Anxiety Awareness! We are excited to announce a special return visit from the Center for Resiliency!

🗓 March 4th
⏰ 7:00–8:00 PM
📍 High School Media Center

Join us for an engaging presentation focused on understanding and coping with anxiety. This program will provide practical tools and strategies to help children, teens, and parents better understand and manage anxiety.

We invite parents of children of all ages and students to attend. Anxiety affects everyone differently, and this session offers valuable insights and coping techniques that can benefit the whole family.

This event is open to all members of our community — please help us spread the word!
We look forward to seeing you there!

The River Dell Education Association is proud to work alongside River Dell families and community members to support access to healthy food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 🥕🍎. SNAP provides vital food-purchasing assistance to low- and no-income individuals, helping families maintain proper nutrition and overall health.

Through this initiative, RDEA members:
✔️ Coordinated donation collections
✔️ Learned about updated nutritional guidelines & sampled recipes that meet these guidelines
✔️ Shopped for matching donations as requested by the CFA

Together, the efforts of our association members resulted in 20 bags of much-needed food items delivered by our members to the Center for Food Action 💙 The River Dell Education Association looks forward to continuing our support of the CFA in the near future! Stay tuned for how you can further contribute!

This meaningful community impact was made possible thanks to NJEA grant funding secured by the River Dell Education Association. We’re proud to support our neighbors and strengthen our community, one bag at a time! 💪🛒
