Principal Message

To the Willingboro School Families,

I am Chrystal R. Walker, Principal of the Bookbinder Alternative Program and It is with great excitement and deep appreciation that I welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. I am delighted to return to the Willingboro school community, where I previously served as a Teacher, Supervisor, and Assistant Principal for 19 fulfilling years. Coming back feels like coming home. With over 30 years dedicated to education, I am thrilled to bring my experience and passion back to the Willingboro community where Boro Pride Lives Inside!

At Bookbinder, we are committed to recognizing and supporting every student's unique needs. Our goal is to encourage each individual to strive for their highest potential. As your Principal, I am dedicated to continuing this tradition with a renewed focus on collaboration, creativity, and growth.

Bookbinder is proud to be the home of THE PHOENIX, and our pledge each day is to:

  • Prepare the future I deserve.

  • Have a positive attitude.

  • Open my mind to the possibilities learning will provide for me.

  • Embrace each day as a new opportunity.

  • Never give up.

  • Influence those around me in a positive way, and be 

  • Xenial in all my interactions.

This year promises to be inspiring, with new programs and initiatives designed to enhance learning and support our diverse student body. I am eager to work alongside students, parents, and staff to build on our past successes and embrace the exciting opportunities ahead.

Thank you for your continued dedication and enthusiasm. Let’s make this year a Phenomenally Phoenix year, filled with learning, growth, and achievement. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas as we embark on this journey together.

We look forward to seeing you at Bookbinder Alternative Program, located at 56 Brooklawn Ave, Willingboro.
