Summary
Superintendent Dr. Paul Casarico told the Waldwick Board of Education that students will take part in MLK Week of Service projects with Habitat for Humanity, food banks, Valley Hospital and the Police Department’s Operation Assurance Program, praising staff and student engagement.
WALDWICK, N.J. — Superintendent Dr. Paul Casarico told the Waldwick Board of Education on Jan. 27 that students across the district will participate in an MLK Week of Service with several community partners.
Dr. Casarico said the planned activities include projects with Habitat for Humanity, local food banks, Valley Hospital and the Operation Assurance Program run with the Waldwick Police Department. He praised staff for creating applied learning opportunities: “I commend the students, Mr. Carroll and the high school staff for providing teachable moments outside of the daily curriculum and putting what they have learned and their abilities into practice and action,” he said.
The program, described at the board’s regular meeting, is intended to give students hands-on service experience tied to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, though the transcript did not specify exact dates, grade levels or the number of participating students. The superintendent’s remarks did not propose any board action or funding request; they were presented as informational.
Board members did not debate or vote on the MLK Week activities during the meeting. The district administration will be responsible for scheduling and coordinating the volunteer placements and any related communications to families, according to the presentation.
