BOE GETS $500K BOOSTER SHOT FROM VALLEY FOR STUDENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMMING
Ridgewood NJ, The Valley Hospital has pledged to donate $500,000, payable over five years, to the Ridgewood Public Schools. The donation will support both new and existing initiatives in the areas of health education, fitness and wellness, and disease prevention programs aimed at raising awareness and promoting the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to Ridgewood students, faculty and their families. Examples to be considered include adolescent health and wellness education, diabetes education, injury prevention, and nutrition.
“We truly appreciate Valley’s generosity with this five-year grant,” said Sheila Brogan, Ridgewood Board of Education President. “The Valley Hospital has long been a good neighbor to the Ridgewood Public Schools and a valuable partner in several programs that support the district’s mission of excellence. The Ridgewood Academy for the Health Professions, ongoing classroom speaker series and funding of special projects through the Ridgewood Education Foundation are but a few examples of our ongoing and successful relationship with Valley. Their continued support through this grant will enable us to continue our mutual commitment to the health and wellness of our students.”
Gosh — what a really good neighbor they are. Reminds me of the time I ran into them on the crowded steps of GW Middle School a couple of summers ago……
I remember The Gantlet at GW too….but not fondly.
All will be revealed in good time. Money is actually going to pay for the lights at Stadium field.
Blood money.
Just say “no”.
