Our 9th annual Wine & Food Pairing at the Barn at Hillside Park was such a success, and we have more local businesses to thank! Our auction was fun and a big hit with our attendees, and without the generous donations of the following businesses, it would not have been possible. A huge shout out of appreciation goes to: @eatlafriedameats , @jthomasjewelers2 , @shoprite, @wild_ones_flower_farm , @lakemohawkgolfclub , @skyviewgolfclub , @thegreen_973 , @andreslakeside , @trufflesnthyme , @nicolelinross , @njmmaacademy , @garlicandoil , @cranky_noodles , @opicifamilydistributingnj and @liquorfactory ! We thank you for your continued support of the SEF and our mission of funding innovative grants for Sparta's public schools!

After careful consideration, we have decided not to host the SEF Dragon Boat Festival in 2023. With respect for our partnership with the Lake Mohawk Country Club, we want to allow adequate time for decisions to be made regarding the many facets of the club that are needed to pull off a great, and safe, event. We know this is an event many members of our Sparta community look forward to, and we appreciate everyone's support and understanding.

We want to take the opportunity to thank the Lake Mohawk Country Club for its many years of partnership for this great event. The Dragon Boat Festival is a huge undertaking, and without the enthusiasm and help of LMCC and its staff, it would not have been possible.

Last weekend we celebrated our Sparta community with our 9th annual Wine & Food Pairing event at the Barn at Hillside Park, and we'd like to thank each and every one of our fabulous guests for joining us for a wonderful evening.

With food provided by the fabulous Chef Dorant (@trufflesnthymenj ) and wine and spirits provided by @opicifamilydistributing & @liquorfactory, our guests enjoyed themselves while the Jazz-style trio of @trebleandbassproductions provided the soundtrack for the evening.

Thanks go out as well to @refineanddesign & @cedarandsagerentals for helping create an elegant space for our guests to enjoy themselves.

Lastly, to all of our sponsors, events like this would not be possible without your generosity. Thank you to Duphiney Financial, the M. John Scanlan Funeral Home, @spartasocietynj , @julapaper, Sparta Discount Tire, @purebarresparta , @meaningfulmelodiesllc, @skylandslegalllc, @blackbearfitness, @amyandheidi1, and the Lessard Family for supporting the Sparta Education Foundation and our mission to enhance the public education system in Sparta with innovative grants for our schools!

A huge thank you goes out to @cedarandsagerentals for your support of the SEF and our 9th annual Wine & Food Pairing this past Saturday!

Our guests enjoyed great wine & food while also enjoying the party-stylings of this great team. Thank you for your continued support of our mission to bring funding to innovative grants for Sparta's public schools!

Just two days until the corks start popping, and we come together as a community to enjoy an evening of great food, drink, music and companionship in the honor of Sparta's public schools!

Thank you to our Sommelier Sponsors for your support of this fun event: @spartasocietynj, @purebarresparta, @refine_and_design.krissyhering, Sparta Tire, and @julapaper.

The SEF was recently invited to witness practice time for Helen Morgan School's 5th grade archery team, lead by Physical Education Teacher AJ Agnor. The recipient of a $6,440 grant from the SEF in 2021 for archery equipment, Agnor has witnessed great enthusiasm from his students for this new sport.

Introductions to the sport started in the fall of 2021, and this year, Agnor saw enough interest to put together a team of 24 fifth graders, who will compete against other NJ teams. Agnor, along with Physical Education Teacher Kyle Markovich, meets with the students before school, during their prep periods, and during lunch to help each archer perfect their skills.

In February, the team will travel to Warren Hills High School for a live competition, and will compete in a virtual State competition in March.

In addition, Helen Morgan's school nurse, Lillian Farrell, earned certification in the sport, and leads kids after school in the sport as part of its Explorations program. Farrell touted the program for its ability to "improve focus, listening, and social skills; to pay close attention to detail and safety; to develop discipline, consistency and accuracy; to build confidence; and that it fosters enjoyment of a sporting activity".

The SEF is proud to see what an opportunity this is for Helen Morgan's students, and to see how well the program has been received. We thank our community, too, for supporting our events and making grants like this possible! Stay tuned for ticket sales for our upcoming 9th annual Wine & Food Pairing at the Barn at Hillside Park on March 4th. All proceeds go directly back to Sparta's public schools to support innovative grants like this for our students!

Mark your calendars and reserve the date! Our 9th annual Wine & Food Pairing returns March 4th to the Barn at Hillside Park in Andover. Stay tuned for details and tickets to this Sparta-favorite event!

At its monthly board meeting Tuesday, the SEF proudly accepted a $5,000 check from the Chaudhary family as part of its Giving Pump fundraiser at the Shell Station at the corners of Rts. 181 and 517. Thank you to all who utilized this pump during our fundraising term! Funds raised will go directly back into Sparta's public school classrooms, helping to fund unique and innovative educational tools to help our teachers and students in each and every one of Sparta's five public schools!

Thank you, thank you, thank you - to all our participants, our volunteers, our friends and family who cheered, to our sponsors and to the community as a whole. We are grateful for you! On behalf of the Sparta Education Foundation, we wish everyone the happiest Thanksgiving!
