“The Future Curriculum
of Our Schools”
 Letter from
the President
We made it through September! I hope that everyone had a smooth transition back to school. Many of us have
already attended our children’s Back to School Nights and have met the teachers and seen the classrooms. I’d
say we are in full swing! At the H&SA, we have been busy planning for the many programs, events and fundraisers
that we sponsor every year. Many of you have already volunteered your time and talent to help us throughout
the school year, and we look forward to even more participation from you, our membership! I’d like to highlight
some of our upcoming events and if something piques your interest, please contact an H&SA board member; we’d
love to have your help.

H&SA General Meeting Join us on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the MLHS Media Center to learn about
the “Future Curriculum of Our Schools”. Members of the Long Range Education Plan committee will explain, and
be available to answer your questions about, our new Five Year Education Plan.

H&SA Annual Bake Sale Our biggest and most fun fundraiser of the year is the Annual Bake Sale. The pre-
orders are in and the cooking has started. But don’t worry; it’s not too late to join in the fun! We are still looking
for volunteers to help cook and deliver during October and to help out with baking and manning the tables at
MLHS on Election Day. Contact our Bake Sale Chair, Jackie Bay, at jackiebay@optonline.net, if you’d like to help
out. If you have forgotten to pre-order, don’t worry, there will be baked goods and other yummy food available
at MLHS on Election Day. We look forward to seeing you there!

Wildwood Our Wildwood Team is very busy this month. The Cultural Arts Sally Foster Fundraiser is already
underway. Once again, the students will be selling gift wrap as well as gifts and edibles. The Cultural Arts program
relies solely on their fundraising profits, so try to support your favorite elementary student! The Wildwood Book
Festival will be October 19 through October 23; proceeds directly support the Wildwood library.

Briarcliff Briarcliff is kicking off their fundraising efforts with Corbi’s Family Favorites which offers pizzas, cookie
dough and dessert items. Proceeds from Corbi’s will support the Briarcliff Fund which will be used for “extras”
in Briarcliff, including Cultural Arts.

MLHS After much planning, the High School is very happy to offer their first School Store. It will be open a
couple of days a week to start out and will sell things from pencils to MLHS tee shirts. Be sure to check it out!
The H&SA is also proud to be a sponsor of “Our Big Read”, a community wide effort to support learning.

Membership Drive The H&SA membership drive is ongoing! We are happy to be able to provide The Bulletin
to the community, student directories to our membership and programming to both our students and families.
For membership information, please contact our Membership Chair, Elaine Boyle, at mlhsamember@gmail.com.
Thanks to all of our members for your continued support.

I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events. It’s all of your time and support that make the Home &
School Association such a wonderful organization!

 BOARD OF EDUCATION
A M ESSAGE F ROM T HE S UPERINTENDENT

Our new school year has gotten off to a wonderful start, with weather to match.
Summer work left our buildings in excellent shape and both student and staff
seemed to have returned with a high level of excitement.

As I noted in my September message, we anticipated change with the new camera

entry system at Wildwood school and I’m happy to say that this new safety
procedure has met with a very positive response. Now we are waiting for the
final work of the Morris County Improvement Authority to prepare for the addition
of solar panels on both the high school and Wildwood school. These should result
in a very positive result for our district.

One very significant change that I did not have an opportunity to mention in our
September’s Bulletin is the announcement by Bob Reid that he will retire as
Wildwood Principal. Bob has been an employee of the school district for 39 years,
and has served as a recreation director, coach, teacher and school principal. More
than one generation of students has grown under Bob’s tenure and their children
have had the benefit of his leadership as well. On a personal note, I have
tremendously enjoyed having Bob as a colleague and friend. His dedication to the
Mountain Lakes community and its children has been unwavering.

While finding a new Principal for Wildwood School will be a challenge, I am

certain that there will be no shortage of highly qualified candidates who will
actively pursue this position. To ensure that we have an adequate timeline to
complete this important process, I have personally committed to act as the Interim
Principal from January through July 1, 2010. Having served as the Principal of two
elementary schools, for a total of nine years earlier in my career, I must admit that
I am excited by the opportunity.

