HyunJu Kwak for Ridgewood Board of Education

Dear Ridgewood Community,
The pandemic-related challenges seem to be ever-morphing, but commitments by parents, teachers, administrators and the whole community to maintain scholastic excellence for our students remain steadfast. There is much work to be done to ensure that students and teachers are given the resources to excel as the school returns to normalcy. My goal, as always, is to advocate for the students of our district and work for the Ridgewood community at large, so that our crown jewel continues to shine and that the taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars are allocated effectively and efficiently. In order to stay on this mission, I am seeking re-election to the Board of Education this November 2nd.
In the words of Mr. Rogers, “We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say ‘It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.’ Then there are those who see the need and respond.” I feel deeply in my heart that this is my time to respond for Ridgewood and to keep working for the students and the community.
Thank you and please reach out to me at hjkwakforboe@gmail.com or message me for any questions and concerns.
Sincerely,
HyunJu Kwak

Ridgewood Back the Blue

117035798 10200402626651754 9156709973088477872 n
Good morning everyone!
I’m reaching out to our Ridgewood community on behalf of my children and all of the kids that look up to law enforcement. I think with all that has been going on in Ridgewood we have lost sight of the fact that the men and women in our Ridgewood Police Department are our friends and our neighbors. Our children go to school with their children, they have play dates and celebrate birthdays together. They wave to us from their driveways and shovel out our elderly neighbors. For those of us that grew up here these are the guys that we cheered for under the Friday night lights. Despite the hate and vitriol that has surrounded this town I know many among us want to show our appreciation and our support.. that’s where I come in!
Starting this Wednesday through next Wednesday I will have a drop box on my front step for those that want to drop off notes of encouragement and thanks for our men and women in blue. The more cards the better! Make it a family project and have the kids make cards of their own! Next week I will gather the cards with my kids and we will deliver them with special treats as a way to show our police officers that this town still appreciates them!
Feel free to share so we can spread the word!
Thanks everyone!
Erin Leigh Yates
