New Ventures Charter School over at the Teleport has an amazing principle, Ryan Melis…read more Mr. Melis has taken a child who has not been, let's say, fond of school and has made her not only want to go to school but actually is excited about school. He has a history of taking students in who have been told they either will Not graduates in time or will go nowhere and has Graduated them (many in time) and has gave them the confidence to be proud of themselves. Mr. Melis also has recruited a wonderful caring staff. They ALL actually care about the kids in their program. I highly recommend New Ventures.

I am reviewing tonight's performance of "Anything Goes" presented by this Catholic girls' high…read moreschool in Bayonne. This school has been in existence since before I was born and yet this is the first time I attended any function here, and I grew up in Bayonne. There is a very dedicated crew of people who undertook to create this production, complete with sophisticated set design, lighting, and orchestra. I think some of these students have a future career in theatre!
