GREATER EGG HARBOR REGIONAL
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION NIGHT
Thursday, May 18th at 6:30pm
Hello Senior Students and Families,
We would like to draw your attention to a "game" that is occurring within our district that has a number of concerns connected to it.
Called "senior assassins" or simply "assassins", it involves senior students playing a game of water-tag across the entire community. Playing in pairs or teams, students are hunting their peers as "targets", including hiding out in bushes and surprising students as they leave their jobs or gyms.
Some of our concerns with this: water guns in schools can lead to a number of negative outcomes...spraying the wrong students leading to a confrontation, hitting a teacher and facing discipline, or getting water on a floor and creating a slippery surface that may cause injury to others.
Additionally, in the community, we just want to share some thoughts from a different perspective; at least three times in the last month a young person in this country has been shot with a firearm because they knocked on the wrong door or turned into the wrong driveway...the idea of hiding in bushes or behind cars and surprising people (in the dark!) may not be the best idea...
We recognize the idea behind this may be pure and just "kids looking for fun", but we want everyone to understand it will not be permitted on school grounds, and despite how some are portraying this, it is not condoned by the school or district.
Thank you,
Daniel Kern, Absegami Principal
Mike McGhee, Oakcrest Principal
Scott Parker, Cedar Creek Principal
James M Reina, Superintendent
