Love was in the air as the Rumson Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) presented its annual Lunch with a Loved One at Deane Porter School recently.
Students kindergarten through third grade enjoyed a luncheon celebration with a special person in the special Valentine’s Day themed event on Feb. 15.
“Families and schools belong together, and Lunch with a Loved One allows us the opportunity to come together for a fun event,” Deane Porter School Principal Shari Feeney said. “It’s great to see the smiles on everyone’s faces and hear the laughter as they share lunch with their friends and loved ones.”
The PTO provided bottled water and an array of home-baked treats, snacks, gluten-free snacks, and pre-packaged peanut-free items as well as fruit and granola bars in the Deane Porter gym festooned with Valentine’s Day decor.

Fair Haven: Taking the Church Out of Church Street
Yes, it’s still called Church Street. But, no, there’s no longer any church fronting River Road at the intersection of the namesake spot in Fair Haven.
A few months after Kolarsick Builders’ plan for a three-home subdivision was approved by the Planning Board, one home looks nearly complete, another is framed and a foundation is dug for a larger one slated to front River Road while the others front, well, Church Street.
The street always comprised a close knit neighborhood comprised of many who keep in touch or remain close friends. Some even still live on the street.
They’ve been wondering lately what the street where they lived looks like. Here it is, old time Church Street people.
And, no, there are no plans to change the name to House Street.

Countdown: Helping Rumson’s Police Chief with His Fundraising Plunge
Rumson Police Chief Scott Paterson is taking the plunge — the 2016 Plunge (into the icy cold ocean) at Seaside to benefit Special Olympics New Jersey.
The chief is undaunted by the impending chill and persevering, with only a few days left until the Saturday 9 a.m. event, to reach his goal of raising $10,000 for the cause.
He’s close. He has raised $8,065 so far from 59 donors.
This is the chief’s fourth year of raising funds and taking the polar plunge for the cause. Last year, the chief was among the top fundraisers and he aspires to do even better this year and set his goal higher, because he is a believer in the benefits of the Special Olympics and says “the reward is impossible to explain!”
So, “I am asking that you please help me again in supporting the Special Olympics of New Jersey by making a donation,” Paterson says on his fundraising page. “The process is fast, easy, and secure. I truly appreciate any support you can provide. It will benefit a great cause!”
Where do the donations go? They may fulfill big sports-oriented dream or several small ones, such as sending an athlete to fall games, covering the cost of Olympics gold medals, providing an adaptive bowling ramp, uniforming a basketball team.
The chief has a few more days until the main event. He asks that if people can’t make a donation, they just try to help him along in getting his fundraising message out and inching him closer to his goal.
So, give a click on this highlighted portion and see what you can do!

Retro RFH Presidential Material
Yes, it’s Presidents Day.
And while the intent of Presidents Day was originally to commemorate the birthday of the first U.S. president, George Washington, it ended up being moved from Washington’s birthday of Feb. 22 to the third Monday of February as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971.
The purpose for that was twofold: to create a three-day weekend for federal and state employees (and sometimes municipal and private sector employees) and to celebrate all presidents.
So, yes, we celebrate all the presidents of the United States — POTUS.
But, we figured we’d give an odd RFH twist to paying ode to presidents by honoring leaders of the presidential sort from RFH’s past.
Trailblazer: RFH’s Shannon Corsi’s Ticket to the GRAMMYs
Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) student Shannon Corsi is about to hit the red carpet, or some path close to it, at the GRAMMY Awards tonight.
It was her original song “Trailblazer,” about the plight of substance abuse, that got here there. She’s already looked in on a rehearsal.
Soon it’s show time. No, she’s not a contender, but she won her own contest that got her and a few other teens closer to being one.
In case you haven’t heard it yet, take a look and listen to her song that set her on her way.
Enjoy, Shannon! Congrats!
