This 4-minute read uses bulleted points to develop an analogy about how leading is a lot like driving. While geared towards educational leaders, the piece is really for anyone. Enjoy! #LeadershipMatters artfulscribbles.wordpress.com/2024/10/03/lea…


Our peer leaders and their leader (Mrs. Praschak) brought great energy and delicious food from Pequannock Deli to support our first responders. Police, fire, First Aid, OEM and more joined the celebration of community partnerships & appreciation. #PeqPantherPride #NockNation

In anticipation of the Week of Respect, PV hosted a First Responders lunch today to thank police, fire, and EMT services for all that they do to keep our community safe. Thank you for taking care of Pequannock Township! #peqpantherpride

September 11th is an incredibly important day for our nation, and perhaps more so for our region. So important to remember the brave Americans who ran towards the danger to help others, and all the families impacted by the events of that day. #NeverForget
