National Art Honor Society Leaves Mark at RHS
 The Roxbury High School National Art Honor Society recently completed a Lady Liberty Flag mural that was installed in the History/Social Studies hallway at Roxbury High School.
"It all began at the end of the last school year with the supervisor of those departments looking for something to fill the space near the plaques and memorial that were relocated there from the main lobby," explained Nancy Valenta, Visual Arts Teacher and NAHS Advisor at the school.
Adding, "After researching images and some discussion between myself, members of the NAHS art club, and then supervisor Patti Sikorski, we decided on a final image."
Many students from the club worked on the project with the club officers taking charge. Juniors James Sullivan, Michelle Lad, Rebecca Weng, and Hannah Rohn were responsible for most of the painting, adding the details and finishing touches to Lady Liberty.

Roxbury's Indoor Percussion Competes in Upcoming Shows
 The Roxbury Indoor Percussion is in its fourth competitive season with their largest group yet! Thirty students have put together elements of music, movement, and choreography.
This year's show, entitled "The Darkness," features original music and arrangements by David Reeves. The show is based on the moment when the human spirit has the veil of darkness thrust upon them - thriving in all that is destructive and despaired. Introduced, tempted, and finally engulfed into the only world they have ever known.
The group will be competing in two more shows on Saturday, March 31st at Old Bridge High School and Sunday, April 8th at South Brunswick High School in their championships!
Come check out Roxbury Indoor Percussion's Friends and Family Championship Sendoff Performance on Saturday, April 7th at 3 p.m. in the Roxbury High School gym located at 1 Bryant Drive in Succasunna. It will be the final performance before their 2018 Championship.

Nixon School Students Help to Make Roxbury History
 Nixon School students were visited by members of the Landing Gateway and Streetscaping Committee on Monday, March 26th. Those members included Mayor Crowley, Mr. Kane, the President of the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum, and Mr. Potillo, Resident and Nixon School Parent Alumni. Together these individuals provided the second, third, and fourth graders with an overview of Lake Hopatcong's history. They also shared with the students how they could become a part of that history.
Over the next two years, the bridge leading to the southern tip of the lake on Landing Road is being replaced with a new one. The Landing Gateway and Streetscaping Committee is charged with collaborating and contributing ideas of the new look for that part of Landing. A new bridge, new streetscaping, new green areas, new benches, a gazebo, and public docks will all come together to offer a new look to this scenic area and park.
At this time, Roxbury's newest park does not have a name; however, the Nixon School second, third, and fourth graders have been asked to help with this very important task. The Roxbury Town Council has approved three names for this new park. The task before Nixon School students is to vote on these names and to submit the name with the most votes to the Town Council for acceptance. The vote will take place on April 6th and it is anticipated that the name will be recommended to the Town Council at its April 10th meeting.

Roxbury Lacrosse Teams Start Seasons With Victories
 The Roxbury High school lacrosse teams got off to good starts Wednesday as both the boys and the girls defeated their opponents.
Ladies first: Although it wasn't a snowy opening day for the girls, it started as a rocky one. The Gaels, playing away at Morris Catholic, trailed in the first half 4-0 until they got their first goal of the season, a shot by Kendall Torpin that found the net.
By the end of the half, the score was 6-4 in favor of Morris Catholic. But Roxbury - following a successful but soft preseason - showed true grit and rallied in the second half to score seven points and win the game 11-9.
The boys squad had an easier time of it, soundly trouncing Vernon 10-3 at Vernon. Click here to read more game details from Tap Into Roxbury. Click here to read more Boys Lacrosse details from NJ.com. Click here to read additional Girls Lacrosse details from NJ.com.

With Big Games Coming to Roxbury, USA Fistball Offers Coach Lessons
 Being that Roxbury is going to be the
host town for the 2018 U18 World Fistball Championships this summer, the organizers are hoping more young people give the obscure sport a try.
Toward that end, the United States Fistball Association is offering seminars to local coaches, athletic directors and educators.
The seminars will take place July 13 and July 14 during the big tournament.
The championship games are scheduled to happen July 11 through July 15 at Horseshoe Lake park in Succasunna. U18 men's and women's national fistball teams from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Brazil, Chile, Italy, New Zealand and India will compete in the international tournament.
The seminars will begin, on July 13, with a 9 a.m. to noon session on "basic practical training measures." At 2 p.m. participants will go to the fields to watch the games being played, said the USFA. Click here to read more from Tap Into Roxbury.
U.S. Fistball Recruiting Players for World Championship Coming to Roxbury
 The United States Fistball Association is looking for young men and women under the age of 18 who are interested in competing as part of the U.S. National Team, said U.S. Fistball Association President Bob Feid.
With fistball's similarity to volleyball, athletes experienced in volleyball are well-suited and able to learn the technique and rules very quickly. However, anyone under 18 interested in participating is welcome.
Tryouts are being held at the Roxbury High School gym, 1 Bryant Dr, Succasunna, with indoor practices continuing until spring when they move outdoor to the Swim and Sport Club on Emmans Road, also in Roxbury.

Roxbury Arts Alliance Presents War of the Worlds Radio Show - Apr 7
 Set in Grover Mills, NJ, the play is a loose adaptation of the H. G. Wells classic.
The simulated "news bulletins" of the original broadcast suggested to many contemporaneous listeners
that an actual alien invasion was currently in progress and, as a result, there were instances of
panicked evacuation throughout the US, especially in New Jersey! Do you ever wish you had been
beside the players of the Mercury Theatre when they first performed War of the Worlds live on air
and spread panic to the listening audience? The performance raised outrage in the general public
in the 1930s and also raised the profile of the theatre's director, Orson Welles. The radio play features
real actors wearing period costumes, theatrical lighting and the show includes
vintage commercials and even hundreds of sound effects!
Tickets for General Admission are $20 tickets and available online, RAA Members $15* (*Members need to call or email to reserve at this price. Tickets available at the door if not already sold out.) For ticket information call (862) 219-1379 or go online at www.roxburyartsalliance.org. Click here for more information in our virtual backpack!
