Lake Riviera PTA In Brick Receives National Honor

BRICK, NJ — The Lake Riviera Middle School PTA has received recognition as a National PTA School of Excellence.

The Brick Township middle school parent teacher association was one of 11 in New Jersey to receive the honor from the National PTA organization.

The 2019-2021 National PTA Schools of Excellence "are designated in recognition of their commitment to building an inclusive and welcoming school-community where all families contribute to enriching the educational experience and overall well-being for all students," the program description says.

There were 326 schools around the nation honored in the program.

The two-year designation celebrates PTA leadership and accomplishments. Through the year-long program process, each PTA examines how their community feels the school measures up to the research-based indicators of the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships. Then the PTA members work in partnership with their school community and administrators to address areas for growth and create new ways for families to support student success.

The Lake Riviera PTA will celebrate its designation at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 7.
