Wayne Valley High School Juniors, Sydney Betz and Emily Bolson volunteered to help over 50 Passaic County senior citizens find Covid-19 vaccine appointments. They actively sought out people who needed a vaccine by advertising their services to over 30 churches, civic groups and synagogues in Passaic County.
They were first alerted to the issue of booking vaccine appointments when they both tried booking appointments for their grandparents and had difficulty securing them. After weeks of trying and finally getting them appointments, they decided to use their new found skill in helping those in need find their vaccine appointments.
If you are eligible for the vaccine and need assistance in getting an appointment, contact Sydney and Emily at WVVaccinesAssistanceProgram@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name, address, date of birth and phone number.
They were recently interviewed and featured in NorthJersey.com by Philip DeVencentis. Their story can be found by clicking here.
Community Circle Project
Community Circle Project
Packanack Elementary School participated in a community activism project during Black History Month. Students worked with Mrs. Muhlnickel, Media Specialist, Mrs. Reszka, School Counselor and Ms. Gorab, Art Teacher on this school wide project. Kindergarten through second grade read the book, Say Something by Peter H. Reynolds. This book shares a wonderful message of how the world needs us to say something through our creativity, words or actions in order to inspire others in a positive way. Third through fifth grade read the book, One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia by Miranda Paul. This book shares a touching true story of how a young African woman inspired her community to join her in recycling plastic bags that were polluting her community.
After reading these books, all students participated in a discussion of the importance of supporting our community and how we can all do our part to create big change. Students and staff then created their own community circle reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”. The students and staff enjoyed doing their small part to help inspire others. The Community Circle Project is displayed near the main entrance of Packanack.
