📰 News we're reading

• $350K Awarded to Rockland Organizations (rocklandnews.com) — State Assemblyman Aron Wieder recently brought $350,000 in state funding to Rockland County organizations, announcing the grants from his district office in Pearl River. The money supports public safety, emergency response, schools, youth programs and family services in Ramapo and Orangetown, including local police, fire, ambulance corps, East Ramapo schools, and several community nonprofits that directly assist area residents.
   

• 3 HS football games this week forfeited due to lack of healthy players (thetimesherald.com) — Pearl River's Class B football team lost a scheduled home game this week when undermanned Briarcliff/Hamilton forfeited rather than risk more injuries. The decision is part of a wider trend, as several New York high schools struggle with shrinking football rosters, cancellations and even full-season shutdowns across multiple sections.
