JAMES CALDWELL HIGH SCHOOL
​CLASS OF 2020 TRIBUTE VIDEO 

April 15, 2020

Vice Principal of James Caldwell High School John Bertollo has created a tribute video for the graduating class of 2020. It's 45 minutes long and has reflections and good wishes from over 80 community members including Teachers and Administrators, along with:
  • Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill
  • Borough of Caldwell Mayor John Kelley
  • Township of West Caldwell Mayor Joseph Tempesta, Jr.
  • Board of Education President Marie Lanfrank
  • Caldwell-West Caldwell School District Superintendent Dr. James Heinegg

John Bertollo:
"Having just lost a district administrator two weeks ago, Grover Cleveland Middle School Principal Jim Brown (he was their principal their 7th and 8th grade year) to COVID-19, in addition to the tough realities they are facing with family members being ill, the possibility of their high school careers come to an end and they can't see their friends every day, they are missing spring sports, possibly losing award ceremonies, prom, and the possibility of not having a traditional graduation ceremony, I wanted to create something to celebrate our seniors and send positive vibes their way."

In an emotional interview yesterday afternoon, Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura announced to NJTV that he tested positive over the weekend. He's currently home isolating.

Sheriff Fontoura:
"I'm down, I feel terrible. I want to be out there with my people.
But hopefully I'll be out there soon."

Fontoura spoke out to make sure the public is aware how Law Enforcement is continuing to put themselves into danger:
"We're not looking for sympathy but we just want the public to understand that we are certainly as vulnerable as everyone else is, if not more so, because we are coming into contact with the situation."

🔷 Yesterday New Jersey State Police Colonel Patrick Callahan reported for NJ Law Enforcement:
TESTING POSITIVE:
  • 288 Law Enforcement Covid19 patients
SELF-QUARANTINED AFTER EXPOSURE:
  • 2,477 are home, off duty
