• School-based nurse practitioner program helping Monmouth County students (roi-nj.com) — Eatontown students will keep access to in-school nurse practitioner services thanks to new grant funding for the VNA Health Group’s School-Based Nurse Practitioner Program. The initiative brings primary and preventive care, screenings, and chronic-disease support directly into schools across Eatontown and neighboring districts, reducing missed class time and easing the burden on working parents who might otherwise struggle to secure timely appointments. 
• Ways to Volunteer at the Jersey Shore This Fall 2026 (thelocalgirl.com) — If you’ve been thinking about helping animals close to home, the Monmouth County SPCA on Wall Street in Eatontown is actively recruiting volunteers for dog walking, cat socializing, and outreach events. It’s one of many Jersey Shore organizations and fall 2026 programs seeking local residents to pitch in, from food banks to beach cleanups and housing projects across the region.
• Amerigo Vespucci Society Awards Scholarships to Three Outstanding Students (thelinknews.net) — Two Eatontown students, Julia McCarthy and Morgan Rescinio, were among three young women honored with scholarships from the Amerigo Vespucci Society at a packed awards dinner in Long Branch. Local officials and AVS leaders praised their academic achievements and community-minded goals, highlighting how this long-standing Italian American organization continues investing in Monmouth County’s youth and heritage.
