Thirty turkeys and the fixings were distributed to local families who need a helping hand this Thanksgiving. The collection was coordinated by the Memorial School Student Council, Charles Olbon School, and Beatrice Gilmore School together with donations from generous families of Woodland Park.
Charles Olbon recently held a school-wide professional learning community meeting, where the staff learned how to incorporate movement throughout the day. Physical education teacher, Mr. Volpe presented the in-service workshop to staff, engaging them in activities that blend academics and physical activity into educational lessons that support an active learning environment.
Passaic Valley Regional High School (PV) hosted its fourth annual day of development on Nov. 6, uniting all teaching professionals from PV High School and each of its feeder public schools from Little Falls, Woodland Park and Totowa.
