Ronald McDonald House Southern New Jersey's 11th family room reopens for first time since pandemic
Ronald McDonald House Southern New Jersey's 11th family room is back open. This comes after it shut down at Jefferson Washington Township Hospital during the pandemic. It's the only family room in the world that sits in an emergency department. "Our family room programs for Ronald McDonald House are a direct reflection out into the community of what our house provides. So we believe that when a child is sick or injured, the family needs access to health care, we want to remove barriers and make things easier and offer support. So our family rooms are support for our community," Tracey Sharpe, the executive director of Ronald McDonald House Southern New Jersey, said. The Turnersville hospital has a second family room on the NICU floor. "To have a quiet space where they can bring their children, whether the children are here as patients, or they're here accompanying their parents is huge," Jenny Breunig, the vice president of operations for Jefferson Washington Township Hospital, said.

New Jersey students with autism, learning and developmental disabilities dance the night away at prom
It was all about the glitz and glam at the Durand School prom Friday night. Smiles, sparkles and dazzling moves filled the dance floor at the Supper Club in Turnersville. "We are dancing. A lot of people. People are clapping and cheering," said student Hayden Rossi. Durand serves students with autism and learning and developmental disabilities. The prom was filled with balloons, a backdrop, a photo booth and food. Georgia, the therapy dog, even made an appearance. "For us to be able to have an extravagant event where they can come and be dressed up and enjoy themselves, that's what it is all about," said Rae Pastore, director of marketing and development for Durand. This is an event that both students, their families and staff look forward to. They say this is one of their favorite nights of the year. "It's a little bit emotional, and it's just wonderful to see that they are enjoying themselves so much," said Marc Sano, executive director and CEO of Durand. "I am ecstatic. It makes me feel good," said Doris Teolio. "Makes my child feel included." "To be able to see their son or daughter step into a room and be cheered like a prom king or prom queen, to stand in front of a backdrop and have prom pictures, that's the best part of life," Pastore said. It was a special night that the school community will not forget. "I just wanted people to understand that individuals on the autism spectrum or with developmental disabilities are just like everyone else," said Jennifer Amoroso, director of Special Education. "It may take us a little longer to do certain things or learn certain topics, but they, too, have the same feelings and emotions."
