road. Those cars will be far

more connected than those on the road today. They

will be a much more personal space, an extension of

ourselves – just as smartphones are today.

And the EV is the perfect platform for the future

of Autonomous Drive and connected vehicle

technology, which will, in turn, help accelerate the

adoption of EVs.

The trend toward more connected cars is also

critical to meet the expectations of our future buyers,

those who are just getting their driver’s licenses

today.

The benefi ts of highly connected, Autonomous

Drive cars are clear: They hold the promise of

making driving far safer, less stressful, more effi cient

and more rewarding. And as we did with our EVs, the

Alliance will aim these future cars at the heart of the

mass market.

With each international auto show, more

automakers are spelling out their visions and placing

their bets on the future. And that’s good.

Yes, there’s a lot at stake. Yes, there is a lot of

uncertainty. But this is not a time for the conservative

or the cautious.

Because for those open to new ideas and new ways

of doing things, the opportunities for our industry to

grow and better serve society’s needs has never been

greater.

The pending merger of new technologies and

new business models means not only new business

opportunities, but ultimately a more effi cient and

safer transportation system at a lower cost to society.

Three forces – electrifi cation, Autonomous Drive

and connectivity – are about to change our industry

in ways we are only beginning to imagine.

To me, it feels like we’re at the dawn of a new

spring in the auto industry, and I’m excited to see

how this new era unfolds.

additional support, including a Ford Transit Connect

van to help MiSci’s Traveling Science program.

Ford’s support of Spark!Lab is the latest

collaboration with the Smithsonian, a relationship

which dates back 40 years and includes a wide

range of learning activities, including Spark!Labs in

Anchorage, Kansas City and Washington, D.C. and

the Ford-sponsored Giant Panda Cam at the National

2017 Honda Civic Hatchback PrototypeBrings Sporty, Euro Styling to North American Debut in New York

The next-generation Civic Hatchback, with its striking

design and the promise of a sporty, European-inspired driving

experience, today made its North American debut in prototype

form just a day before the 2016 New York International Auto

Show. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. also confi rmed that

it will marry the all-new 1.5-liter turbo engine to its 6-speed

manual transmission for more sporty and dynamic performance.

The arrival of the production 2017 Civic Hatchback later this

year marks the continued rollout of the 10th-generation Civic

lineup, the sportiest and most expansive family of Civics in the

car’s 44-year history. The Civic Sedan was recently named the

2016 North American Car of the Year, and sales of Civic are up

37 percent through the fi rst two months of 2016.

Being built on the same world-class platform as the 10th-

generation Civic Sedan, the 2017 Civic Hatchback will be

defi ned by an unparalleled combination of sportiness, effi ciency

and utility, with distinctive styling and premium features that

enthusiasts demand. The fi ve-door hatchback will feature one

powertrain for the U.S. market, a 1.5-liter DOHC direct-injected

Turbo engine that can be mated to either a sporty CVT or a slick-

shifting 6-speed manual transmission.

“The Civic Hatchback wraps the 10-generation Civic platform

and fi ve-door hatchback utility

in emotional, Euro-inspired

styling,” said Jeff Conrad,

senior vice president and

general manager of the Honda

Division of American Honda

Motor Co., Inc. “Off ered with

the fi rst application of the

1.5-liter turbo engine paired

with a manual transmission,

this sportiest Civic to date

will attract a whole new set of

enthusiasts buyers to the model

and Honda brand.”

The Civic Hatchback will launch later this year as the third

new Civic variant, joining the 2016 Civic Sedan and Civic

Coupe. The 10th-generation Civic lineup will be rounded out in

2017 with the arrival of Civic Si variants and the radical new

Civic Type R.

The 2017 Civic Hatchback was developed by the joint eff orts

of Honda R&D teams in Europe and Japan and is expected to

bring new buyers into the Honda showroom here in the U.S.

