NJ Sending Marching Band To 80th Anniversary Commemoration Of D-Day In France
Raritan High School is one of 10 in the United States whose marching bands have been selected to perform at the 80th-anniversary commemorations of D-Day in Normandy, France next year.

D-Day -- June 6, 1944 – marks the Allied invasion of German-occupied France and the beginning of the liberation of Europe from Nazi tyranny. A D-Day Commemoration Committee will mark the date in 2024 with a special celebration of “International Salute …

SNAP: Temps In Teens, 20s Headed Our Way
Snow in't the issue: The kind of cold that ordinarily doesn't hit the tri-state area 'till New Year’s Eve is “the real story” for Friday and Saturday, an expert meteorologist warns. Temperatures in North Jersey, Rockland and areas just north will be in the 20s and low 30s on Friday – but that’s just the start, Joe Cioffi said in a Thursday report. On Saturday, “it’s going to be teens and 20s just about everywhere,” he said. Predictions of snow for the tri-state area this weekend are “a big yawn,” Cioffi said.
