 Letter from
the President
It’s September again, and we all know that means it’s time to go back to school! Welcome to all
the families that are new to Mountain Lakes. I hope you find the Home & School Association (H&SA)
a valuable ally in keeping you connected, involved and committed to enriching your family’s
experience in this wonderful community.
Be connected! Find out what’s happening in our schools and community. Visit our website at
mtnlakeshsa.org, read The Bulletin, and sign up for Virtual Backpack at virtualbackpack.org. We are
committed to facilitating communication among our schools, our community and our homes.

Be involved! There are many opportunities to volunteer and share your time and talent. In
The Bulletin, you will find volunteer forms for the schools and an abundance of activities and
fundraising events to participate in. We are always looking for new ideas and love to see new faces,
so, please contact your school chair or any H&SA board member and get involved!
Be committed! We rely on your annual support to fund many programs and publications, including
Student Directories and The Bulletin. Think how many times you’ll use The Bulletin this year to
check on what is happening in our schools and our community! For membership information, please
contact Elaine Boyle, Membership Chair, at mlhsamember@gmail.com. Join today!
As always, the fall will be busy for H&SA. Our first H&SA General Program meeting will be on
October 13, at 7:30 p.m. at MLHS. At the meeting, we will learn about the Long Range Education
Plan which has been under development for the past year.

This fall we will be bringing back two of our favorite fundraisers. The Annual H&SA Bake Sale will
begin with pre-orders taken in September and cooking and delivery in October. There are many
opportunities to participate in this event (which is my personal favorite!), most of which will just
take a few hours of your time. Our second fall fundraiser is Portraits by the Lake. Sitting
appointments are limited, and are on a first come first serve basis, so reserve soon. More information
on both of these events can be found in this issue of The Bulletin.

I’m looking forward to a very productive year. The 2009-10 H&SA board is a great combination of
old and new faces. I know we will come up with fun new ideas for programs, fundraisers and events
that will benefit both the schools and the community. I’m looking forward to seeing you at our
meetings and fundraisers, and hearing your feedback.

Thank you in advance for supporting the H&SA!

Elena Goldthwaite, President, H&SA

 H&SA ANNUAL BAKE
SALE NEEDS YOU!
Join the Fun and
Support the Schools ☺

It’s time to start thinking about our Bake Sale! Each year, by your
generosity and support, the Home & School Association is able to do
great things for our schools. All the money that is raised is given back to
the schools to fund worthy projects like the purchase of SmartBoards.
While you support this great cause, you will socialize with new and old
friends, enjoy a beautiful fall day while making deliveries and best of all,
share an easy homemade meal with your family.

How You Can Help:

Workshop Coordinator – The Workshop Coordinators are responsible

for overseeing 3 workshops. This includes following up with the hostess to
make sure everything needed for a successful workshop is in place and
making reminder calls to the volunteers signed up to cook.

Workshop Volunteer – Join a team of Lakers to make a dish.

Workshops normally start at 9 a.m. and require 3-4 hours of time. Don’t
worry if you can’t cook! You’ll be given a job that you can do and have a
great time in the process!

Delivery Volunteers – Volunteers will be given a set amount of food to

deliver in the afternoon, around 1-3 p.m.

Order Food – Choose several items for dinner that night or for the
freezer. We’ve got homemade soups, entrees, sauces and desserts.
Entrees are meant to feed approximately 4, and desserts feed 6. We’ve
got more variety than ever before so there’s truly something for everyone!

 BOARD OF EDUCATION
A M ESSAGE F ROM T HE S UPERINTENDENT

This has been a very busy, but productive summer around the district. I hope that
each of you and your families has found it enjoyable and restful.

Construction crews have been working throughout the summer on roofing

projects at the High School and Wildwood. This completed work has readied those
two buildings for the solar panels that we expect will be installed sometime this fall.

At Wildwood School, we have also prepared for our first year opening with a
camera security access on our front doors. While I realize that this will represent a
cultural change at our elementary school, we believe that this safety step far
outweighs any inconvenience that we may initially experience.

This summer there has also been a great deal of preparation, both on the State
and National level, to prepare for the H1N1 virus. I have attended and participated
in several conferences with other county superintendents and health officials to
discuss how we will plan our response to an upcoming vaccination program and the
advent of cases of H1N1 in our schools. Currently, the CDC is recommending
vaccination of all school age children in a voluntary program. A two-shot series,
separated by a 28-day period, will begin sometime in late October or early
November. Our public school buildings will be used as a distribution point for these
vaccination clinics and there is currently discussion of the best times for such shots
to be given.

