Mayor Paul Kim awarded total of $10,000 in scholarships to ten 12th-grade senior students from Palisades Park High School.

Mayor Kim expressed his hope that these scholarships would encourage these students to pursue their higher education. He hoped they will grow up to be leaders who care for the future of Palisades Park. Mayor Kim wished them all a bright future on behalf of the Councils as well.

Over 50 volunteers came down today to show support for pride, culture and progress of Palisades Park. The Palisades Park HS students, Chamber of Commerce, Voters Registration Group, BOE President Chung , VP Shin, and Member Bo young, Councilwomen Won-Yoon, Jang and Lee picked up over 200 pounds of garbage and cigarette butts on Broad Ave. and found hidden liquor stashes to be removed from the public. The students recommended that we need more garbage disposals on Broad Ave. and placing cigarette butt disposals so the public won’t litter.
