Local Businesses Help in Hightstown HS Freshman Orientation

The free event was a fun welcome to all incoming freshman students.

The members of Hightstown High School’s newest class attended Freshman Orientation on Sept. 4, where representatives from the school and local community welcomed them into the building and familiarized them with important expectations, rules and procedural information.

At the event, students met their teachers and school administration and navigated their class schedules for the first time. The day culminated in a picnic-style lunch hosted in the school cafeteria, where HHS’ new principal, Dennis M. Vinson, along with other members of the HHS Staff and the EWRSD Administration cooked and served typical summer fare and enjoyed the opportunity to interact with students on a personal basis.

Local businesses that were instrumental in making this activity fun, friendly, and free to all students included: Americana Diner, Canal’s Discount Beverage, CCL Label, Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse, Comisky’s  Greenhouses, Conair, Cream Ridge Winery, Dairy Queen, David Bradley Chocolates, East Windsor Bowl, Fernando’s American Cuisine, First Constitution Bank, Frogbridge, Fulton Bank, Hightstown Diner, Krackerjack Farm Market, Mannino’s Pizza, McCaffrey’s Food Market, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Perkins Restaurant, Rita’s Italian Ice, Shiseido America, Shoprite of East Windsor, South Pacific Flowers, Staples, Stitches-N-Ink, Tavern on the Lake Restaurant, TGI-Friday’s, Walmart of East Windsor,  Wawa Food Markets and Wegmans.

This year, the high school also received similar corporate donations from Conair, CCL Label, Shiseido America, and McCaffrey’s Food Market.
