• Carteret HSA has strong momentum (essexnewsdaily.com) — Carteret parents leading the Home and School Association have rebuilt the group’s finances from just a few dollars to nearly $12,000 while organizing lively fundraisers and an expanded Teacher Appreciation Week. Their volunteer efforts are funding school supplies, special events like a Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch, and plans for even bigger community-building activities next year. 
• Man pleads guilty to ramming car into Chabad Lubavitch headquarters in New York City (srnnews.com) — A Carteret man has pleaded guilty in federal court to intentionally ramming his car into the Chabad Lubavitch world headquarters in Brooklyn, causing thousands of dollars in damage but no injuries. He faces up to three years in prison, though guidelines suggest a shorter term, and must repay the damage, while Jewish community leaders question whether the consequences are strong enough.
