Millburn Football Players Perform Community Service

Dear Dr. Miron,

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Jennifer Langan and I am the Executive Director at the Neighborhood Nursery School in Millburn.  On Sunday, August 23rd more than 15 Millburn High School Football players once again participated in a community service project at the Neighborhood House Nursery School in Millburn.  Whether it was painting the inside of a classroom, weeding in the community garden, or washing the large play equipment and school chairs, the boys were conscientious and polite.  The community service initiative was a huge success.  This project was arranged by Heidi Swanson,from the Football Booster Club and Rose Twombly, Executive Director of the United Way of Millburn-Short Hills.  It was a pleasure working with such fine young men.  Please see the list below for the specific students that participated.

AND DR MIRON'S RESPONSE BELOW:

Jennifer
Thanks for sharing this with me.  I literally can't keep track of all the many great things our students are doing outside the classroom.  We measure success in so many ways; however the character these and other students show are what I feel most proud.  We can't teach how to be a responsible citizens; fortunately, our entire community helps foster such actions.  These football players certainly went above and beyond the normal hopes for community service.  Thanks for taking the time to share this with me.
