Bag a Lunch, Help a Bunch
Our best-ever Bag a Lunch initiative wrapped up in October with a tremendous response from area schools, plus an especially profitable 5% Day at Whole Foods. Kudos to our top five teams: Edith A. Bogert Elementary School in Upper Saddle River, Northern Highlands Regional High School in Allendale, Robert Reynolds Primary School in Upper Saddle River, the Ho Ho Kus School and Hartz Mountain, the only corporate partner in the top-five.
A special shout-out to student (and super-star) Gabriella Raia, our #1 team leader who mobilized three schools and took her campaign to Facebook, launching the video here that helped net a combined $8,000 among the schools.
