MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Welcome to March! This year is going by fast already and hopefully the weather will start to warm up and we can put the cold behind us.

I had the distinct pleasure of participating, as I have in years prior, in “Read Across America”. This year, I read with the kids at Grissom Elementary School and Carpenter Elementary School. I also read to the first-grade classes of Memorial Elementary and McDivitt Elementary Schools at our monthly gathering. It’s a great feeling to see kids so excited about reading and learning, and our teachers and educators should be recognized for their hard work to ensure that their students are getting a great education.

Mayor Owen Henry

I am proud this month to recognize and thank the Kiwanis K-Kids Club from James McDivitt Elementary School for sharing the proceeds from their used book drive with the Old Bridge Food Bank. Each year, the K-Kids Club, under the supervision of School Counselor, Phyllis Bloom, works hard to raise money in support of the Old Bridge Community.

Please remember to take a look at the Spring edition of our Parks and Recreation Brochure for all of this season’s events and programs. I encourage you to check out the town’s website for all the information and details on youth sports, summer camp, and classes that might be just right for you, your family, and friends.

The month of March is Women’s History Month. This is the time to reflect, celebrate and acknowledge women’s contributions to our history, culture, and society. We thank you for your hard work and commend your accomplishments, both historical and contemporary.

I wish all our residents a great month and don’t forget to turn your clocks forward on Sunday, March 12th. Lastly, I wish you all lots of cheer, luck, and Irish blessings this Saint Patrick’s Day! Please continue to stay safe and be well. Thank you.
