Briarwood's first installment of Recess Reimagined DELIVERED!

Students from the winning classrooms from the "Making Change in Briarwood" Fundraiser were the first to experience the new outdoor games and building sets.

On April 4th, the Florham Park Education Foundation (FPEF) hosted a vibrant Spring Break Trivia Night and Wine Tasting that brought together community members for an evening filled with laughter, friendly competition, and delightful flavors.
