March Madness Food & Fun Day

The Rutherford Education Association’s (REA) March Madness Food & Fun Day will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2024 and will, once again, benefit the Rutherford Food Pantry. The inclement weather date is March 23rd. The event will be held at the Pierrepont School gym, located at 70 E. Pierrepont Avenue, Rutherford, NJ, and will be staffed by members of the REA. The price of admission is 2 items for the Rutherford Food Pantry per adult, and 1 item per child. For information, please contact Maria De Trizio at 201-438-7675, Ext. 4603 or mdetrizio@rutherfordschools.org.

This event is a Pride in Public Education activity carried out by the REA. Volunteering to organize this event is one of the many ways that Rutherford School District employees give back to the Rutherford community. Last year, this event was attended by over 700 residents of Rutherford and the surrounding communities. The association was able to collect over 66 boxes of items for the food pantry in addition to monetary donations.

The event will feature entertainment, which will include a balloonist, carnival games, and a magic show. Various activities will also be available, including arts and crafts and jewelry making. There will also be demonstrations of work completed by students in a variety of academic subjects.   

The Rutherford Education Association is an affiliate of the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) and represents the teachers, nurses, librarians, guidance counselors, child study team members, student assistance coordinators, custodians, bus drivers, secretaries, and support staff of the Rutherford School District. Rutherford PRIDE is an ongoing campaign created to share the education successes of the Rutherford School District with all Rutherford residents and build strong community support for and involvement in our great public schools.
