Oct. 4, 2024-- Last week, Harry Staples-- the district's do-it-all driver/maintenance lead/fixer of various things-- drove to Tinton Falls to pick up 280 drawstring bags filled with 1,640 teen hygiene items, courtesy of the United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Those bags were then delivered to each of the district's six secondary schools, where they were stocked within school pantries or stores, held at nurses' offices (right), and generally made available to anyone who might need one.

It was yet another example of the support and partnership of UWMOC, which provided the teen hygiene bags last year, and also donates warm coats to students and funds several of the district's most popular and impactful CTE programs. Thank you, United Way!
