Asian/Pacific American History Month
May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. A rather broad term, Asian/Pacific encompasses all of the Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia (New Guinea, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Solomon Islands), Micronesia (Marianas, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand, Hawaiian Islands, Rotuma, Midway Islands, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Easter Island).
The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants. Click here to read more about this month's history.

Roxbury Baseball/Softball Updates
Roxbury offensive barrage push Gaels past Bayonne - May 2
When Jack Findlay is pitching, it is a very difficult task to beat Roxbury from the outset. But when the Notre Dame bound ace gets run support – and the Gaels offense gave him plenty of it on Sunday – the job is just about impossible. That was exactly the story at Skylands Stadium on Sunday, as Roxbury used an early offensive barrage to overwhelm Bayonne by a 13-1 count in five innings. In winning the opening game of the 2nd annual Tony Bello Memorial Classic, the Gaels leveled their record to 4-4 on the campaign, while Bayonne dropped its third straight after a four-game winning streak to start the season.

School Community Asset Map - You Can Help!
As part of our initiative to maintain Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification, we continuously need to update our Community Asset Map. This is a collective inventory of the positive and valued aspects of a community by identifying the places, institutions, programs, and people that contribute to making our communities great places to learn and live.
Community assets can include information on local artists, scientists, and other experts, parks, local historic buildings, and green businesses, but can also include resources like cultural activities and events, arts, cultural and service organizations, social service agencies, and community organizations that are part of the great community context.
We've come up with over 700 businesses, restaurants, educational institutions, medical facilities, transportation hubs, and community organizations since 2018, but we need your help up in updating this list as we know things are ever-changing.
Please take a few minutes and jot down a few places and/or groups that you can think of to help round out our list. Click here for more information regarding the Roxbury Community Asset Map and how you can contribute.

The one-mile walks will take place in Clinton, Denville, Madison and Robbinsville.
The event is designed to inform the public that the problems people face with mental illness and substance use disorders are not subjects of shame or embarrassment but are medical issues that can be addressed and treated. The goal is to eliminate stigma associated with mental health and substance use disorders through education. Stigma is the primary barrier to those with mental health and substance use disorders to seek help.
The first 150 people to register at each site will receive a free T-Shirt and face mask. People may register at here.
To learn more about the Rotary Stigma-Free initiative, please contact District Governor Ann Walko at edudoc98@aol.com or 908-410-7251. Click here to read more from the Roxbury Register.

NJ Human Services Extends COVID-19 Child Care Assistance Programs Through End of School Year
The state will be extending several COVID-19-related child care assistance programs for families and providers through the end of June 2021. As part of the public health emergency, the state launched the New Jersey School-Age Tuition Assistance Program to help families pay for care for their school-age child in need of child care as a result of COVID-19 remote learning schools schedules.
For families who have been approved for School-Age Tuition Assistance, payments for your child’s care will now continue through June 30, 2021. No new applications are being accepted.
If you need help paying for child care, you can apply for the state’s Child Care Subsidy Program. To give you a sense of whether you would be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy Program, the income maximum for a family of four is $52,400 annually. Use our calculator to see if you are likely to be eligible or visit our parent page to learn more about this program. If you need help finding child care, contact your local Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) Agency. Families can apply online at www.ChildCareNJ.gov.