“We knew that we needed to create a striking and stand-out

exterior design that challenged conventional European compact

styling while staying true to the original Civic’s core values,”

said Daisuke Tsutamori, chief exterior stylist for the 2017 Civic

Hatchback Prototype. “This vehicle represents a marriage of

distinctive and sporty design, rewarding driving dynamics and

versatile practicality.”

New larger and wider wheels and tires give a feeling of an

assured stance, while the long wheelbase, short overhangs and

sleek cabin area further add to the dynamic feel of the exterior.

At the front of the car, a short overhang with large air intakes

presents a sharp and aggressive interpretation of Honda’s family

face. LED headlights and daytime running lights fl ow from

beneath the boldly sculpted hood into the muscular front wheel

arches.

The sleek and swept-back body lines continue along the side

of the car with a crease that incorporates front and rear door

handles before culminating in the distinctive C-shaped LED

rear lights. A second, lower character line extends from behind

the front wheels up through the doors and meets the rear wheel

arches, emphasizing the car’s dynamic forward-leaning stance.

At the rear, the bumper incorporates angular creases and vents,

designed to echo the aggressively styled nature of the rest of the

car.

The 2017 Civic Hatchback will be produced exclusively at the

Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) plant in Swindon.

Manahawkin, NJ – The Manahawkin Elks

Americanism and Veterans Committees did not

have time for the “Winter Blahs” this year, but

instead served and involved our local community

in a number of projects and events.

In November, we hosted over 80 local veterans at

our Annual Luncheon Event. They were greeted

by military vehicles parked in front of the Elks,

welcomed by the local Stafford Police Chief and

his staff, and received benefit information from

VetGroup, Inc. The veterans were entertained by

the Ms. NJ Senior America Cameo Club, served

a fabulous turkey dinner by Lodge members, and

then played bingo to round out the afternoon.

In December, we finalized a response to a

request from Col. Vinny Valinotti, Commander

of Task Force Medical in Kosovo, to take part in

a project labelled “3 P’s for Peace.” His Unit was

serving with the NATO KFOR peace-keeping

operation to assist in ensuring security and

stability in Kosovo as local institutions continue

to develop. Our military volunteered their

personal time to teach the children leadership,

tolerance and life skills. Through this self less

act, they identified a need for school supplies

which would help in their education efforts.

Through social media and direct communication

to our local community and the generosity of

our Lodge members, we collected and mailed

197 lbs. of school supplies. This act of kindness

allowed Colonel Valinotti’s unit to share in the

joy of giving during the Holiday Season.

In January, our Veterans backpack project was

finalized. The project was funded with a grant

from the Elks National Service Commission

along with charity funds from the Manahawkin

Elks. One hundred backpacks were filled with

new personal hygiene items, non-perishable

food, and gloves, hats, and socks. The backpacks

were provided to VetGroup, Inc. and the Ocean

County Veterans Service Bureau for delivery

in a confidential manner to local homeless/

disadvantaged veterans in need of emergency or

supportive services.

In February, we finalized judging 139 essay

entries from over 400 written by local 5th to

8th graders, with the theme “What I Can Do to

Promote Americanism and Love of Country.” We

selected three entries for each division, 5th-6th

and 7th-8th graders, and forwarded those to our

District Elks for further competition. One entry,

Isabella Navantieri in Grade 8, placed second at

the District level and repeated her performance

and placed second at the State Elks level.

Congratulations to Isabella!

St. Francis Community Center Vacation Club Registration & Orientation

April 5, 2016 –The B.E.A.T. Center (Bringing Everyone All Together)

launched a CrowdRise fundraising campaign entitled, THE BEAT CENTER

OCEANFIRST MATCH CAMPAIGN – Bringing Everyone All Together to Fight

Hunger on April 30th and it is already generating some team fundraising and

top prize bids. Individual and team incentives include a

chance to have your name included in a logo at

The B.E.A.T. Center as well as a digital copy

sent to your home, and for the top donor of

$10,000 or more—an invitation to attend

a VIP reception with Jon Bon Jovi and

partners at the B.E.A.T. Center Grand

Opening in Toms River, N.J. Additional

local incentives will be announced on

the CrowdRise page at https://www.

crowdrise.com/beat-center-oceanfirst-

match-campaign.