Our search and advertisement of this position will begin this month and the
interview process will continue into January with an anticipated hire date in the
spring. The new Principal will begin at Wildwood no later than July 1, 2010. This
should allow for a smooth transition. If you have any questions or concerns as
we undertake this important search, please don’t hesitate to contact me at
(973) 334-8280.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and our schools.

John Kazmark, Superintendent

 Lake Drive News
Students from the Lake Drive Program
have returned to learning with a
flourish! Classes are hopping, custodians
are mopping, teachers are teaching, and
no kids are screeching!
A new crop of music students are
beginning to learn an instrument this
fall. We have nine students beginning
recorder, seven learning guitar, two
learning autoharp, and one learning
piano. Soon everyone will be dancing to
their music!
Mrs. Maureen Butler is now a state
resource person for NJMEA, representing
students with special needs. This
involves being a point of contact for
music educators with questions about
special needs students, as well as
occasional writing for NJMEA's quarterly
journal, TEMPO.
At the high school level, the Junior
National Association of the Deaf had its
first meeting, conducted by president
Margo C. Other officers at this time
include Kiara S. as vice president and
Leslye K. as sergeant at arms. The club's
secretary and treasurer will be elected at
next month's meeting; only sophomores,
juniors, and seniors are eligible to run.
The proud club advisors this year are
Mrs. Ellen Buechner and Mrs. Karin
Kasper.
The Lake Drive Program at Mountain
Lakes High School had a wonderful
opportunity to see "Wicked" on
Broadway, in early October! The
performance was sign language
THE BULLETIN
interpreted for easy access to the very
clever song lyrics and dialogue. In
addition, the students were visited by a
deaf theater artist, sent by the Theater
Development Fund, in mid-September.
She taught the students about the
characters, plot, and relevant
educational themes of the show, to best
prepare them for the performance.
Games and other exercises ensured a
complete understanding of what to
expect in this dynamic and exciting
Broadway adventure. Students and
faculty enjoyed a memorable experience
that was filled with music and magic!
A former Lake Drive and Mountain Lakes
High School student, Daniel Di Donna, is
now a third year student at Gallaudet
University and a swimmer on the
Gallaudet swim team, following a very
successful career as a Laker swimmer.
He has earned his way to an extremely
high honor, that of representing the
United States in the Deaf Olympics in
Taipei, Taiwan! At the time of this
typing, Daniel has broken his personal
best in the 50 meter breast stroke, with
a 33.79! All of us who know Daniel
know him for his dedication, drive, and
motivation to succeed! Way to go,
Daniel!

THE BULLETIN
NEWS FROM THE NURSE
Important information regarding medication: It is
recommended that if your child is taking
medication, it should be given at home if possible.
If your child does need to have medication during
school (prescription OR over-the counter), New
Jersey State Law states that the school nurse cannot
dispense medication unless it is accompanied by a
parent's note AND a doctor's order indicating the
child's name, reason for the medication, the dosage
and time it should be given. If it is a prescription
medication, it must be in the properly labeled,
current container indicating name, dose and time
to be given. At the beginning of each school year, a
NEW doctor's order and a parent's note are
required. If you have any questions, please contact
the school nurse.
LEAVING SCHOOL EARLY?
MISSING SCHOOL?
Please call the school early in the morning if your
child will be out on any particular day OR if your
child will be arriving late to school on that day and
state the reason. Please come to the main office to
sign your child out and the office will call your child
from the classroom. Please DO NOT go directly to
your child's classroom. The Wildwood office
appreciates your cooperation and thanks you in
advance.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
The Mountain Lakes Volunteer Fire Department will
be coming to Wildwood during Fire Prevention
Week, October 12 through October 16.
VISITING THE CAFETERIA
AND PLAYGROUND
Parents are reminded to please be sure they sign in
at the main office and obtain a visitor's badge
whenever visiting our cafeteria or playground.
Although we certainly appreciate the many parents
who come to help us, it is important for school
safety for everyone to follow this procedure. Thank
you for your cooperation.

