A Special Thanks to the Wanaque Haskell Education Foundation
A huge thank you to the Wanaque Haskell Education Foundation for their generous donation of LEGO kits! These hands-on learning tools will spark creativity and problem-solving for our students.

Given the significant financial challenges our district has faced over the past six years, community support and donations like these make a real difference in enriching our students’ experiences.
At Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, we celebrated Haskell student Dalia for her award-winning essay. Her proud parents, Wanaque VFW Commander Bob Tennant and Janet Hoeland, joined her, making it a truly special moment. Congratulations to Dalia on this outstanding achievement!
