Teen to attend talented youth programBY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun
Calling Abagail Cohen academ-ically gifted is an understate-ment. The 13-year-oldLawrenceville resident will be at-tending the John Hopkins Centerfor Talented Youth's Summer Pro-gram for the third year in a row.
The CTY's Summer Program isoffered by John Hopkins Univer-sity and is full of challenging, col-lege-level courses for gifted stu-dents in second through 12thgrade. The format of the programmakes it possible for these stu-dents to work at an acceleratedpace, study topics in-depth, andexplore subjects that are not usu-ally available to students theirage.
Cohen, now an eighth grader atLawrence Middle School, hasqualified for and attended theJohn Hopkins CTY since she wasin sixth grade.
"Whatever grade you're in,there are different tests you can
take to qualify for different cours-es," she said. "I took the SCAT[Scholastic and College AbilityTest], an online computerizedtest, which qualified me."
Cohen explained how her olderbrother participated in CTY'sSummer Program for severalyears, which is what persuadedher to go to the program.

"By seeing how much he en-joyed it, I wanted to do it, too," shesaid. "Were both people who real-ly like to learn, so I figured if itssomething thats going to be veryenjoyable and something that Imgoing to learn a lot from, itmatched up with who I am."
CTY Summer Programs are of-fered at 24 different sites aroundthe country, from John HopkinsUniversity on the east coast toStanford University on the west.
There are more than 100 coursesavailable from which to chooseand each is held for three weeks.
Students are able to choosetheir desired campus, which ulti-
mately depends on location, andwhere they dorm as if they wereattending an actual college. Ac-cording to Cohen, there are be-tween 300 and 400 kids at eachcampus throughout the country.
For Cohen's studies, she choseto attend Dickinson College at theCarlisle, Pa., campus, where shewill travel back to this summerfor her new course.
The first year she was in theprogram, Cohen explained howshe took a Model United Nationscourse, a "baby CTY," since it's notconsidered a college course, but isstill an advanced course for stu-dents her age.
However, last year, she ex-plained how she took ethics andphilosophy, which was the equiva-lent of taking a one-semester col-lege course.
"We studied Plato's 'The Repub-lic,' analyzed the characters andother aspects, studied Aristotle,went over ethical situations andfound our own solutions, andthings like that," Cohen said."Knowing that you're doing some-thing that most middle schoolersaren't doing makes it more spe-cial."
This year, Cohen decided tochallenge herself by taking "In-troduction to Biomedical Sci-ences," an introduction to humanbiology and the science of medi-cine, where she will be learningthe different systems in the body(respiratory, circulatory, excreto-
ry, etc.), homeostatic imbalancesthat cause diseases, and parts ofgenetics, while also working in a

The Lawrence Township Edu-cation Foundation recentlyawarded a $46,000 grant to theLawrence Township school dis-trict to fund various renovationsat the Lawrence High School li-brary, which will update and en-hance the school's current tech-nology.
LHS will begin the major reno-
vations to the library and mediacenter over the next few months.They are projected to be complet-ed by January 2014.
There are three major renova-
tions taking place, with a possiblefourth that is not being paid forby the LTEF grant, said CarinaGonzalez, grant writer and LHSlibrary media specialist.
The renovations include lower-ing shelving for easier access tobooks and other materials (cur-rently at seven-feet-tall, loweringto 4.5-feet-tall), a "juice bar" thatwill allow students to chargetheir personal devices, new lap-tops to replace desktops in the
media center, updated seating,and new and larger signage forpeople to easily navigate aroundthe library.
Gonzalez, who did a consider-
able amount of research whenwriting the grant, noted how eachof the renovations assists stu-dents and teachers in differentways, while also adding a newtouch and feel to the library.
Our first plan is to lower theshelves to approximately 54 inch-es, opening the space and makingit more welcoming, she said.We will also be placing canopytops on the shelving, creating adisplay area for student artwork
and books of interest, which willtransform the look and feel of thespace.

On Monday, March 25, TheBridge Academy will host a freemath workshop utilizing Bridg-ing the Gap Mathematics cur-riculum. The workshop is open toarea teachers and parents andruns from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Our math teachers are achiev-ing unprecedented results usingthese methods, said Sue Morris,director of Education at TheBridge Academy. Our studentsscores in standardized assess-
ments and college entrance testsare stronger than ever before, andwe are excited to share our find-ings with other teachers.
The workshop is also approvedby the state Department of Edu-cation for continuing educationcredit as a service provider.
The catalyst at The BridgeAcademy is a new curriculumbased on the three-book series,
Bridging the Gap Mathematics,written by Carrie Coleman Stras-burger, Bridges math consultant,in coordination with the schoolsmath team.
Bridging the Gap Mathemat-ics is a multi-sensory curricu-lum designed to teach math tostudents with learning disabili-ties, but is also appropriate to usewith mainstream math students.The curriculum was developed asa direct result of The Bridge
Academys math teams search fora better way to deliver math con-cepts to their students. The cur-riculum is based on the work ofeducational researcher, MaheshSharma.
The Bridge Academy is an in-dependent school inLawrenceville that specializes ineducating students with lan-guage-based disabilities. While at
The Bridge Academy, Strasburgerset about adapting the Orton-Gillingham principles for teach-ing language arts to students withlearning disabilities for math in-struction. While Orton-Gilling-ham was developed to remediatelanguage-based disabilities,Strasburger designed a math cur-riculum utilizing the same diag-nostic and prescriptive princi-ples.
We were fortunate to receive a
sponsorship for the workshopfrom Janssen Pharmaceuticals,Morris said. With their support,we will be able to provide thisworkshop at no cost to area teach-ers.
For more information and tomake a reservation, contact TheBridge Academy at (609) 844-0770or go to banj.org for more infor-mation.