On a very positive note, the CDC anticipates sufficient vaccine availability to

inoculate all at risk populations. Furthermore, the experience of H1N1, over the
past few months in southern hemisphere countries, has not demonstrated any
unusual mutations of the virus. Again, this year we will be using both our website
and our Parentlink Communication system for updating our community and
explaining our plans to limit the spread of this virus.

On a programmatic note, we have done the final edits of our 2009-2014 Long
Range Education Plan. We will hold a final, public meeting in September and hope
to have the Board of Education adopt the plan in October, consistent with our
original timeline.

I look forward to what should be an exciting and productive school year. Thank
you again for your continued support of our school programs.

Dr. John Kazmark, Superintendent

WILDWOOD LIBRARY OFFERS BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB
Celebrate your child’s birthday and support our school
library by joining our Birthday Book Club. With a $10
donation, your child will select a new book to be
placed in the library with a bookplate in their honor.
Book Club forms will be sent out this month or simply
send your child’s name, grade, homeroom and birth
date along with a $10 donation to the Wildwood
School Library, c/o Mrs. Muka.

SUMMER READING LOGS DUE IN LIBRARY

Wildwood students in 1st through 5th grade are reminded to turn in their summer
reading logs to the library by Friday, September 11. Please be sure to include your
name, grade, homeroom and parent’s signature. We will be recognizing all
participating students during our Summer Reading Assembly later this month.

P.E.A.K. News - Gifted and Talented/Enrichment

The Wildwood Mentorship Program: Welcome back! Once again this year, we will
be conducting fall mentorships for our Wildwood students in grades 2-4. We will be
recruiting students from M.L.H.S. as well as adult community members who are willing
to share their professions, expertise, experiences, talents and hobbies with our students.
This sharing may involve conducting a workshop, making a classroom presentation,
acting as a mentor for an individual or a small group of students in math, language arts,
science, etc. We will provide materials and training! If you are interested, please call
Lindsay Kielley at (973) 334-3609.
The ARC Program at Wildwood will begin the week of September 14. This program
enables students who have demonstrated high academic readiness to come out of their
regular classrooms and explore advanced concepts in reading and/or mathematics.
Because students will miss academic instruction in their regular classes, they must be
able to function independently at a very high level in order to be successful.
Fifth Grade Enrichment Clusters will begin in mid-October, and they will run
throughout the year. These clusters will meet during reinforcement period and are open
to all students. Students will be able to select a cluster based on their interests during
a homeroom period in mid-September. Some examples include the following: Stock
Market Game, Knowledge Masters, and Shake it up with Shakespeare.

A MESSAGE FROM THE
Wildwood Chairs
As back to school is upon us, we would like to welcome all the new families to
Wildwood. Hopefully everyone had a great summer and is ready for the school year!

Just a few updates for everyone:

The homeroom parents have been selected and are listed in this Bulletin - thank you
again to the volunteers. The homeroom parents will be contacting you to get your
contact information, and to coordinate the classroom parties. Please help out in the
class if you can - the kids appreciate it as do the homeroom parents.

Wildwood Chairs and Event Coordinators have also been listed - thank you so much
for volunteering as well.

If you feel that you would like to get involved, please feel free to sign up for as
many committees as you like - the more help we have the better! You can fill out
the volunteer form that has been sent in the Virtual Backpack, or that is in this
month’s issue of The Bulletin. If you are unsure of the job description of a particular
committee, you can contact the chairperson for more detail. Even a small amount
of time donated can be helpful.

A special thanks to Allison Fenton for her enormous contributions to Wildwood for
the last two years. Not only did Allison serve as chair and co-chair of Wildwood, she
has made huge improvements in streamlining our communication/contact records
at Wildwood. She had put many hours into making Wildwood a better place - thank
you Allison!

Please feel free to contact either Holly or myself throughout the school year if there
are questions you have, ideas you want to share - we would love to hear from you.

Dear Briarcliff Parents and Students,

Briarcliff would like to welcome Ms. Pia Vanderstreet as our new

Chorus and Strings teacher, Ms. Lindsey Paz as our new Spanish
teacher, and Mr. Chris Cayes as our 7th grade English maternity
leave teacher for Mrs. Dam who returns in February. Briarcliff
would also like to welcome back Mrs. Peifly who is returning to 6th
grade English from her leave of absence, Mr. Roger Schneider our
7th grade Social Studies maternity leave teacher for Mrs. Ebersole
who returns in October, and Mrs. Donna Lee Donelan our French
maternity leave teacher for Mrs. LaVerde who returns in January.
We look forward to the return of these faculty members and feel
very fortunate to have such excellent leave replacement teachers.

