Galloway Township

Officials reach out to seniors

The township wants to hear from - and help - its senior residents.

Officials have launched a No Senior Left Behind program to seek input and inform them about related service programs, according to a statement from township Manager Jill Gougher.

The first task: Compile a database of residents who may benefit from those programs. Those on the list will receive notice of related informational meetings as well as community events and transportation services.

The Galloway Township Police Department also offers Operation Lifeline, which aims to establish daily contact between qualified seniors and police.

Senior citizens - or their friends and loved ones - can get more information or sign up for the distribution list by calling the township Community Services Department at 609-652-8657, ext. 15.

Merged schools get new name

Three merged schools in southern Cape May County will have a new name next fall: Cape Trinity Catholic School.

The Camden Diocese is merging St. Ann Regional School with Our Lady Star of the Sea Regional School in Cape May and St. Raymond in Lower Township. St. Raymond closed two years ago in a merger with Our Lady Star of the Sea.

The end result will be Cape Trinity Catholic School in Wildwood in the building now used by St. Ann's.

The school will take on the new name beginning in September 2010.