The FoodBank of Monmouth and

Ocean Counties, Peoples Pantry (Inspire

NJ), and Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation joined

forces last April to form The B.E.A.T. Center. The B.E.A.T.

Center is a community hub where families and individuals in need can access food,

job training, and resources to end the cyclical causes of hunger in New Jersey.

The “one-stop shop” will serve as a FoodBank satellite location that includes a

food distribution center, commercial kitchen, culinary skills training program and

community resource center, as well as the permanent home of Peoples Pantry and

a second location of JBJ Soul Kitchen.

Ocean County is New Jersey’s fastest growing county and was “ground zero”

for Hurricane Sandy. According to FEMA, over 40,000 structures in the county

were damaged or destroyed in the storm – 55% of the state’s total. The creation

of The B.E.A.T. Center is in response to the reality that today, more than three

years after the storm, there are thousands of families who are still struggling to

regain housing, fi nancial stability and to overcome food insecurity—and they are

turning to local agencies in record numbers for assistance. The impact of this

collaboration is projected to provide $5 million in support to families in need in

its fi rst year.

The CrowdRise Campaign will run from March 29th to April 26th for the

Grand Prize, and will continue with incentives through the Grand Opening of the

facility in May. For those who don’t reach the top goals, there are still plenty of

local and global gift incentives throughout the campaign.

To join the campaign, and start fundraising, please visit:http://tinyurl.com/z2owax7*About the OceanFirst Foundation Match:

A generous grant from the OceanFirst Foundation is helping to make The

B.E.A.T. Center a reality. OceanFirst will match dollar for dollar up to $100,000

and every dollar donated goes directly to The B.E.A.T. Center.

2016 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PREVIEWBy Wallace Moore-Sales Manager at Causeway Ford

Postseason predictionsAL WILD CARDToronto vs. Cleveland: The most explosive

lineup in baseball, behind Bautista, Donaldson

and Co., scoring will not be an issue. Cleveland

with a bounce back year from Kluber and two

strong young pitchers in Carrasco and Salazar

Cleveland will make a run at 90 wins.

WINNER: CLEVELANDDIVISIONAL ROUNDKansas City vs. Cleveland: An AL central

matchup here with the #1 team in the AL behind

a great bullpen and breakout stars Lorenzo Cain

taking on the Wild Card winning Cleveland

Indians.

Boston vs. Houston: Back to October for

the Red Sox, the addition of Price and Kimbrel

solidify their pitching staff , Betts and Bogaerts

take the next step to being perennial All Stars.

Houston with superstar Carlos Correa leading

the charge will take the AL West and make back

to back playoff appearances.

WINNERS: Kansas City, BostonALCSKansas City vs. Boston: If Kansas City has

lead after the 6th inning it is pretty much good

night for their opponents, with Price as the ace

of the staff the Red Sox are poised for a strong

October run.

WINNER: BostonNL WILD CARDPittsburgh vs. Washington: Gerrit Cole

leads a solid staff and McCutchen, Marte and

Polanco become the best outfi eld in baseball.

Washington after a disappointing 2015 season

will bounce back and threaten the Mets for the

NL East Crown.

WINNER: WASHINGTONNL DIVISIONAL ROUND:Chicago vs. Washington: The Cubs are

the trendy pick to win their fi rst World Series

in over 100 years, following great years

from Rizzo, Bryant and the additions of

Heyward and Zobrist will give them the

veteran leadership they need to make a

strong October push. This series will be

very close with Scherzer and Strasburg

leading Washington.

WINNER: WASHINGTONNY Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers:

A rematch from last year, the Dodgers

playing great baseball win the NL West by

10 games behind a maturing Puig and the

always reliable Kershaw. The NY Mets

after a shaky start pull away from the

Nationals and take the NL East on some

quiet but smart midseason moves.

