Thank You Newark Police Department, Students and Parents!

The H.E.A.R.T. Martial Arts class brought in the New Year with a little house cleaning and a bit of fun.

Several students, parents and Sensei Jim took the time to clean the Newark Police Academy gymnasium making a "clean" start for the New Year! We cannot thank all the Officers at the Academy enough for all that they do. Additionally, I want to thank everyone who helped with the cleaning.

A special THANK YOU! to:

Chief Coley
Lieutenant MacPhee
Lieutenant Robertella
Sergeant Ramirez
The entire Newark Police Department
The Explorers Club
All the Students and Parents

Citizen Schools 2011 Fall WOW!

The H.E.A.R.T. Martial Arts class and Citizen Schools students put together an incredible WOW! for all the parents and students to enjoy at the Newark Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School.

The WOW! showcased the students' various volunteer accomplishments over the course of the 2011 Fall semester. Among their many volunteer objectives the students did a great job creating handmade toys for the animals at the Jersey Animal Coalition. If this were not enough, the class worked together as a team to make a BIG difference for the residents at the Sierra House (a local women's shelter located in East Orange) collecting and packing various clothes and household items.

Many thanks to all of the Citizen Schools Staff members that helped as well!