We have had a busy summer preparing for the new school year.
Many thanks to Mr. Robert Beevers, Ms. Le Lam, Mr. Mark Stritch,
and Mr. Art Mokray for their hard work in preparing the building for
opening.

Our Back to School Night is scheduled for Thursday, September 17

at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you then!

Wishing all a safe and restful remainder of the summer. We

anticipate another wonderful school year. Best wishes to all.

Sincerely,

A MESSAGE FROM THE
briarcliff Chairs
Welcome back Briarcliff Students, Parents, Teachers and Staff! We hope you had a
wonderful summer. Christine and I are looking forward to a great year and we have lots
of new things to be excited about. (Stay awake - this won’t always be so long!)
*Student Directory - Our target date is to have it distributed by Back to School Night.
Everyone must fill out a directory form annually. This new form is for all three schools.
Paying your annual H&SA dues entitles you to a directory. H&SA is similar to a PTA or PTO,
if you are new to town.

*H&SA - If you have not received a membership/directory form, please send us an email
at mlhsamember@gmail.com. Your annual dues cover all schools and help all the children.

*WE NEED YOU!!! - Volunteers help to make our TEAM complete. To find out what’s
available, see the enclosed form. Please fill it out asap. This is a good way to see your
child’s smiling face, so they won’t necessarily have to see ours.

*Virtual Backpack - If you are tired of feeling out of the loop and getting that blank stare
when you ask, “Why didn’t I know you had a concert?”, we now have the Virtual
Backpack!!! You can enroll by going to www.virtualbackpack.org . This great new vehicle
will eliminate most paper waste and be a more timely means to communicate. IT IS
AWESOME and available in all three schools. NO cost, just a click!
*Fundraisers - We will have three separate fundraisers this year centered around food,
since we all still need it! Our first one, starting immediately, will be the Joe Corbi’s Pizza
and Family Favorites. This will benefit the Briarcliff Fund for extras the school may need,
including Cultural Arts. The next two will benefit all three classes and go toward the 8th
Grade Boston trip. This is truly a highlight from the Middle School years but also a
costly one. We hope to keep the cost in check. The packets will be coming home, so please
keep an eye out. It’s great food for the busy fall evenings. Our next fundraiser will be
around the holidays and we will sell David’s Cookies.

DATES AND THINGS TO REMEMBER:

Sept. 7 – School closed for Labor Day Sept. 18 – 2 p.m. New Student Social
Sept. 8 – PEP sign-ups Sept. 28 – School closed for Yom Kippur
Sept. 17 – 7 p.m. Back to School Night

• Fill Out Directory Form • Enroll in the Virtual Backpack • Volunteer to help your child

Questions, concerns or ideas –contact us anytime. Welcome to all the new families!

FROM THE MAYOR
It is hard to believe that the summer is over and school is about to begin. I hope
everyone had a great summer and enjoyed all that the community has to offer. I
especially want to thank the Recreation Commission, Police Department, Mountain
Lakes Fire Department, Boonton Township Fire Department, Boonton Kiwanis
Ambulance Squad and Department of Public Works for a wonderful July 4th celebration.
The fireworks over Mountain Lakes are a tradition that generations of Lakers have
enjoyed and make for many fond childhood memories.

Shortly after our July 4th celebration, Borough Manager Joe Tempesta left Mountain
Lakes for an opportunity as the Borough Administrator in East Hanover. During Joe’s
brief tenure with Mountain Lakes, he proved to be a very capable Manager and realized
permanent savings in the administration of our Borough. We wish Joe and his family
all the best of luck.

As soon as Joe informed the Council of his decision to leave, the Council appointed
a Search Committee to begin the process of looking for our next Borough Manager.
There are a total of seven members on the Search Committee chaired by Councilman
George Jackson. The members of the committee are Deputy Mayor Charles Gormally,
Councilwoman Blair Schleicher-Bravo, Rainer Mimberg, Bud Luzzi, John Pendleton and
Art Muti. The committee posted the position on Borough and League websites and in
a municipal trade publication. They received and reviewed over 75 applications,
conducted eight interviews and continue to narrow the field of candidates through
interviews and reference checks. Based on the status to date, we should have a new
manager in place by early fall.

In addition to appointing a Search Committee, the Council named Police Chief Bob
Tovo the Interim Borough Manager. Chief Tovo has been performing the duties of both
the Police Chief and Borough Manager since July 9. Chief Tovo’s knowledge and
understanding of our community coupled with his dedication and hard work has made
this time of transition much easier to manage.

