National Wear Red Day, February 2, 2018 (American Heart Association)
Thank you to all students, faculty and staff for supporting the American Heart Association over the last 3 weeks for National Wear Red Day! Due to the generosity of our school community, Brookside was able to raise $657 for this wonderful cause!
The students showed a lot of enthusiasm and excitement over the last 3 weeks and were excited to see the graph grow each day showing how much we raised each day. Students also learned basic information about heart disease, warning signs of a heart attack and stroke and what they could do if they recognized any of these signs.
As a child, they can help too by shouting for help, getting an adult or calling 911. In addition, each class watched a video about how the heart works and participated in a heart healthy activity.
Thank you again for this great accomplishment!

National-level speaker: Dr. William Deresiewicz
Each year the various school districts of the Pascack Valley, including Westwood Regional Schools, join forces to bring a national-level speaker to our community. This year, we are proud to welcome Dr. William Deresiewicz, author of "Excellent Sheep,” as he offers his unique and important perspective on what a quality education is, the purpose of schools, and how your child can be best prepared for a changing and unpredictable world.
The keynote address, followed by a book signing, will take place Tuesday, February 6, 2018, at 7pm in the Pascack Valley High School auditorium. All members of the community --parents, students, educators -- are encouraged to attend this event.
