SEPTEMBER IS FUNDRAISING 'RESTAURANT MONTH'

The Bloomfield Educational Foundation is teaming up with The Town Pub, 378 Broad St. Bloomfield to help raise much needed funds for the Bloomfield Public School District.  The manager of the Town Pub approached the BEF and asked how he could help their cause and the Bloomfield community.  Michael Sceurman, newly elected Chairman, jumped at the chance to get the Town Pub involved with the fundraising effort.  “We are always seeking new and creative ways to raise funds for the students of Bloomfield” said Sceurman. “When I was approached by the manager of the Town Pub, I thought a restaurant night would be a great way to get Bloomfield families out for a good time and great food.”   Rami Korio, the manager of the Town Pub went one step further and extended the special menu and discounts for the entire month of September.  

 

On Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursdays there are specials and discounts for participating patrons as well as free face painting for all kids on Saturdays from 5PM to 8PM.  A portion of the proceeds from those nights will be donated back to the Bloomfield Educational Foundation to help support their many programs, grants and scholarships.   All people willing to participate in this fundraiser should DOWNLOAD FLYER and present it when you are at The Town Pub.

1912 Architectural Rendering of Bloomfield High School

Bloomfield High School Centennial Committee
Seeks Volunteers and Bengal Memories

By 1910 Bloomfield High School—now the site of the district administration building at 155 Broad—had become so crowded that the township’s fast-growing population of students had to attend classes in two shifts, with afternoon sessions ending after dark during fall and winter months.

So it was with great anticipation that townspeople watched construction across the street of the new four-story yellow brick facility, designed by renowned New York City architect Charles Granville Jones, who had supervised the building or expansion of six other district schools since 1892. 

“When this building is occupied,” one local wrote, “the high school will, for the first time in its history, be provided with all the necessary facilities, including lecture, study, and recitation rooms; physical, chemical, and biological laboratories; manual training rooms, a gymnasium, and a large assembly hall…admirably adapted for public gatherings of a patriotic, political, or social character.”

Now, one hundred years later, another group of 'Bloomfielders' eagerly seek subcommittee members to help prepare for the high school’s 100^th anniversary, which will kick off with a gala dinner at The Villa, Route 46 East, Mountain Lakes, on April 16th from 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM, and culminate with special events planned for the 2011 Homecoming game on the district’s newly-refurbished Foley Field.

In additions to volunteers for this ambitious undertaking, the Centennial Committee is seeking pictures, memorabilia and cherished memories of the high school’s one hundred years of continuous service to the community.

Those who wish to join a subcommittee or the Centennial mailing list can contact the Centennial Committee at centennial@bloomfield.k12.nj.us.
