Students from five different schools will be involved in our “Shellfish in the Classroom” program this school year. Three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school will take part in the program. The schools are Lanoka Harbor Elementary School, grade 3 with teacher RCTB member Ms. Darlene Price, Ambassador Christian Academy in Toms River, grade 6 with teacher Ms. Diane Andryshak, Mid-streams Elementary School in Brick grade 5 with teacher Ms. Tina Lucchetti, Pinelands Regional Junior High School in Little Egg Harbor with RCTB members Ms. Charlene Lentini and Ms Melinda Most and West Windsor - Plainsboro High School North with Ms Kristina Nicosia.
