But thanks to the quick work of the janitorial staff, the damage was quickly minimized.
When the students and staff showed up for school at John F. Kennedy High School in Iselin Tuesday morning, they had an unpleasant surprise waiting for them. Somewhere between Monday evening, April 30, and the opening of school at 8 am on May 1, vandals had struck the school's stadium, field house, and concession stand, and wreaked havoc. Police said they met with JFK Athletic Director Paul Postorino to survey the damage at the school. Vandals had pried open the door to the men's bathroom in the fieldhouse, plugged up the sinks with paper towels, turned on the faucets, and flooded the bathroom. A stainless steel water fountain was pried off the outside of the field house, placed in the middle of the football field, with the word "LOL" - …

Students at the Iselin-based high school will use the money from a BASF science grant to study baby tilapia.
Science students at JFK High School in Iselin won a $5,000 grant to purchase a fish farm. The students were from one of ten selected schools in Morris and Middlesex counties to benefit from a $50,000 science education grant from BASF Corporation, which has research and development facilities in Iselin. The grant money for JFK will be used to purchase a mini-fish farm which will allow students to raise baby tilapia, a fresh water species. Students will conduct water sampling tests and learn how to preserve wild fish populations.

High schoolers throughout Woodbridge will help pick up and distribute food donations on Election Day from township voters at the polls.
Students at JFK High School are hoping voters in Woodbridge will be as generous on Election Day as they are the rest of the year. That's the day where township residents can do more than vote, but also help the needy with a simple food donation at the polling place they attend. The high schoolers at JFK in Iselin were helping to publicize the township's "Cast a Can" program, which encourages voters to bring a non-perishable food item to polling places throughout Woodbridge to help those facing hard times. Mayor John McCormac joined the students Wednesday to publicize the program, which with other charitable efforts throughout the township, has collected almost 100,000 pounds of food donations this year to help those in need.

Colonia High School hosted a science symposium, where students spoke and displayed their work.
Showcasing the efforts of students laboring in science research, Colonia High School hosted Science Symposium 2011. It was an opportunity for the science students of Woodbridge's three high schools to strut the stuff they've worked on all year to an appreciative and frequently fascinated audience. “The students are the scientists,” explained James Danch, a Science Research teacher at Colonia High School. The program is modeled after graduate-level science programs, with the teacher acting more as a mentor towards students who do research in fields of personal interest. “They are the ones discovering new things,” Danch said. Science Research, which is designed as a three-year program, requires that students design their experiments, …

The Colonia Patriots swept Iselin Kennedy in a two game series by the scores of 12–5 on Thursday and 8-4 on Friday.