Most of the important dates and activities are
already listed. Be sure to consult the September
2009 to June 2010 calendar when planning your
family activities and vacations.
FIRST GRADE NEWS
We are very excited to welcome the first graders to
Wildwood. We are making new friends and learning
new responsibilities. All parents should read the first
grade handbook to assist their children with this
transition. Culminating our unit on making friends,
we all enjoyed a fruit friendship salad.
We look forward to our first field trip…..a walk to
the Mountain Lakes Public Library. Each child will
receive their own library card and learn all that the
library has to offer. All parents are welcome to join us.
It’s going to be a great year!
SECOND GRADE NEWS
The second grade had a wonderful start to the new
school year. Congratulations to everyone who
returned the summer reading log and received a
certificate. What great readers!
This month the students will begin a science unit
on weather. We will be studying the water cycle,
clouds, storms, seasons, climate and temperature.
THIRD GRADE NEWS
The third graders have had a great start to the new
school year. We want to welcome Mrs. Coffey back
to our third grade team. Math is off and running
with place value as the first unit.
This year third grade has a new science textbook
series. The language arts and social studies classes
are focusing on Native American tales and customs.
We look forward to building replicas of Native
American villages. They will be displayed outside
the library at the end of the month.
FOURTH GRADE NEWS
The fourth graders began the school year with an
introduction to Three Cups of Tea, as part of the
district-wide "Our Big Read”. We will continue this
project with reading, writing, discussion and
activities across the curriculum.
Susan Roth, the author/illustrator of Listen to the
Wind, will be visiting Wildwood and other district
schools on October 21, 2009.
Our trip to Sandy Hook with Mr. Keith was a great
success. This field trip enriches the study of the
environment, the ocean, New Jersey, and follow-up
language arts activities.

P.E.A.K. News - Gifted and Talented/Enrichment

The Wildwood Mentorship Program: Welcome back! Once again this year, we will be conducting
mentorships for our Wildwood students in grades 2-4. Students are recommended for mentorships by
their teachers, and the students who have been recommended for fall mentorships will be notified in
early October. We will be recruiting students from MLHS as well as adult community members who are
willing to share their professions, expertise, experiences, talents and hobbies with our students. This
sharing may involve conducting a workshop, making a classroom presentation, acting as a mentor for
an individual or a small group of students in math, language arts, science, etc. We will provide materials
and training! If you are interested, please call Lindsay Kielley at (973) 334-3609.
The ARC Program at Wildwood is underway. The ARC instructor, Mrs. Siddron, is located in Room 3,
across the hall from the front door of Wildwood. This program enables students who have demonstrated
high academic readiness to come out of their regular classrooms and explore advanced concepts in
reading and/or mathematics. Because students will miss academic instruction in their regular classes,
they must be able to function independently at a very high level in order to be successful.
Fifth Grade Enrichment Clusters will begin in early October, and will run throughout the year. These
clusters will meet during reinforcement period and are open to all students. Some examples include the
following: Stock Market Game, Knowledge Masters, and Shakespeare.

A MESSAGE FROM THE
Wildwood Chairs
Hopefully everyone is back in the routine of school - September can be quite the adjustment
after a leisurely summer! A huge "Thank You" to all of the people who made our transition easier
by donating their time: the homeroom parents, the chairs and co-chairs of all the activities that
go on at Wildwood, and to the numerous people who volunteered to be on those activity
committees throughout the year. This is why we live in this great town - so many people are
involved! Hopefully, you were all able to attend Back to School Night on September 24, and met
all the teachers and staff.
Did you happen to see the bulletin board decorated in the front lobby? An awesome job –
courtesy of Visual Arts Chairs, Marta Neuenhaus and Lauren Barnett. If you go a little further
down the hall, you will see the creative work of Kim Terhune for the birthday board – thanks Kim!
A very special thank you to Lili Weiss who has helped develop our homeroom and event
committee website. This was a tremendous undertaking and will make our volunteers' lives easier.
They will be able to get forms on-line and information to help make a parent's life easier as well!
Anyone can access it for a refresher on important dates that are coming up in Wildwood by going
to www.mtlakes.org/ww.
Thanks also to Andrea McLaughlin for giving a presentation to the children last month on Helping
Hands. Anyone interested in becoming a “helping hand” or learning more about this special
program should contact Andrea directly at ski14@optonline.net or at (973) 263-1786.
The New Parent Social that was held last month was a huge success - 33 new families have
registered at Wildwood this school year! Moving into a new town can be stressful - as many of
you know. Taking the time to make newcomers feel welcome is an essential part of who we are
- thank you for doing such a great job!
Make sure you visit the Wildwood Book Festival that will run from October 19 - October 23, 2009
– the kids love picking out the books they want to read.
Don't tell the children, but the first Popcorn Friday is October 16, 2009, with Family Bingo to
follow that night! We look forward to seeing you there!
Especially don't forget the Halloween parade! That is the event of the year - you can come in
costume too!
Happy fall!

