Pendant Prize Benefits Charter Fitness Effort

Members of the Charter Community Organization gathered at Sunday to choose a winner for a diamond pendant raffle used to raise money for the school's fitness campaign.

After selling tickets for the raffle for a month, Alan Fisher was given the honor of pulling the winning ticket. According to the CCO, Krystyna Jakimowicz of Mendham won the diamond pendant valued at $4,000.

The money raised will help improve the school's playground.
