Kevin Lyon, representing the East Rutherford PTA, gave a public comment update to the board. He said PTA membership stood at 230 as of May and summarized recent events including a well-attended “tricky tray,” field-day T-shirt contests and a teacher appreciation lunch on Cinco de Mayo. Lyon thanked volunteers, local businesses (named in his remarks: Habit Burger, Cake and Cone, Master Pizza, ShopRite) and school staff for their support and described upcoming activities including graduation lawn signs, music competitions and distribution of field-day shirts.
