The contract to light up the Woodbridge Middle School's stage is so amateur theatrical groups will have a professional stage on which to perform
Two years ago, the township was renting the Hungarian Club of Woodbridge on behalf of an amateur theatre group to put on their stage productions. Since there was a falling out between the club and the town administration over who actually owned the club and the land surrounding it, Mayor John McCormac set his sites on turning Woodbridge Middle School's auditorium into a professional theatre. Tuesday night, the town council took a step in that direction by awarding a $137,950 contract to install professional lighting at the auditorium. The bid, rendered by FSC Electric in Perth Amboy, was the lowest of five bids submitted for the project. The FSC bid was about $48,000 less than the next lowest bid of $185,300 from ACI Electric in …

A dozen WMS scholars learned about rocketry at a special Rutgers program designed to give promising students a leg up with science and technology.
Woodbridge Middle School students got an intensive course in the wonders of math and science last month. That's when the school partnered with Rutgers University’s Engineering Honor Society, Tau Beta Pi, to offer 12 students a fun afternoon of building model rockets and learning about the role momentum plays in movement. The school's engineering students are preparing for their third consecutive year of competition in the New Jersey Future City Contest. In preparation for January’s competition, Woodbridge Middle School teacher Richard Dosch and Tau Beta Pi NJ Chapter President Adam Pizzaia established a team building event that would allow the middle school students to work with college juniors and seniors on the science of rocketry. “…

Students from the township's middle schools competed at a regional challenge this weekend at Rutgers to design an environmentally sensitive city of the future. Several teams from Iselin won top honors.
What does the city of the future look like? It's not a sci-fi contest, but the concept captured the imagination of dozens of middle school students this past weekend as Rutgers hosted the regional finals of the 'Future City Competition' in New Brunswick. Teams of students from township schools, including Woodbridge Middle School and Iselin Middle School, competed at the event. At the regional finals on Saturday, students were challenged to design a city of the future which uses an energy source that doesn't deplete natural resources and has a minimal impact on the environment. Students were asked to consider the safety, cost, efficiency and appearance of the city in their design plans. But the youngsters didn't just glue a lot of toilet …
