PUBLIC BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING
 For the foreseeable future, the Roxbury Township Board of Education will be holding virtual board of education meetings to conduct Board business while schools are closed due to the health-related emergency COVID-19.
The virtual location of the Board of Education meetings will be published through the traditional means and outlets as well as being available on the district's website (www.roxbury.org) and in the Board of Education Office no less than 48 hours in advance. The district will make every effort to post the agenda for the meeting no later than 24 hours in advance for review and reference by members of the public. Similar to the in-person format of Board Meetings, members of the public will be provided an opportunity to make comments on both agenda and non-agenda items. All comments will be read into the record by the Board of Education President or designee announcing both the member of the public and his/her address as is customary to provide with comments. These comments will be submitted through the WebEx Chat Feature. In the event that additional information can be provided by a member of the Board or the Superintendent, it will be provided.
A recording of these meetings with video will be posted in the same way that the audio is posted for traditional, in-person meetings of the Board.
Roxbury's next Board of Education meeting will be Monday, April 27th at 6:00 p.m.
Prior to the start time of a meeting, please revisit
www.roxbury.org for a link to join the meeting.

#RoxStrong
Pizza Donation to Essential Workers
 In the spirit of Nixon's Early Act ideals, Kerry Hamberger, Early Act Advisor, donated five pizzas to Merry Heart Nursing Home. Principal Danielle Lynch offered to match that donation.
In talking more about the idea, Kerry and Principal Lynch thought they would open it up to all Nixon staff to see if anyone would like to contribute any money towards this gift of appreciation and Nixon School came out strong.
Earlier this week, 29 pizzas were delivered by Luigi's Pizza in Roxbury to the following groups of essential workers:
10 to the Merry Heart staff,
5 to the Roxbury Police Department,
2 to Sue and the staff @ NES,
2 to RHS Security,
2 to Roxbury Transportation,
2 to Roxbury Buildings and Grounds,
2 to Roxbury Tech Department, and
4 to Roxbury Social Services to be distributed to families in need.
Simply incredible! Thank you to everyone who contributed and in turn is helping to recognize those out in our community who are out there and supporting the elderly, our students, our families and all of us. A special thanks to Kerry as well for coordinating this effort and making the Early Act ideals come alive once again!

"We reached out to the community and within 12 hours we sold out of the 52 cookies that we had left. The community really stepped up to not only help our troop, but donate to our local first responders."
Earlier in the month, the troop held a similar drive. They reached out to the community and got 120 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies donated to the COVID nurses at Morristown Memorial.

Community Bulletin Board and News
Morris Habitat's virtual food drive to benefit Interfaith Food Pantry
Morris Habitat for Humanity is holding an old-fashioned food drive to benefit the
Interfaith Food Pantry the new social-distancing way: virtually.
The drive allows donors to see and shop online for the items they wish to donate, according to Habitat. For example, a $3.75 donation will buy a carton of milk, while $24 will purchase a six-pack of canned chicken. All food items are healthy choices and are delivered directly to the food pantry.
"This health crisis is now an economic crisis, and so many people have lost jobs and income making it difficult to afford basic needs like food," said Blair Schleicher Bravo, chief executive officer of Morris Habitat for Humanity, which is headquartered in Randolph Township.
"Our organization's focus has traditionally been on providing affordable homes, but now we're broadening our outreach because the need is so great to feed our communities."
The Interfaith Food Pantry is a non-denominational, non-profit organization headquartered in Morris Plains that helps families make ends meet by supplementing their monthly groceries.
The pantry is facing an unprecedented challenge, as demand picks up as more people find themselves out of work because of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that has forced states, including New Jersey, to issue stay-at-home orders and close all non-essential retail businesses.
To donate to the drive, click here.
'Fantastic' Results at Drive-Thru Pet Food Handout in Roxbury
 A drive-thru handout of pet food that took place April 17 was a big success, said Roxbury Animal Control Officer Sue Blanchard.
The event - where donated dog food and cat food was doled out to pet owners experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic - came just in time for some people, Blanchard said.
"There is such a need," she said. "People were so thankful. One resident was in tears because they got a call - while in line - that they lost their job because the business is closing."
The drive-thru was set up at the Roxbury Department of Public Works (DPW) site in Kenvil. Volunteers handed out food, and other pet necessities, donated by GreaterGood.org, Pet Goods of Roxbury, WDHA and many generous residents.
Recipients stayed in their vehicles as they were given the supplies, a system that "went fantastic" according to Blanchard.
Blanchard said residents of local municipalities should not hesitate to contact their local animal control officers if they can't afford food for pets during the coronavirus crisis. Click here to read more from TAPinto Roxbury.

Lake Hopatcong Veterans Cruise for 2020 - June 27
 The date has been set as Saturday, June 27th for the 5th Annual Veterans Cruise on Lake Hopatcong, and that means the scramble for seats has already started for this special tribute to our veterans - America's heroes.
Each year Lake Hopatcong Cruises honors our veterans from the lake's four border towns - Hopatcong, Jefferson, Mount Arlington, and Roxbury - with a two-hour complimentary cruise around the lake, and a special tribute is paid to the veterans throughout the cruise as residents line the bridges and docks with waving flags in honor of the service that they have provided to our country.
This event is extremely popular with the Veterans and will fill quickly, so please contact your appropriate town representative to have your name added to the list as soon as possible. Last year in Hopatcong the first-come-first-served list filled within days and overflowed into a long waiting list. Click here to read more from Hopatcong Lake Regional News.
Lake Hopatong Block Party will now be held on Oct. 10
 The annual Lake Hopatcong Block Party has been moved to Saturday, Oct. 10.

"We are now moving forward on rescheduling the Lake Hopatcong Block Party to Saturday, October 10, the day before the LHF Lake Loop, also at Hopatcong State Park," he said.
"For those who have already responded requesting a refund, those checks will be issued April 13 and put into the mail.
Thank you for being a part of the Lake Hopatcong Block Party, and please stay safe and healthy," he said. Click here to read this coverage from the Roxbury Register.
