Cool customers
Sept. 19, 2025- Assistant Superintendent Cara DiMeo (above right, holding sign) and Intermediate North guidance counselor Dana Marquis (above left, holding sign) dropped by the Rt. 37 Staples Toms River store this afternoon to join Dianna Hoyt (far right, holding backpack) and her Staples colleagues to celebrate receiving boxes of donations from the store. The school supplies— pencils, notepads, bookbags, and more— were not, Hoyt noted, donations from corporate, but from actual store customers who wanted to make the start of the school year a little bit easier and more exciting for students. The sign being held up certainly rings true, then: Staples— and its customers— really do love Toms River School District ... and we love them right back!