attended workshops and is a necessity for all
parents and students in grades 10 through 12.

 F RO M T H E BO RO UG H
FROM THE MAYOR
As we settle into our fall routine of school, sports and enjoying the colors of the season,
I want to take a moment to update you on a few changes and initiatives underway in
the borough.
New Borough Manager
First, I want to welcome our new Borough Manager Barry R. Lewis, Jr. to Mountain
Lakes. In a unanimous vote at a special meeting in early September, the Borough
Council appointed Barry as our new Borough Manager. As I reported in my last Mayor’s
letter, the appointment was the culmination of a highly competitive search process in
which more than 75 candidates applied for the position. I want to thank Councilman
George Jackson and the other members of the Search Committee for conducting a
very through, efficient and professional search. They all spent countless hours working
to find the best person for the job.
Barry has extensive experience in municipal government. He received his law degree
from Florida State University in 1988. After graduating he practiced law in Florida and
New Jersey focusing primarily on local government law. In 1998, he became the
Township Administrator for Mine Hill. During his tenure he successfully obtained over
$12 million in grants to preserve about 300 acres of open space. He has extensive
experience in the administrative oversight of utilities and public beaches and controlled
costs by adopting innovative ways to deliver municipal services. In 2007, he became
the Borough Administrator for Spring Lake and has continued to control costs, find
grants, and share services with other communities. We look forward to him bringing
his expertise to benefit the residents of Mountain Lakes. Barry’s first day on the job will
be this Monday, October 5. If you find yourself in Borough Hall please take a moment
to personally welcome Barry to Mountain Lakes.
Sign Up for Broadcast Email
Second, as outlined in our goals for the year and in an effort to develop better more
efficient ways to communicate with residents, we have instituted a broadcast email
system. The system is intended to be used at the discretion of the Borough Manager
to disseminate information of a timely, urgent or emergency situation. We are currently
in the process of populating the database of email addresses. If you wish to receive
notices via the broadcast email system, send an email to borohall@mtnlakes.org
indicating your desire to have your address added to the database. We will be
monitoring and evaluating the use and benefits of this technology moving forward, so
you may notice some changes along the way.
Let’s go to the Video Tape
Third, if you are a frequent visitor to our recycling center, you have probably noticed the
ongoing abuse of the use of the recycling containers. Unfortunately, there is a
tremendous amount of material that is unsuitable for recycling that is being disposed
of in the containers. Not only is this against the recycling laws, it costs the taxpayers
a great deal of money when containers are returned from the collection facility due to
“contamination” from improper materials. Basically the containers are to be used for
mixed paper, bottles and cans and are marked accordingly. We also have areas

THE BULLETIN  PAGE 29

 F RO M T H E BO RO UG H
designated for leaves, brush, tires and batteries. The recycling center is for the use of
residents only and contractors are not permitted to use the facility. To combat the
misuse, we have installed several video surveillance cameras to monitor the area
around the clock. Anyone found to be improperly disposing of material or abusing any
area of our DPW facility will be identified and receive a summons. Complete
information on what is permitted at the yard can be found by clicking on “Solid
Waste/Recycling” on the Borough website, www.mtnlakes.org.
Halloween Safe Zones
Finally, I want to remind all citizens to have a safe and fun Halloween. One way to
ensure a safe Halloween is by participating in the Halloween Safe Zone Program
sponsored by our own Mountain Lakes Police Department. Candy donations are being
accepted at the Police Department and are distributed to homes in the Borough’s Safe
Zones. Please consider making a candy donation.
As always, your comments and feedback are welcome, I can be reached at (973) 263-
8752 or shshaw@optonline.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

of the Shade Tree Commission
16. WHAT ARE INVASIVE TREE SPECIES AND WHY ARE THEY A PROBLEM?
The two most common invasive tree species found in Mountain Lakes are the Norway Maple
and Ailanthus. These trees should not be planted because they displace native species and
crowd out new undergrowth.

