Community Connections


  • Zack Pett a student at Lazar Middle School has undertaken a mitzvah project for the holidays.  As many of you in town know a kindergartener, Gracie was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma this summer. The Ferluge family has shown incredible strength throughout all her treatments. As the holidays approach all Gracie wants is breakfast with Santa. Zack's project is to fill Santa’s bag full of cards for Gracie. Nothing makes her happier than hearing from our community. Please help Zack bring some holiday joy to Gracie. Cards can be dropped off to me at 66 Ridge Drive, MONTVILLE. Additional drop boxes will be located at all the district elementary schools.  


  • Girls in grades K-3 who are new to Girl Scouts can register now during our Fall Fun Days and join a virtual Daisy or Brownie Troop!
