SADD member Rylee wants to remind us...

Today was a big day. We won 1st prize in this year's Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey’s U Got Brains Champion Schools Program. Born from tragedy, we made our advisor proud with our campaign to make roads safer in honor of her Stella.

Eyes on the road, safety for all. This Distracted Driving Awareness Month, let's watch out for pedestrians and cyclists. Stay focused, drive safe! #safety #Focus #StayAlert

You can juggle the Parkway, Turnpike, and a Wawa run, but texting while driving? Not even a Jersey driver’s got time for that! Keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

@joeavati My husband just bought me 2nd row tickets to see you FINALLY in Queens, NY for July 29th! Why aren't you having a meet and greet? I just want to shake hands with a fellow Calabrese! #youmakemelaugh

@DJChikid They're writing him in a slow descent- but in reality he's turned his back on the one person that took him in and gave him a life. Ingrate. His world should fall, but he should live to see it.

Author @neilhimself proposed that for Halloween, we give each other books. I'd give out IT by @StephenKing because I read it in high school and it still haunts me. #MRHSreads #AllHallowsRead #inspirereading

For this year's Teen Read Week, I recommend Speak by @halseanderson because it shows Melinda having the courage to find her voice- an important lesson for us all. #MRHSreads #TRW22 #inspirereading @NEHSXpress

"Censorship, literary or otherwise, threatens diversity and puts those in the marginalized communities at a disadvantage. The only way to put a nail on its coffin is to actively fight it." #nehs4ss https://t.co/rA8Lhf72ep

@larrylewiswrite Got you!

All kids deserve #fREADom to read. Art Spiegelman won the Pulitzer for his family graphic memoir Maus, but McMinn County TN schools think it should be banned. In history, book banners are never remembered as good guys. @MariaLovesWords @NEHSXpress #mrhsreads

One of my favorite #inspirational biographies is Teacher Man by Frank McCourt. Let's celebrate biographies of those that inspire us @MRHSNJ NEHS! @z_gross @NEHSXpress #mrhsreads

[Maria P @MariaLovesWords]

For #nonfictionnovember we chose books that taught us that equal educational opportunities need to be fought for. #mrhsreads @z_gross

[Maria P @MariaLovesWords]

So excited to win these from @ncte and @SSEdLib !! #Read