On behalf of the entire Council and the residents of the Borough, I want to thank
Chief Tovo for his continued service to our community.

I hope this update has been helpful. As always, your comments and feedback are
welcome. If you have any questions or comments I can be reached at (973) 263-8752
or shshaw@optonline.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

of the Shade Tree Commission
13. I HAVE SEEN MOUNDS OF MULCH AROUND TREES THROUGHOUT
TOWN. HOW DEEP SHOULD THE MULCH BE AROUND MY TREES AND
WHAT KIND OF MULCH IS BEST?
Mulch is useful for controlling weeds, retaining soil, protecting the roots and generally
increasing the health of the tree. It is best to mulch with wood chips or other coarse organic
material. Mulch should never touch the tree’s bark and never be piled higher than 3 to 4
inches deep. Mulch that is too deep or directly touching the trunk of the tree decreases the
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide which can lead to fungal and bacterial diseases.
Mulch should not be allowed to become compacted, and before any new is applied, should
be loosened and aerated. A properly mulched tree is surrounded by a “donut”, not a
“volcano”.

14. WHAT IS A BERM AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE HEALTH OF TREES?
A berm is a deep mound of earth used by landscapers to serve a specific purpose such as
privacy from a busy road. Berms can be detrimental to the health of an existing tree if the tree’s
roots are covered by a new berm. The root system may be deprived of oxygen and proper
water drainage. If a tree is planted in a berm, the roots will likely grow too shallow and put
the tree at a greater risk of blowing over.

20. MY HEMLOCK TREE APPEARS TO BE FAILING. WHAT CAN I DO?

The most common problem plaguing Hemlocks in our area is Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. This
piercing-sucking insect is tiny, dark brown and aphid like. It feeds on the plant causing it loss
of vitality and in time, death. The insect is identified by a white, cottony, sticky substance it
produces to protect itself and its eggs. This “woolly” substance covers the underside of the
tree’s outermost branch tips. This infestation is controllable through horticultural oil spray or
systemic treatments that can be administered by local tree services. Contact an arborist in our
area to evaluate your tree.

FLU CLINIC
The Borough of Mountain Lakes, at the recommendation of
the Health Commission, is offering flu shots to its residents
on Wednesday, September 30, 2009, in the Council
Chambers at the Borough Hall from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The cost will be $15 per person. Those desiring a flu shot should come to the
Borough Hall to pre-register and pre-pay by Friday, September 25, 2009 to reserve
a shot. Shots are available to any adult Borough resident, but are particularly
important for senior citizens and those with heart or lung disease.

Children between the ages of nine and 17 who have a medical reason to take the flu
shot or whose doctor desires them to have one may sign up for the clinic; however
parents must bring a written prescription from the doctor requesting that the
shot be given with them to the clinic. Shots will not be given to children
without the physician’s note. No shots will be given to children under the age of 9.
Contact your physician to obtain flu shots for children under the age of nine.

For questions, please call Michele at the Borough Hall (973) 334-3131. The vaccine
is limited, so reserve as soon as possible. Please note: no refunds will be given.

Helping Hands Program

Reach Out and Help a Child…All it Takes is
a Helping Hand
The Helping Hands program is a child safety initiative sponsored by the Home and
School Association with the cooperation and support of the Mountain Lakes Police
Department. Last year, the town had more than 80 Helping Hands signs scattered in
various neighborhoods. Children were instructed by parents and teachers to identify
the sign of a white hand against a blue background. This sign means that a child has
a place to go to seek protection and aid if they are in what they perceive to be a
dangerous or uncomfortable situation (getting lost; being hurt, bullied or otherwise
frightened; getting caught in a thunderstorm).

If you would like to participate in this program, please contact Andrea

McLaughlin at (973) 263-1786 for an application.

An updated list of Helping Hands homes will be published in an upcoming Bulletin.

Are YOU carrying

the Smartest Card?
September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Mountain Lakes Library wants to make
sure that all residents have the smartest card of all – a Mountain Lakes Library Card!
Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform
better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime
learning.
ALL Wildwood first graders will be visiting the Library with their class to receive their cards
in September. If you or your children, first grade and above, do not have cards, stop by
and sign-up! It is easy! And go online to our website to view the catalog, order books,
DVDs and audio books, and to use our online databases! Staff will be happy to help you
with online ordering! Ask for instructions, or staff will place requests for you.

Story Time starts on Tuesday, September 15, 2009

10am for 3 to 5 year olds - 11am for 1½ to 3 years
Friday, 11am for 1½ to 3 years
Please call the library to register or register online.
