George Song for Paramus

Happy Independence Day!
I hope you're having a wonderful day with your loved ones celebrating our freedoms and the many things that make our nation special. On days like today, I'm reminded of how blessed I am to live in this country and to never take for granted the "simple" things like sharing a wonderful moment with neighbors watching the annual parade to breaking bread with family and friends at a bbq. If you have a moment, let's remember that the freedoms we enjoy were paid for by the sacrifices of others. Our freedom was and is never free. Stay safe and Happy 4th!

Just got back from tonight's Board of Education meeting. It's 12:30am. We started at 6:30pm. This is starting to become the norm. I just wanted to thank my fellow board members for their commitment and dedication. They all have families and lead extremely busy lives, and despite the likelihood that they will be tired tomorrow (today), they give their time because they care. As with many meetings, I witnessed that tonight. Although our discussions and debate can get intense sometimes, one thing is clear: they want the children/students of Paramus to succeed.

On Memorial Day, with gratitude and pride, let us remember all those who served and died for our country and our freedom. In honor of our Heroes, thank you and Happy Memorial Day!
