River Edge Schools Reach Out
On September 15th, the Roosevelt and Cherry Hill PTO's, Superintendent, Dr. Ben-Dov, the Board of Education, River Edge Mayor, Mr. Edward Mignone, and the town Council sponsored a welcome reception and greeted families at a grand reception in Memorial Park. All who attended celebrated our town and participated in various activities. The day included food, entertainment, information and networking opportunities for residents. Many families and teachers attended the sponsored event, and it was a great success!
Later this fall, River Edge Day was held. Many residents attended and there were refreshments, free raffles prizes from our local businesses and organizations, family activities and games, vendors, clowns, giveaways, displays and demonstrations were set up throughout the park. Teachers from the River Edge Education Association sponsored a table and handed out stickers and prizes to students as they came to the table.
Both events joined River Edge Schools with the River Edge Community and were huge successes!