WINNER: NY MetsNLCSNY Mets vs. Washington: If you like

off ense this may not be the series for you,

the two best staff s in the NL face off in an

NLCS for the ages, this has seven game

series written all over it Harvey vs. Scherzer,

DeGrom vs. Strasburg, Syndergaard vs.

Gonzalez.

WINNER: NY MetsWORLD SERIESBoston vs. NY Mets: A rematch of 86’,

Big Papi looking to go out on top with another

World Series ring faces a Mets team looking for

their fi rst ring in 30 years after a disappointing

ending to last year’s season.

WINNER NY Mets: The Mets riding the

arms of their young staff will fi nally have their

day down “The Canyon of Heroes”.

AL MVP – A case can be made every year

for Mike Trout but being on an 80 win team,

my prediction for AL MVP goes to Lorenzo

Cain. After fi nishing third last year he makes

the leap to superstardom, his all around game

along with the Royals strong regular season

will propel him to his fi rst MVP award.

NL MVP – If 31 homeruns and over 100

RBI’S can be considered a disappointing year

for you, your future looks very bright. Anthony

Rizzo will take the next step and lead the

Cubs to the #1 record in the NL. I can see a

300/40/120 line for Rizzo this year hitting in

the middle of a very potent lineup.

AL CY YOUNG – King Felix regains

his throne following a 20 win 2016 and over

200 K’s. A close second will go to the always

reliable David Price as he leads the Red Sox to

the AL East crown.

NL CY YOUNG – This could be the

closest CY Young race in recent history a very

strong cast of NL starting pitchers look to win

the CY Young (Kershaw, Harvey, Scherzer,

Degrom, Grienke, etc.). A tight race that will

be determined in the last month of the season

with Matt Harvey leading a second half Mets

charge will win his fi rst CY Young and anchor a

dominate young staff .

THE ULTIMATECOMMUTER CAR

When you think the “best of” you don’t

exactly think of small four door commuter car…

but I’m going to show you why you should! This

is a car that has been doing it since 1982 as the

ultimate compact car everyone drove (or knew

someone that did). I’m talking about the 2016

Nissan Sentra! The Nissan Sentra (also known

as the Sunny, Sylphy, and Pulsar) is a real

contender in the compact commuter car market.

This newest face-lifted model has enough

technology to make your BMW or Mercedes

blush! When you fi rst look at this Sentra you

notice the new V shaped grill (adorning most

Nissan’s now) this one change moved the car

from a lookalike to something all its own. You

have new LED headlights with LED Accent

lighting and Fog lights on this particular model.

This SR model has nice two tone rims with 16

inch tires wrapped around them. The rear brake

lights still have the same look but now with strip

style LED lights instead of round LED ones.

Overall the exterior has a nice fresh look while

keeping the same style the people love.

The part most people care about is the

interior, where most of your time is spent. They

incorporated a nicer looking

steering wheel from the Juke

and added nice contrasting

touches throughout the cabin.

They also took the awesome

gauges that were in the Altima.

The Advanced Drive Assist

Display in-between the tech

and speedo shows all your

important data that you may

need like Fuel economy, miles to empty,

collision warning, etc. You can also change

various functions in that screen that eff ect how

your car behaves. This model had a manual

climate control system but you can upgrade

to the automated system as well. The car has

a good amount of room I’m 6’2” and I had

plenty of room in the car. The only thing for

tall people is that if you move the seat all the

way back you might not any leg room in the

back. Nissan retuned both the suspension and

CVT transmission to work out some of the bugs

of the previous model. They brought back the

same 1.8L engine as before, it’s not a racecar

but you will get pretty good mileage out of it.

There are also “Sport” and “Economy” modes

to choose from, these will change the way the

transmission shifts to enhance your driving

experience. Since driving is the key function of

owning a vehicle Nissan has put the driving fi rst

and foremost in this 2016 Sentra.

