PIONEER SPIRIT:

Thank you to our New Providence Police Department and our Salt Brook School community for partnering in the NPPD Toys for Tots program. Hundreds of wonderful presents for children in need were donated and collected.  It is so wonderful to see these heartwarming community partnerships engaging our students in meaningful ways of helping others, working together, and giving back to the community. Thank you to all who organized, supported, donated, and participated. Pioneer Spirit at its finest! We are STRONGER TOGETHER!

Stay safe, keep well, and be strong. Enjoy the rest of weekend! Pioneer Strong!

– Mayor Al Morgan
