USR 130th Anniversary Celebration: Art Logo Contest
Upper Saddle River is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year, and to mark this historical event, the town will be recognizing this milestone at USR Oktoberfest this Fall. The school district has partnered with the township on the creation of student-made logos to promote the anniversary. Mrs. Rockwell will introduce the logo contest with students this month during class. The logo contest will run most of the month of May, as students may use any medium to depict the town's history with a "Then and Now" theme.
