Page 10 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • November 14, 2012 Ho-Ho-Kus Nye and D’Iorio win seats on school board by Jennifer Crusco Casting their ballots in the borough’s first school board election to be held in November, Ho-Ho-Kus voters selected incumbent trustee Mary Ellen Nye and newcomer Cinzia Parise D’Iorio as their representatives to the board. Nye received 884 votes and D’Iorio received 796 in the Nov. 6 contest. Amy Langevin, who was also seeking election to one of the two available three-year seats on the board, received 656 ballots. Ho-Ho-Kus Superintendent Deborah Ferrara said the board plans to reorganize on Jan. 8, 2013. She also indicated that the board will likely bid farewell to long-time trustee Michaela Donadio at a board meeting in December. Donadio opted not to run for reelection this year. D’Iorio graduated from Seton Hall University’s Stillman School of Business, where she currently sits on the Market Research Center Advisory Board. She worked for Schering Plough Pharmaceuticals for 14 years, holding in business analytics, business development, market research, and sales. For the past 10 years, she has served as principal of CPD Research & Consulting, a health care market research firm.

She has been class mother and Tic Toc Art Docent for each of her children. She is a member of the Home & School Association and has served on the Get Out and Vote Committee for the school. She was also an assistant in the classroom at the Ho-Ho-Kus/Waldwick Cooperative Nursery School from 2008-11. D’Iorio is an active parishioner of Saint Gabriel the Archangel Church in Saddle River, where she serves as a Eucharistic minister and a religious education teacher. Nye was appointed to the board in 2010, after trustee Robert Inglima resigned. She was elected to Inglima’s oneyear unexpired term in 2011, and has now won her first three-year term. Nye grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus and graduated from the HoHo-Kus School. She subsequently graduated from Immaculate Heart Academy, the University of Virginia, Fordham Law School, and the NYU School of Law. Nye is also an active member of both the Ho-Ho-Kus Education Foundation and the Home and School Associ- ation. She is a Tic Toc Art Docent, a library and LEAP volunteer, a Girl Scout leader, a CCD teacher, and former board member of the Contemporary Club of Ho-Ho-Kus. Parents organize ‘makeup date’ Some Ho-Ho-Kus parents got together and coordinated a Trunk or Treat event that was held last week at the Ho-Ho-Kus Public School parking lot. Since the streets were not safe for the children due to downed trees and power lines following Hurricane Sandy, which hit on Oct. 29, the kids did not have a Halloween. Last week, everyone got together and brought their Halloween candy and distributed it from the back of their decorated cars. The kids had a great time and it was nice for everyone to get out and smile after the long stretch without power.
