Ridgewood NJ, Congratulations to the seven RHS Applied Engineering invent teams whose projects made it to the New Jersey STEAM Tank regional competition to be held on March 14th at Liberty Science Center. All of the projects were inspired by the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams program, which is being piloted with the club this year. The goal is for students to design innovative, technological solutions to real-world problems.

“While New Jersey is currently one of the ‘Most Educated States’ in the nation, our outmigration problem many put this notable statistic at risk in the future. Many high school graduates choose to attend college outside of New Jersey. Once these students leave, many never return to New Jersey to help build our workforce, support their families, or contribute to our communities. This is because our state is simply too expensive.
“This ‘brain drain’ really hurts our state, and it’s something we must understand better if we are to counter it successfully. My bipartisan legislation to study this outmigration pattern passed the New Jersey Senate last year.
“After investing so much to educate our next generation in grade and high school, it would be a real boost to have more of our talented high school graduates plant roots at home in the Garden State.
“A culture that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship attracts businesses and creates jobs. Raising taxes will not create that culture. Lowering costs across the board – for students, for families, for businesses, and for retirees – will make New Jersey more competitive. Healthy competition spurs the best innovation, leading to economic growth and job creation for generations to come.”

Ridgewood NJ, according to Professional Sports Field Services, “Flood water can destroy the performance of a turf athletic field in a single event. Not that will occur everytime, but the potential is always there.
Thorough and proper planning for the site would have prevented a flood event in the first place. If a flood plane is the chosen site to install a turf field, then some form of mitigation or divergence would be appropriate if allowed by regulating agencies. If not, relocating the field, using natural grass, or some other alternative would be wise. Of course if you are reading this article, then it’s too late for the planning part isn’t it?”

Does your kid or teen’s bedroom need a makeover? Much the same as grown-ups, kids need an agreeable, practical bedroom that is a joy to withdraw to toward the day’s end. While many brightening tips are pertinent to both the main bedroom, bathroom, and the child’s room, a couple of stunts are generally valuable with the younger set.
If your kid’s essay isn’t completed and you need assistance, then you can get in touch with some online services like write my essay. They are very professional in their domain.

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood High School went from #7 in 2008 (Dr.Fishbein took over that year) to #36 in 2018. He says the drop is because we have high academic standards, not because quality has declined. I don’t get that nonlinear explanation – sorry. Someone remind him that ranking is a relative measurement, not absolute.
East Rutherford NJ, Ridgewood emerged victorious Friday night at MetLife Stadium over Union in a 41-37 stunner. In one of the most exciting games of the year, the Maroons outlasted five different lead changes in a wild finish scoring 22 points in the fourth quarter and rallied back from a 12-point deficit at the half.
At the October 7th BOE meeting, Mr.Morgan and Ms.Brogan were busy bashing NJ Monthly’s high school ranking methodology. They didn’t do sufficient research because that ranking is weighted heavily on several factors related to academics. Most other factors get minor weights. RHS has fallen to 36th because of AP related factors. (For an AB comparison, Glen Rock ranked 2nd. This negates any major influences of demographics or magnate school inclusion.)
