Volunteers Bring Colorful Words of Inspiration to a Roxbury School's Bathrooms
 Volunteers recently turned four bathrooms at Roxbury's Franklin Elementary School into "spaces of kindness and inspiration" by painting on their walls inspirational quotes and colorful murals.
The project was initiated in January by the Franklin School Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The group's president, Lori Romano, used Facebook to request help from the community.
It wasn't long before there was an overwhelming response from parents willing to donate their time and/or money. Some local businesses also agreed to help by providing supplies, including the Sherwin Williams store in Ledgewood and the Home Depot in Succasunna.
Franklin School Guidance Counselor Gail LaCosta collected a quote from each classroom for the project and assisted with some of the supplies. Franklin School Principal Lisa Ferrare worked with the buildings and grounds department to make arrangements for the classroom bathrooms to be open for the school's aftercare program.
The project took about three weeks to finish. The volunteers worked Fridays between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. and completed the transformation of the bathrooms on Feb. 9.
 Four Roxbury High School students - Emily Christel, McKenzie Morgan, Cammy Messer and Camile Guglielmo - chipped in to paint a rainbow mural in the 3rd- and 4th-grade girl's bathroom.
Often, children experiencing bad days will escapes to the bathroom, figured the PTA parents. The goal of the project was to help those children feel better and see there can be a positive outcome for many situations.
"This act of kindness from our Roxbury community will hopefully reflect on our children at Franklin School," Romano said. "All the quotes and cheerful murals are positive images for our children that we hope they can reflect on and enjoy for years to come ... Gotta love our Franklin School parents."
Sherwin Williams store manager Kyle Royer said he was "happy to be a part of helping the community."

Wrestling Update:
Wayne Valley finishes with fury to rally past Roxbury in N1G4 final - Feb 8
Jordan Botero considered it the ultimate test of his high school wrestling career.
It seemed only appropriate that it came down to the ultimate tiebreaker when Botero decisioned Charles Lisa at 285 pounds to cap second-seeded Wayne Valley's comeback to a 33-31 victory over top-seeded Roxbury in the
NJSIAA/Rothman Orthopaedics North Jersey, Section 1, Group 4 final

What district is my team in? Everything to know for the NJ wrestling tournament
The first step to Atlantic City starts here.
Wrestlers from across North Jersey will be back on the mat Saturday for the District tournament and kick off the individual postseason.
Here is where everyone is going this weekend in the NJSIAA's new alignment.
District 6 at Roxbury / Schedule: Saturday 9 a.m. start, semifinals 1 p.m., finals 5 p.m.
Teams: Clifton, DePaul, Eastside, Fort Lee, Hackensack, Lodi, Montville, Passaic, Roxbury and Weehawken.
North Jersey returning champions (2018 weight): DePaul's Nicky Cabanillas (126), Ricky Cabanillas (145), Connor O'Neill (152) and Eddie Bierals (285).
Outlook: DePaul's Ricky Cabanillas begins his quest for a second straight state title and could get a good challenge from the start. Roxbury senior Scott Jarosz is a returning state qualifier and remains unbeaten this season at 145 or 152. The Gaels hung on to beat the Spartans last year in this tournament, which gets even more interesting with the addition of sectional champ Montville.

Gaels Going Green - Did you know...
Green Tips to Give a Go from Nat Geo Kids
You can help protect the planet! Try some of these tips to conserve limited resources such as water, energy, and animals; prevent landfill waste; or decrease harmful gases, such as CO2, which contribute to
global warming
. So get green and give the tips a try. Make sure to ask your parents before trying any of these tips!
Recycle and Reuse - Recycle at home!
Click here for a complete list of what Roxbury recycles!
Choose rechargeable batteries, then recycle them when they die. You'd have to use hundreds of single-use batteries to equal the energy you'd get out of one rechargable battery.
The next time you have the impulse to buy a new book to read, borrow it from the library or a friend instead of buying a new copy. Sharing books is a great way to reduce waste and reuse materials.
Don't drink
bottled water
! Use a reusable bottle instead.
Buy toys that last. Toys are made, directly or indirectly, from natural resources. Choose toys that won't break easily so you aren't always buying more stuff or creating more trash.
Improve the Outdoors - Plant a deciduous (leafy) tree that loses its leaves in fall on the south side of your home. Its shade will cool your house in the summer. After the tree's leaves fall, sunlight will help warm your house in winter. Trees help clean the air we breathe. They produce oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide.
Participate in cleanup days at a beach or park. Use those outdoor trash cans! Never litter. Keep our waterways clean. When you visit a park or beach, be sure you deposit your trash in containers and volunteer at some state and national cleanups. Participate in the next Roxbury Clean Communities Clean Up.
Click here to find out more about Roxbury Clean Communities.
Don't Kill That Spider! -
There are an estimated 40,000 species of spiders, and they all eat insects. They're an important part of the food web and provide natural pest control.

Broadway Shows Bus Trip to NYC
Choose from two great shows!
Kiss Me, Kate or Disney's Aladdin on Saturday, March 2nd.
Kiss Me, Kate - In the constellation of musical comedy masterpieces, Kiss Me, Kate shines on perhaps Broadway's most sparkling achievement. This is the winner of the first-ever Tony Award® for Best Musical, alive with onstage romance, backstage passion, comedy high and low, a hilarious dash of Shakespeare's Shrew, and the songwriting genius of Cole Porter at his stylish, sexy, sophisticated best. Once again, Roundabout catapults you to a musical comedy heaven, with a brand-new Kiss Me, Kate. In Cole Porter's sparkling 1948 musical, the warring lovers of The Taming of Shrew are causing trouble both onstage and off. While putting on a musical version of Shakespeare's play, exes Fred Graham (Will Chase) and Lilli Vanessi (Kelli O'Hara) can't decide if they're enraged, enamored or enormously confused whenever they cross paths out of character.
 Disney's Aladdin - Experience a whole new world in a whole new way! The beloved story is brought to thrilling theatrical life in this bold musical. With just one rub of a magic lamp, Aladdin's journey sweeps you into an exotic world full of daring adventure, classic comedy, and timeless romance. It's an unforgettable experience that includes all the cherished songs from the Academy Award®-winning score and more written especially for Broadway.
This stage production is directed and choreographed by Tony Award® winner Casey Nicholaw, and composed by Tony Award winner Alan Menken. It features lyrics penned by the legendary Howard Ashman and Tony Award® winner Tim Rice, with book and additional lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Aladdin
