School 3 Tricky Tray Held Last Night

Volunteers in referee’s stripes circulated among dozens of people last night who attended the “March Madness” Tricky Tray fundraiser, held at the San Carlo in Lyndhurst.

Parents from the school’s HSA, as well as all the school’s staff and administration, attended the event, which raises funds for educational programs like art classes and activities at School 3. The tricky tray -- where donated prizes are raffled off -- is one of the school’s largest fundraisers.

Also in attendance were members of the HSAs and PTAs from other schools, who all support each other’s fundraising efforts. William Freda, the board of education president, board vice-president Peter Zangari and trustee Joe Longo also went to the fundraiser.
