The elementary school SCAs will be sponsoring pre-kindergarten workshops for children who will enter kindergarten in September 2016.
These workshops will be open to children who will be 5 years old before October 1, 2016. The purpose of these workshops is to give children the opportunity to meet their future classmates and to become familiar with the school environment. Parents are invited to stay for refreshments.
Workshops will be held at the four elementary schools from 10 to 11 a.m. on the following Saturdays: February 6, March 5, April 16, and May 7.
Parents who are interested should register in the school district they reside in. If you are not certain which district you belong in, call the Board Office at 973-571-2029. Registration begins on January 11, 2016.

I am so happy to see that a program started at FN Brown so many years ago with a few young mothers
continues to this day. I think we began around 1960.
We then went on throughout the elementary schools to
build and establish our elementary school libraries
ran and built by parents before we got one librarian for all four schools. Friendships were formed that
lasted a lifetime.
