Children of the Glen Rock Jewish Center Nursery School recently participated in an intergenerational spring social with senior members of the congregation and the local community. In addition to chatting and socializing, everyone decorated oversized flower petals that were then combined into beautiful giant flowers (inset) that are now decorating the synagogue’s social hall. The children and seniors sang spring songs, planted window boxes, and enjoyed lunch.
Fun for all ages

Free trees available to borough homeowners The Glen Rock Shade Tree Advisory Committee has announced that borough residents may now request free trees. Trees will be planted in the right-of-way along the streets in front of their homes. While trees are being planted in November, the committee will be evaluating residents’ request forms as they are submitted and determining priority for planting. The top priority will be for trees on sides of streets without electrical wires. Second priority will go to locations on the side of the street where electrical lines are located, but where trees can be planted farther away from the street and
not directly under the lines. Tree request forms are available at Glen Rock Borough Hall. Residents may send their e-mail address to GlenRockTreeTrust@gmail.com and an electronic version of the form will be sent to then.
