If you have recently driven past Nut Swamp Elementary School (925 Nut Swamp Road), you will have noticed kids playing on the brand new, full-size synthetic turf field! This new field is a welcome supplement to the turf field built by the Township Committee on school property in 2013.  These twin fields, both with full sports lighting, will provide children with a place to play soccer, football, and lacrosse day and night for years to come. Meanwhile, on the main Normandy Park property, new synthetic turf fields are still under construction and nearing completion. These new baseball and soccer fields will also allow for games to be played under the lights. New parking and lighting is also planned for the site with project completion set for the end of the year!

NJ Poison Control Center Warns Community About Potential Misuse of Hand Sanitizers



In the COVID-19 era, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are not just a household staple, they are an everyday necessity. Since becoming part of our daily defense against coronavirus infection, these products are kept just about everywhere — from vehicles to handbags/backpacks to lunchboxes. Although hand sanitizers play an important role in preventing infection and slowing the spread of COVID-19, these products can result in potentially serious health consequences. In fact, hand sanitizers carry a potential for misuse, abuse and accidental exposure which can lead to alcohol overdose (poisoning).
