The OCHS Class of 2026 recipients of the Friends & Volunteers (F & V) scholarship awards were selected from dozens of essays submitted last spring. The two award winners are now enjoying their first semester of college, but made time to graciously thank the F & V committee for the honor. The Friends and Volunteers wish them the very best in their college pursuits and beyond!

The Ocean City Primary School Third Grade Literature Club gathered after school on Tuesday, October 6, for their first meeting of the 2026-27 school year. 

Led by teacher Peg Dunner, students were excited to dive into the well-loved chapter book, The Worst Best School Year Ever, by Barbara Robinson. All who attended were gifted a hand-stitched bookmark kindly provided by F&V member Carla Heist and the Jersey Cape Atlantic Chapter of The Embroiderer’s Guild of America.  The club will meet bi-weekly this month, and again in April, to read and discuss a variety of children’s literature selections.

The F&V’s are proud sponsors of the Literature Club and provide books and a celebration for the students each year.