The Mount Carmel Guild is anorganization that has been assist-ing those in need in Mercer Coun-ty since 1920. This organizationhelps families or individuals, re-gardless of race or religion, whoare unable to afford basic needs,such as food, medical care orhousing. They are currently pro-
viding emergency assistance to8,000 families, and in 2012, MountCarmel Guild provided 2,130 in-home health care visits to elderlypatients in need. It is also the onlyorganization that provides thisfree service in Mercer County.
The Lawrenceville moms gottogether to support this organiza-tion, so that they can continue toassist fellow neighbors. A specialthanks to the following
Lawrenceville moms for theirgenerous donations MicheleBowes, Anna White, Dawn San-

Following the shelving, the new juicebar is going to be installed. It is probablythe most anticipated renovation for stu-dents.
Having wires everywhere is untenable,
so instead were creating a charging sta-tion in the Library Media Center wherestudents can plug in while they work,Gonzalez said. The juice bar will be barheight with a very modern feel. Pictureblack stools with spheres of plugs [power
spheres] on the tabletop where studentscan charge while they work or socialize.The current design is to accommodate 12seated students. However, we imaginemore will be able to lounge around andhave access to the ports.
The library will also be replacing its cur-rent desktop computers with laptops, sinceGonzalez found that having movable com-puters would greatly assist students and
teachers.Education today is highly collabora-
tive, which doesnt always work well withdesktops, she said. The way our desktopsare currently set up also makes it difficultfor teachers because they are split on two
sides of the room. Teachers are currentlyforced to divide their attention betweentwo sides of a 5,000-square foot area. By re-placing our desktops with laptops, the en-tire space will become mobile and flexibleand teachers can pick whichever area bestmeets their needs for the type of instruc-tion they have planned.
Gonzalez added how much of the grantmoney will be used for shelving, with the
rest being dispersed among the other reno-vations.
Roughly 40 percent of the grant isgoing towards the new laptops, 45 percent

Its hard to believe that three
months have passed since the
tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Conn. It was a hor-
rific day in our nations history, a day
that seemed to get worse by the minute
as more details surfaced about what
exactly happened, and how many lives
were lost.
The death of 20 children and six edu-
cators at the hands of a madman
raised questions of community, gun
control and school security. Should we
be doing more to protect our children?
If we cant feel safe when we leave
them at school, where can we feel safe?
Last week, Janet Robinson, the
school superintendent in the Newtown
school district, spoke to more than 200
state school administrators at the New
Jersey Association of School Adminis-
trators School Security Conference on
the topic.
Robinsons keynote address was
closed to the public, but in a follow-up
press conference, she made one strik-
ing statement:
There isnt a lot we could have done
differently.
Sadly, shes right. Stricter gun laws
wouldnt necessarily have prevented
the tragedy. Better mental health sup-
port wouldnt necesarily have stopped
the gunman. Tighter security wouldnt
necessarily have saved the lost lives.
As school districts in our area are fi-
nalizing 2013-2014 budgets, and as
school administration teams are evalu-
ating security measures, its important
to remember that, sometimes, theres
just not much we can do.
Schools should do everything in
their power to provide the best possible
security at the best possible cost. Tech-
nological advances provide our district
with a terrific opportunity to enhance
security in an all-encompassing, cost-
effective way.
But districts need to increase securi-
ty with the students psyches in mind.
What message are we sending if we re-
quire metal detectors, security escorts
and full-body searches for everyone
who enters a school building?
Robinson warned against just that
last week when she said: I think as a
reaction, people do overreach. They
want too many guarantees. They want
to turn our schools into fortresses.
The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elemen-
tary should not be understated, and
will never be forgotten, even here in
New Jersey, two states away.
As we remember that day and, more
importantly, the families who lost
loved ones, lets remember that our
schools need to protect our kids both
physically and mentally.
in our opinion
Never forget Sandy HookThree months after the Connecticut tragedy, school security is a topic once again
What are your thoughts?
How far should our schools go toprotect the safety and welfare of ourchildren? Voice your opinion on thesepages by sending The Sun a letter to theeditor.