17. WHAT TYPES OF TREES ARE BEST SUITED TO MOUNTAIN LAKES?

Native trees are best suited for any area. Some examples of trees native to northern New
Jersey are Red Maple, Silver Maple, Black Birch, River Birch, Hornbeam, Redbud, White Ash,
Sweet Gum, Tulip Poplar, Black Oak, Red Oak, Scarlet Oak and Chestnut Oak, to name a few.
Exhaustive lists are available on the internet.

18. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PLANT TREES WITH THEIR FUTURE GROWTH

IN MIND?
Trees are living things that have long life spans and definite growth patterns. Before planting
on our properties many considerations need to be taken into account.
How long can the tree be expected to live?
How tall or wide will it be when fully grown?
How fast does the tree grow?
Is the form or shape of the tree appropriate for the spot?
Will limbs block windows or will the tree be too close to a structure?
Will overhead wires impede growth?
Will the tree have the correct sun and moisture conditions for survival?
Is the tree deciduous or coniferous, (looses its leaves or evergreen)?
Is it flowering and does it produce fruit?
Talk with an arborist or knowledgeable landscape provider about specific tree species and how
they will best thrive in your yard.

Borough Dispatch
Borough Council Meeting August 24, 2009: On behalf of the Shared Services Task
Force, Dana Pogorzelski presented a draft Shared Services Survey to Borough Council.
When finalized, the town-wide survey will be mailed to residents to see which services
they would like the town to continue to provide, and which services they would allow
others to provide. Ms Pogorzelski collected the Council members’ written comments.
During the first week of October, the Task Force will make a final presentation on
shared services, which will also be posted on the Mountain Lakes website. The
Facilities Task Force presentation will also be re-posted online. After the final
presentation, the survey will be mailed to residents in October. Public comments were
heard. It was noted that Shared Services and the Borough Hall renovation are separate
issues and should be addressed as such. It was mentioned that a Medical Needs
Foundation fundraiser is being planned for June 2011. Due to the timing, Mayor Shaw
referred the event planners to the Mountain Lakes Centennial Committee.

Borough Council Meeting September 3, 2009: Borough Council held a special meeting
to address hiring a Borough Manager. During a closed Executive Session, council
members conducted the final interview with Barry Lewis, who was recommended by
the 8-member search committee. At 9:15, the meeting was opened to the public. The
search committee received 76 applications for the position and interviewed 10 of the
applicants. Mr. Lewis is an attorney who practiced municipal law and land use law for
10 years, and served as the Planning Board attorney for Pompton Lakes. He was the
town administrator for Mine Hill for 10 years, and has been the administrator in Spring
Lakes for the past 2 years. He has worked on shared services arrangements with
Police Depts., courts and construction services in both Mine Hill and Spring Lakes.
The Council voted unanimously to hire Mr. Lewis, who will begin his employment on
Oct. 5, 2009 at a salary of $130,000 per year. Public comments were heard, including
a suggestion that the Council adopt an open format for meetings to increase public
involvement and enhance discussion. The suggested format would allow residents 2
one-minute sessions to add comments related to issues as they arise. Mayor Shaw
agreed that the open format has merit, but the current format is necessary to prevent
an individual from monopolizing the meeting and impeding progress. Mr. Gormally
stated that the open format is ideal, but opens the Council to accusations of selectively
hearing input from the public. Mrs. Emr stated that the open format is more productive
and she would like to explore the idea of opening the floor at different times during
the discussions.

This Dispatch is compiled from League observers’ notes. For complete minutes see
the Borough website.
