Have you heard? Probably. But this picture is worth a thousand RFH Bulldog cheers.
The snapshot, captured by RFH dad and Rumson Police Sgt. Bryan Dougherty, is all about seizing the moment of a historic win for the RFH Wrestling Team — one earlier this week that got the Dawgs a sectional title in the state’s Central Jersey Group 2 championship.
RFH beat the Point Pleasant Borough team, which was third-seeded, 66-13, getting its first sectional champ title.
This win put the Bulldogs wrestlers in the Group 2 semifinals in a match against Caldwell today (Friday).
So, TGIF cheers to a win!
It’s not every day that the artsy elf on someone’s shelf escapes to the lobby of Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) on a merry mission. It’s just at winter concert time.
And this was an elf on a mission — to promote RFH performing arts and pedal some snacks and RFH Performing Arts Society swag, of course. The elf off her shelf? Well, that’s RFH PAS President Patty Gagliardi.
Though you might have thought she was Santa Claus considering all the festive RFH PAS loot she had to sell for the good cause of keeping the performing arts going strong in the school. Shop, not workshop, set up for before, during and after the concert, there were RFH PAS ornaments, magnets, tote bags, mugs and water bottles.
It was really more like elf in a box — a holiday gift box. A box full of the myriad gifts of music and performance all wrapped up with an RFH PAS bow.
The concert wrapped up, too, those RFH PAS elves’ goodies are bound to get unwrapped somewhere. The gifts? Behind each RFH PAS piece of swag is an enduring memory and a little support.
Bravo, RFH PAS musicians and singers! Sing and play on!

Bow, curtain, mingle and pose. The show time tradition continues for Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Tower Players. After the final show, there’s always a time for lobby cheers, tears and smiles.
That’s what happened with this past weekend’s fall production of The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood. The players played to full houses and took their final bow at the Sunday matinee.
The after-show lobby time? Well, not only did they pose, but, as usual the cast was flanked by flowers, family and friends and, yes, even some Tower Player alumni.
The smiles are telling. All was a success. Take a look (Click on one photo to enlarge and scroll!) …
And, RFH PAS reminds all that the spring musical is Anything Goes!
For this one, there was an “interest” meeting on Monday. There will also be mandatory tap workshops from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 21 and 29 and Dec. 5. Auditions are set for Dec. 11 at 4 p.m. and Dec. 12 at 6 p.m..
In line with the Anything Goes theme song, “times have changed.” Interest in the spring musical was always enthusiastic and highly competitive. Get those tap shoes tapping, players!

School’s out in Rumson!
And while tradition dictates that Fair Haven’s eighth grade grads to the infamous walk down Third Street to much fanfare, Rumson students do what they call a “clap-out.” And it just happened very recently.
They’re leaving the hallowed halls of Forrestdale School and moving on to the next block at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School — most of the grads, anyway.
So, as they exit the school for the last time, the students do it to applause … and a bit of fanfare, like some drum beating. Some of the teachers also celebrated their last exit from the school. It’s anyone’s guess what was going on among students at this moment, but there are some amusing clues here.
Take a look at the photo gallery above, courtesy of the Rumson School District, for a glimpse into the milestone moment.
