At our last Board meeting, Palisades Park Elementary 5th-grader Connor McGuire led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and shared a thought-provoking essay on citizenship.
“Citizenship is not just about what we get from our country, it is also about what we give back..... If everyone tries to do their part even in small ways, we can help make the world a better place.”
Thank you, Connor, for inspiring us all with this great reminder! #CMSProud
