We Are Proud of You Morris County Students!

That was the best halftime show I’ve ever seen! And I’m not just saying that as a bias mom. We are proud of all of you!

Super night (and secret) for Morris students

Students had to keep Super Bowl secret for months

Excerpt:

Caught in a blur of glaring lights, exploding fireworks and the thunderous applause of more than 80,000 fans, Chris Sopko of the Roxbury High School Marching Band joined about 1,400 students rushing off the MetLife Stadium field at the climax of the Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime spectacular.

“I can’t believe what I just did!” he said to friends as they basked in the glow of a once-in-a-lifetime experience — performing with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on one of the biggest prime-time stages in the world.

“It was absolutely unbelievable,” said Sara Cummings, drum major for the Morris Knolls High School Marching Band, who took advantage of a well-timed snow day Monday to rest from what was two months of anticipation, rehearsal and the strictest of gag orders about their adventure. “Being on the field to rehearse with Bruno Mars was one thing. It was totally another to do it with all those lights all around, and the roar of the crowd. It was just amazing.”

The day after the big game, Ed Argenziano, director of orchestras, percussion studies and compilation at Morris Knolls, was freed from his gag order and spoke to the Daily Record about his role in organizing band members and other students into a talent pool to fill out the halftime show for the first Super Bowl in New Jersey.

Alstede Family Registration for Highlands Harvest CSA Club

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. The basic idea of CSA farming is a cooperative relationship between the farmer and his customers. Based on an annual commitment to one another, community members provide a pre-season payment to purchase a “share” of the season’s harvest. The member then receives a weekly box of a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruit through the growing season, harvested at the peak of ripeness and flavor. You’ve heard of the benefits of buying local – now we’re offering you a great way to enjoy fruits and vegetables grown right here in Chester and have the opportunity to make an investment in these locally grown foods, which in turn helps to keep New Jersey green!
