Kids in 1st grade and up, with an adult partner, can join staff from Safe Kids Middlesex at RWJ Barnabas Health to learn about food safety, practice safe knife skills, and make an easy, delicious snack.

Space is limited to 10 children, with an adult. Free tickets will be given out at the children's desk beginning at 4:30 PM on the day of the event.

Stick With Me

When twelve-year-olds Izzy and Wren are thrown together by unusual circumstances, they find solace and solutions to nagging problems in their newly-formed friendship.

Booked

Twelve-year-old Nick loves soccer and hates books, but soon learns the power of words as he wrestles with problems at home, stands up to a bully, and tries to impress the girl of his dreams.

Create Your 2025 Vision Board

Join the staff of NJ4S and create your personal vision board for 2025.  A vision board is a poster or collage where you can visually represent your dreams and goals.  Reflect on how you'd like to grow and the experiences you're looking for in 2025, and get it all down on an inspiring poster you can hang in your room!

All supplies will be provided, but you can bring photos or other special collage materials that you'd like to incorporate in your project.  Light refreshments will be served.

For families with kids in kindergarten and up.