available to the community andpartners with LMS to maintainthe park.
Congratulations on all you do
for Lawrenceville, wrote MaryWeeden Winants last March in anote with her donation to theLMS annual appeal. The park, inhonor of my late husband, ChuckWeeden, is especially heartwarm-ing to me.
Mary currently resides in Ver-mont.
Over the years, the LMS Land-scape Committee has made im-provements to the park includingplantings, pathways, lighting, sig-nage, a gazebo, a picnic table, and
benches. The park has become acommunity gathering place forseasonal events, such as the LMSMusic in the Park summer con-cert program, Scarecrows in theVillage and Holidays in the Vil-

lab to explore techniques in his-tology, anatomy, physiology andbiochemistry.
"Ive always loved science, andafter the past two years of takinghumanities classes, this seemedinteresting," she said. "This year, Ifigured I should try to take some-thing that might be a little bitharder that could push me, andalso something I was interested
in so I would have a good time andalso learn a lot."Ill be dissecting a fetal pig,
which is going to be quite the ex-perience. And, there are differentactivities that really help youlearn what youve alreadylearned and more."
Although students don't gener-ally take a course like this untiltheir freshman or sophomoreyear in college, Cohen decidedtaking a more difficult course thissummer would help her in life,
since she plans to pursue a careerin biology.
"Its going to give me anoverview of what exactly Id be
doing for the rest of my life if Idecided to pursue something likethis, and thats something that ishelpful, but also something amaz-ing that not everyone gets thechance to do before they choosewhat they want to do," she said.
By participating in the CTYSummer Program, students alsohave the opportunity to forgefriendships with students fromaround the country who sharetheir interests, something of
which Cohen is particularly fond."I thought it [the program]would be an experience thatwould change me and it has. Itsnot just a class; its somethingthat becomes your second life forthose three weeks," she said. "Be-cause you only have three weeks,you become close with all of thepeople there and the people youmeet are fantastic. Theyre all sogreat and its enchanting to bewith people you wouldnt find allin one place."
The friends that Cohen hasmade while at CTY is one of thehighlights of the whole experi-ence. She said she is not the aver-
age student and is generallyviewed as "the smart kid."
"You have all of these peoplewho are just like you [at the pro-gram]," she said. "When youre inpublic school, you might think,Well Im just that really smartkid that stands out from everyoneelse. And when I go there [CTY],the students there come and tellstories of how theyre really notaccepted into their schools. It [theprogram] really is like a second
life because everyone likes youand everyone accepts you for whoyou are, and thats something thatIve taken away from it. I go thereand I know Im accepted; Im not
just that one kid in my school thatloves to learn Im someone justlike them who has the same inter-ests and same personality. I knowthat theres always somewherethat Im going to be accepted."
Although Cohen is an impecca-
ble student, only having receivedtwo B's throughout all her yearsin Lawrence Township PublicSchools, she credits her father for
pushing her to succeed."He always pushes me; he
wants me to do the best I can," shesaid. "He's always trying to makeme learn new things, and I thinkits just at a point where trying tolearn something is my second na-ture. I like to have all of theknowledge that I can because Iknow, at some point, its going tohelp me."
Aside from being a straight-Astudent, Cohen juggles a variety
of other extra-circular activities,including being editor of herschool's yearbook, playing violinin LMS' school orchestra, run-ning track, assisting on studentcouncil, playing piano, contribut-ing to charitable organizationsand much more.
"I think I try to stay among thebest so that I have the opportuni-ty to do something like JohnsHopkins something that I could-
nt necessarily qualify for if Iwere just lost in the crowd of dif-ferent kids," she said. "And thatsanother reason why I strive to be
the best I can be because of all ofthe opportunities that it offersyou."
Cohen's dad, Morton, ex-plained how his daughter staystrue to her nickname, "EnergizerBunny."
"She's always doing some-thing," he said. "It's a pleasure tobe her parent."
Cohen applied to three privatehigh schools The Hun School ofPrinceton, Lawrence Prep and
Princeton Day School. She just re-ceived her acceptance letter fromher top choice, Princeton DaySchool, which she will be attend-ing come September.
"My dream is to go to PrincetonUniversity," she said. "It's adream, but it's something that Ifeel I can reach if I really try mybest."

HIGHLIGHTContinued from page 2
Highlight of experience is making friends, Cohen says
Quiet room will givestudents absolute quiet
will go into the labor and cost ofthe shelves, and 15 percent will gotoward the custom juice bar,she said. These are all estimates,of course, because we will havemoney for the signage and othersmall things like re-upholsteringour existing furniture.
These renovations will providestudents and teachers with moreflexible workspace, while also bet-tering the intellectual and physi-cal access to information, accord-ing to Gonzalez, who also de-
scribed another project that the li-brary is going to undertake asidefrom the major renovations.
In addition to the monies thatthe LTEF has so graciouslyawarded us, we are also looking to
turn one of our adjoining roomsinto a quiet room, she said. Theplan is to replace two of the at-tached walls with large windows,effectively creating a supervised
room where students can work inabsolute silence. We are lookingfor a way to do this ourselves, andso have no specific timeline forthat taking place.
LTEF is a nonprofit organiza-tion that fosters educational ex-cellence, creativity and achieve-ment in the LTPS. Since 1992, ithas funded more than 500 pro-grams in the LTPS system withgrants in excess of $2.5 million.
