A Taste of Fall at the Farmers Market
Today, students in grades PreK through 8th were treated to our annual Farmers Market. Showcased were fall vegetables such as peppers, fresh corn, potatoes, squash, onions, and kale and the harvest fruit of juicy apples. After picking two vegetables and an apple of their choice, each student enjoyed a cup of apple cider while discussing what fun events the fall will bring.
 
Thank you to the HSA for their hard work and for hosting this wonderful event!
 
The Food Truck Festival Is Tonight!

Social Outreach Halloween Costume Drive
Have Halloween costumes that no longer fit your little superheroes, ghosts, and wizards?
 
For many children, Halloween costumes often don’t make the list of essentials in the family budget. Help Jersey Cares bring imaginations and magic to life for children living in New Jersey by donating new and gently-used Halloween costumes.
 
Donations will be accepted through Wednesday, October 18 in the collection bin in the SRLA foyer:
  • New or gently-used costumes for children ages 0-14 (nothing stained or torn, please!)
  • Halloween masks
  • Costume accessories (such as wands, wings, capes)
  • Unused Halloween face make-up
  • Candy pails or treat bags
 
Thank you so much for your support!
