🚴♂️👮♀️💙 Huge congratulations to Megan McNeil and Michael Pellegrino, the incredibly talented students at Somerville High School who have designed the winning Police Unity Tour Coin! This meaningful coin will help Officer Vito raise funds for his ride at the Annual Police Unity Tour in May, honoring and remembering those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. As the riders journey from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., let’s celebrate and support their commitment to unity and remembrance. Well done, Megan and Michael - your creativity and passion for this cause are truly inspiring! #PoliceUnityTour #allin4theville 💙🚴♀️

A big thank you to the @SomervilleNJPTO for organizing a celebration of Dr. MLK Jr. Day of Service. VDV students designed placemats and wrote letters while SMS packaged personal hygiene items. Everything was donated to S.H.I.P. (Samaritan Homeless Interim Program).
VDV students are spreading kindness. The OT students are creating kindness clips to spread a message of kindness. They are secretly clipping them on a peer's backpack, jacket, paper, folder etc. to help share some random kindness around the school.
How are you feeling going into the weekend? (Seen at VDV) #allin4theville
