Schools Get Thousands From Berkeley, Brick Summer Carnival Revenue
Several location schools were presented with checks of more than $1,500, thanks to revenue from the Brick Central Summertime Carnival.
BERKELEY, NJ — Students got off to a strong start this school year with donations from the Central Regional Board of Education and CR Foundation.
"The Board of Education wanted all of its current and future students to be successful," explained Dr. Tom Parlapanides, the district superintendent.
Over the summer, the first- ever Brick Central Summertime Carnival, BCC, was held to raise money for both schools.
