Hello Students and Parents,

My name is Jeremy McCabe and I am a 7th grader at Eisenhower Middle School. In June I will be going through my Bar Mitzvah which is a Jewish ceremony to become a full member of the Jewish Community. One of the requirements that I have is to do a Mitzvah Project which is where I do good deeds for my community. For my project I have chosen to focus on hunger in New Jersey and am working with NourishNJ out of Morristown.

NourishNJ has a program called the Rise and Shine Breakfast Bag program. This is where they provide a nutritious breakfast for local children in need. I am collecting donations of specific items for these breakfast bags and could use your help. There will be a place for donations in the lobby for the items until Friday April 29th.

Here is a list of the items they need:

• Small boxes of cereal (they ask for non-sugar cereal)

• Boxes of shelf stable milk like Parmalat

• 100% fruit juice boxes or small bottles of water

• Granola bars

• Fruit Cups

Thank you for your help,

Jeremy McCabe

Thank you to everyone who came out on Wednesday night to participate in our Title 1 Community Partners Event! It was awesome to see so many families making connections with our local organizations! And thank you to Mrs. McInnes and Mrs. Manney for organizing such a great event, to Maschio's for preparing the delicious dinner, and to Cliff's Ice Cream for the yummy frozen dessert!

Be sure to ask your children about what they learned during our Clean Communities assembly with Mr. Bill!

Our goal is to help children develop skills and strategies that will help them learn and establish a foundation for lifelong success in education. The program allows more time for students to address curriculum in depth and allows teachers to provide additional activities in learning.

To register for Kindergarten, parents will need to complete the online pre-registration process and begin uploading the required documents for Kindergarten. For a complete list of what to do and what to bring, visit www.roxbury.org/KindergartenRegistration.

Online registration for Kindergarten is now open. Parents are required to register their child at their home school.
