The Forum School Recognized for Service to the Community

Waldwick, NJ– The Forum School, a private, not-for-profit school serving students with autism and related challenges in Waldwick NJ, has been recognized as a community member that supports local students with disabilities through its programs.

Each year, the bank’s Board of Directors selects recipients based on their contribution to the local community. Organizations such as food pantries, fire departments, and other nonprofits are considered for the awards.

“We are so grateful to have the support of Atlantic Stewardship Bank,” said Brian Detlefsen, Principal of The Forum School. “We simply could not carry out our mission without the generous support of our friends in the local business community.”
