Trick-or-Treat!

Cardinals, don't forget to stop by tonight's Trunk-or-Treat event, sponsored again by the Lawrence Township Police Department! And while you're in the Halloween spirit, be sure to come out on Monday night for our 3rd annual Haunted High! The "haunt" will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is guaranteed to be a spine-tingling, hair-raising evening. More details are below under "What's Coming Up."

Helping Hands
Interact, International Alliance, and the Library Club collaborated with other area organizations and the community to host a Hurricane Relief Drive to benefit Anguilla, St. Maarten, and Puerto Rico. Students volunteered their time to collect donations of personal items, school supplies, canned goods, cleaning supplies, baby food, and more. Together with The Sons and Daughters of Anguilla, we were able to send thirteen 75-gallon barrels of relief to those in need!
Thank you to all who lent a helping hand (or two)!
