ethnicity or language. Please join us in recognizing the efforts
of the teachers, administrators, staff and students who are

In This Together
On October 2, 2011, one of our student-athletes was diagnosed
with cancer. This young man’s road to recovery will be a long
and difficult one; however, he is very fortunate to have the
love and support of his family and friends. It is times like
these that remind us of what is truly important. As such, his
school community has rallied behind him to let him know that we
stand behind him in this fight. Thanks to the coordinated
efforts of Head Football Coach Oscar Guerrero and the West New
York Board of Education students and staff, the football team
organized a tee-shirt sale fundraiser to alleviate the cost of
the family’s medical bills and expenses. In a true show of
support, students and staff alike wore their orange tee-shirts
on Friday, October 28, 2011, in support of our warrior and his
family. We are “IN THIS TOGETHER”.