The 2016 Sentra is an all-around good

vehicle with updated looks and very nice tech

improvements like: Nissan Connect Apps,

Siri Hands Free, Intelligent Cruise Control,

Heated front mirrors, and the Advanced Drive

Assist Display. You will also get the wisdom

and focus of a company that was founded

back in 1918 in Yokohama Japan (under the

name Kwaishinsha). Nissan’s love of racing

and embracing technology and innovation is

what kept the company as one of the top car

companies in the world. If you are in the market

for a good compact / midsize car, you cannot

pass this one up!

Top TenPerennials for the Northeast

10. New York IronweedNew York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis)is a tough plant, and its name was given to it inrecognition of the strength of its stems.

-www.home.howstuffworks.com

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is another beautifulplant that needs very little to thrive. Despite itsdelicate appearance, it can also survive in less-than-ideal conditions.

8. Yarrow

Coral bells (Heuchera) is another plant that doeswell in shade. Its spikes of fl owers can be bright red, pink or white, but for most gardeners, this plant’sreal beauty lies in its stunning foliage of silver,burgundy, bronze, plum and gold.

6. Coral Bells

Another super-low-maintenance perennial thatthrives in a wide range of conditions and is hardy inthe Northeast, soapwort grows beautifully even ondry roadsides.

4. Soapwort

The morning light variety is the ornamental grass that screams “island paradise” (even in theNortheast) when backlit by the sun with its large,pink-orange blooms, which dry beautifully forindoor arrangement, and fountainlike foliage, andthe zebragrass type is one of the most unique-looking grasses you see in a landscaped space.

2. Miscanthus

There are a lot of reasons that garden phlox (Phloxpaniculata) is a great addition to any Northeasternfl ower garden. Garden phlox’s strong stems are resistant to wind and the quick onset of winter.

9. Garden Phlox

Astilbe (False Spirea) is a sturdy plant that needsvery little to thrive. Dramatic, colorful blooms top theplant.

7. Astilbe

For many gardens and landscapes, the spiky, surprisingly blue Veronica is a staple plant, andfor good reason: It loves sun, takes little care, andprovides color not only in borders, beds and rockyareas but also in containers and as cut fl owersindoors.

5. Veronica

Known as the “true geranium,” cranesbill not only survives the harsh Northeastern winter but also offers fl owers that add a range of color (from white to pink to blue) to a garden during bloomingmonths.

3. Cranesbill

Catmint is an ultra-hardy perennial with seriousbenefi ts: This plant will not only brave drought andextreme heat, resist deer, adapt to a variety of soilsand do just fi ne in part sun in the Northeast.

RAISING MONEYTO RAISE UP STUDENTS

My Students“It is the supreme art of

the teacher to awaken joy

in creative expression and

knowledge.” - Einstein

My students are

constantly out of their

seats, investigating and

working collaboratively.

We are creating an

innovative Maker Space area in our classroom and

these tables will do the trick.

We are found in a small town in south Jersey, My

students are little beach bums, living so close to the

Atlantic Ocean.

My 5th grade students are curious about the

environment and protecting our beaches. Sandy came

through our area and damaged quite a bit of it. My

students saw fi rsthand how precious life is, and not just

their own. They know the importance of preservation

and how to treat their home, Earth. Our school is a

close knit family, we work together to create an

environment that is fun and nurturing. Our PTA helps

provide many activities for our students that are sure

to fi ll them with wonder. I can honestly say I love

going to work in the morning. I never know what the

day will bring, but I know I will be amazed!

My ProjectWe are in the process of creating a Maker Space in our

classroom. This new, innovative, student-led design

space is where creativity comes to life! Children learn

best when they can move about, get up out of their

seats and simply stand up! These tables will hold

materials and allow students to stand while they are

busy writing, creating, and learning. I foresee a little

area where children are standing around, working

together, creating! I watch them create every day,

these tables will allow us an organized space in which

to do just that!

I recently attended a Maker Space seminar and

couldn’t wait to get started in my classroom.

I saw an innovative school where students used tall

tables to stand and work while other students sat on

stools. I know that the tables can create the atmosphere

I am striving for. I know that the students in my room

will love to be out and about the hallway in their new

Maker Space!
