Cardinal Crew — Tonight is a big night under the lights!
🏈
Our Football Team, Cheer Team, Marching Band, and Color Guard all take the field tonight as we host Caldwell in the Sectional Semifinal — the only football team to hand us a loss this season. Let's come together to support all of our students who have worked so hard this fall.
💪🏽
Many students across these groups are seniors, and having the community show up for them from kickoff through the final note or routine adds to the energy and fun!
📣
If you’re able to join, bring the whole family and friends, and enjoy the game, the performances, and the best snack bar in the league.
😋
Hope to see everyone tonight!

Friends, family, Westwood Regional School District (WWRSD) staff, stakeholders, and fellow Trustees,

*Unofficial results, 8 AM 11/5/25

Thank you for your trust and partnership. I’m humbled by your support, energized by your passion, and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving our community and the WWRSD. Public service is a privilege, and I don’t take it for granted. This trustee role has changed me, challenged me, and strengthened my belief in what a united community can accomplish.

To Sabrina and Nicole — thank you for leading campaigns grounded in respect and free from negativity. You reminded us what true community looks like: that what we share in common is greater than our differences.

To every voter and stakeholder — whether you supported me, Sabrina, Nicole, or someone else in other elections, I will work for you. Trustees and all elected officials are placed in positions by earning the highest percentage of votes. Once elected, they must serve everyone. Our trustee responsibility is to listen with openness, elevate the voices of all stakeholders to our Superintendent and Administration, and ensure information flows transparently back to the community. At the heart of that responsibility — and always at the center of all we do — are our students.

To all volunteers, PTO and PSO leaders, educators, staff, coaches, poll workers, borough partners, and all who show up for our kids — thank you. As a parent, a coach, and a neighbor, I’ve seen firsthand how much love and time so many of you give. Your efforts shape the experiences and memories that define childhood in Westwood.

I’m proud of how far this district has come, and I’m excited about where we're going. We won’t always agree — and that’s okay. What matters is how we show up for one another, how we listen, and how we keep students at the core of every decision.

We are one community — one district — and we are all Cardinals. Let’s continue to build on our momentum and soar higher— upward and onward, together.

❤️ GO CARDS 🖤
Parent, neighbor, friend, and grateful WWRSD BoE Trustee
Jay Garcia

I’m genuinely grateful for the Letter to the Editor in the Pascack Press from Lea Simone, a dedicated teacher with over 20 years of experience. Her reflection meant a great deal to me — not because of the praise, but because it reminded me why I began this Board journey: to serve others, stay true to who I am, and work with a team to help Westwood reach its fullest potential.

Lea’s words speak to character, compassion, and doing what’s right even when no one is watching. Thank you, Lea, for your service, your heart for kids, and your belief that we are at our best when we work together — for each other and for others.

In a few days, campaign season will be over — and my posts, energy, and focus will return solely to lifting our students, supporting our staff, and celebrating the community that stands behind them both. I look forward to that.

If I’ve earned your trust—hopefully those letters to the editor have helped reinforce it- I respectfully ask on Election Day that you:

🔥 Let’s make sure this humble, hard-working leader gets the recognition he’s earned. Vote Steve Klein — JSZ Week 8 Football Game Ball, because greatness deserves your vote.

https://jerseysportszone.com/vote-now-for-the-2025-week-8-jsz-football-game-ball/?brid=qeUm9gL-CTfWfTD5S83g4g

🏈 11 carries. 225 yards. 5 touchdowns.
Against a 6-2 Bird Bowl rival in the regular-season finale.

Stevie Klein will tell you football is a team sport—and he’s right. His coaches put him and his teammates in position to make plays. But they took advantage—and he exploded.

What Stevie won’t tell you is that he did all that in just three quarters. No exaggeration—he looked like a boy among men, disappearing into a pile of Hawks and reappearing 80 yards later in their end zone.

Number 3 ran around, through, and away from defenders like a young man on a mission—because he is. Congratulations, Stevie Klein. I’ve seen plenty of great games over the years, but not a performance like this one.

And true to form, Stevie said it best: “Our work is just beginning.”

Congratulations to our Westwood Regional Cardinals Marching Band!
🎺
They were one of only 17 bands selected to perform in the North Jersey Band Festival at Clifton Stadium today!
🏟️
I’ve watched them practice, hear them play, and see them perform often — when talent meets hard work greatness happens
🌟
No surprise here — this band is great!
💪🏽
They are the district’s soundtrack — Go Cards, play on!

Thanks to Maureen Colombo for submitting her letter to the editor and to Pascack Press for publishing it.

I’m honored to have her support for my re-election. Maureen is an award-winning school counselor, Girls on the Run coach, wonderful mother, and former WWRSD trustee.

Maureen was recognized as Bergen County Counselor of the Year for her outstanding work supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. She’s known for her creativity, compassion, and leadership—qualities that shine through in everything she does, from empowering young girls through sports to strengthening her community through service.

Having someone with Maureen’s heart and integrity publicly support my reelection means a great deal. We share a belief in collaboration, kindness, and helping every child reach their full potential.
❤️🙏🏽🖤

I could not be more proud of any endorsement for my re-election to the WWRSD BoE than Michael Sawyer’s.

Michael is one of the most intelligent people I know—he is a great father and a top-tier human being whose observational humor can capture and ease any situation. His ability to lead this community with both his intellect and compassion makes him hard not to like and easy to respect.

I appreciate his support and his thoughtful letter to the editor of the Pascack Press. The Sawyer family’s friendship is one of the most meaningful rewards I have gained from becoming active in our schools and community.

Thank you for your endorsement, LTE submitted in the Press, Jodi!

Jodi is a lifelong community servant, leader, and devoted child advocate. Currently serving as a Director for the non-profit Children in Conflict, she helps provide emergency protection, education, and mental health support to children affected by war and crisis.

A mother, former council member, and longtime PTO President, Jodi has always led with compassion, collaboration, and a deep commitment to students and families.

Her endorsement humbles me; I am grateful for her guidance and support, and, above all, thankful for her friendship.

Grateful for the endorsement in the Pascack Press this week from Andrea Peck, our Vice President of the Westwood Regional Board of Education.

Andrea is a teacher, mom, and lifelong learner who leads with logic, integrity, and heart. She challenges me to see things differently — and that’s often where the best solutions and progress come from.

We may not always agree on approach, but we’re always aligned on purpose: doing what’s best for our students, staff, and community.

Proud to serve alongside you, Andrea!
