Strength In Numbers!
Complete your 2020 Census
Let's do this together! The next census won't come around for another ten years! Census results have an impact on planning and funding for health clinics and highways, fire departments and disaster response, education programs such as Head Start and college tuition assistance, and so much!
Correct data can help in future situations like the one we are in! This is our one chance until 2030 to ensure that every New Jersey child gets the resources they need for a quality education. Additional information is available at census.nj.gov.
Roxbury Schools have been working to get the word out about the 2020 Census. Still not sure what the Census is? Then be sure to check out a quick video as well as our other resources on our U.S. Census page here.

"Both assistant trainers and members of the first aid squad drilled on how to properly remove players' jerseys, pads and helmets," he said. "They practiced moving the player into the correct position on a backboard."
Fischlein said the training is done each year "to make any game-day injuries move smoothly and in a timely manner to facilitate speedy care for the injured party."
The Gaels are scheduled to play their season-opener Friday at 7 p.m. in an away game against West Morris Central in Chester. Click here to read this coverage from TAPinto Roxbury.

Did you know...
Since 2016, the Roxbury Township Public Schools has been striving to become more sustainable and green in its policies and practices. The Board of Education and administration made the decision to pursue district sustainability and green initiatives by creating and approving policies and regulations outlining its position and efforts.
To that end, all seven schools in Roxbury Township attained Bronze certification through Sustainable Jersey for Schools in August 2018 and now we are striving to renew that certification and attain the next level, Silver! In this section, you will find various green initiatives, events, and tips to live a healthier, greener life. Click here for more information regarding our sustainability initiative.

Help us fill in our Community Asset Map
As part of our initiative to maintain Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification, we need to update our Community Asset Map. This is a collective inventory of the positive and valued aspects of a community by identifying the places, institutions, programs, and people that contribute to making our communities great places to learn and live.
Community assets can include information on local artists, scientists, and other experts, parks, local historic buildings, and green businesses, but can also include resources like cultural activities and events, arts, cultural and service organizations, social service agencies, and community organizations that are part of the great community context.
We've come up with over 700 businesses, restaurants, educational institutions, medical facilities, transportation hubs, and community organizations since 2018, but we need your help up in updating this list as we know things are ever changing.
Please take a few minutes and jot down a few places and/or groups that you can think of to help round out our list. Click here for more information regarding the Roxbury Community Asset Map and how you can tribute. |

Roxbury Clean Community Clean Up Day - Oct 24
After postponing last spring’s Roxbury Community Clean Up Day due to COVID-19, we are encouraging residents to help beautify our community on Saturday, October 24, 2020 beginning at 9:00 a.m., commencing at the DPW office located at 96 N. Dell Avenue, Kenvil, NJ (locations will be assigned). “Under the reign of COVID-19 our voluntary spring cleanup was cancelled so litter has been accumulating and growing undisturbed throughout town and it’s starting to show” commented Kellie Ann Keyes, Clean Communities Coordinator
Our cleanup day is socially-distanced, self-guided volunteer opportunity for individuals, residents, businesses and groups to work together to help clean up parks, trails, woodlands, roadsides, neighborhoods and waterways. The event is a great way to spend time outdoors, to pick up litter before it is covered with leaves and snow, stopping the debris from ending up in storm drains and waterways.
The day will start at 9:00 a.m. with *assignments and instructions. Assignments are given according to age and safety. Bags, gloves, vests, litter grabbers (while supplies last) and water to refill your re-useable water bottle will be provided. A free face covering will be offered (while supplies last). Most cleanups run for approximately two hours. *Travel may be necessary for certain locations assigned. Volunteers must sign a waiver to participate. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to sign up for this event! Volunteer for Community Service hours! To register, email keyesk@roxburynj.us or call 973-448-2053 for additional information. Mini-grants available for nonprofit organizations (first come, first serve basis). Pre-registration is required. Suggested areas for litter removal are also welcome. |

Lake Hopatcong - Upcoming annual drawdown
Starts Mid-November for 22"
The Lake Hopatcong Foundation / and Lake Hopatcong Commission has provided an update regarding the annual drawdown on Lake Hopatcong for this year. Starting on or about November 12th, 2020 depending on the lake level the water will be brought down 22" from its normal 9 foot ideal level.
Each year the water level on the lake is lowered to allow for waterfront maintenance and to protect private property from ice damage. The lake level is managed by Hopatcong State Park staff through adjustments in the four sluice gates at the dam within the park. This year, as per the water level management pilot program introduced in 2016, the lake will be lowered by 22 inches.
The date of the drawdown can vary by a few days depending on variations in water level from year to year, but generally it begins in mid-November with the goal of completing the drawdown by December 15th. Click here to read more about the Lake Hopatcong drawdown from Hopatcong Lake Regional News.

College Student from Roxbury Gets Scholarship for Overseas Study
A Roxbury resident attending Loyola University in Maryland was recently awarded a scholarship to help fund her plan to study in Greece, according to the university. The student, Mackenzie Shelley (RHS Class of 2018), is a junior at the school. The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship will support her “study abroad experiences for travel during spring or summer 2021,” said the university.
"While studying abroad, I am most looking forward to immersing myself in a new culture and meeting new people," said Shelley, who is a member of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA) and the Together for Down Syndrome Club (TFDS).
"Having this opportunity will help me in my future career as an auditory verbal therapist,” she said. “Being able to immerse myself in a different culture will help me become more competent and qualified to work with diverse groups of people as well as help widen my understanding of the world."

Coming to Roxbury on Election Day 2020: Polling Sites Without Voting Machines
Roxbury will have two polling locations on Election Day, but voting machines won't be there. The machines are among the many things erased from normal life in 2020 due to fear of spreading the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. The Election Day polling places-one at Roxbury Town Hall on Route 46 in Ledgewood and another at the Roxbury Senior Center at Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna - will be open Election Day but only for dropping off completed ballots, said Roxbury Mayor Bob DeFillippo.
He said all registered voters should receive those ballots by mail no later than Oct. 5. Voters do not have to wait until Election Day to submit their ballots and officials are encouraging voters to vote early. "Ballots may be returned by U.S. mail or dropped at the 10 Morris County ballot boxes located throughout the county, DeFillippo said. One of those 10 boxes will be situated in Roxbury Town Hall.
"While we encourage all voters to either return their ballot by U.S. mail or a drop-off box, residents who desire to vote in person will receive a post card that indicates their polling location (either Town Hall or the Senior Center), said the mayor.
The polling location for those who want to wait until Election Day to cast their ballots will be based on a voter's ward and district. All voters in Roxbury Ward 1 are assigned the polling place at Town Hall, as are voters in Ward 3 Districts 1 and 6.
All other voters are assigned to the Senior Center polling site, according to the county. The two sites will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day for ballot drop-off.
