Runners and walkers, of all ages, are encouraged to participate in the Diabetes Foundation, Inc.’s (DFI) Eighth annual “Run the Palisades” 5K & 10K Run/Walk/Kids Fun Run on Sunday, May 15. Beginning at the Fort Lee Community Center, 1355 Inwood Terrace, this USATF certified course travels through Fort Lee and Cliffside Park.

Awards will be given in all age categories and all participants will receive goody bags and refreshments. Additional activities include health screenings:  blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, diabetes risk assessment, and vision; massages; healthy cooking demonstrations; diabetes health education; and fitness assessments.

Groups and individuals interested in participating in Run the Palisades can register by visiting www.runthepalisades.org or calling (201) 444-0337.   For additional information about services and programs Diabetes Foundation, Inc. offers throughout the year, click here.

Since 1990, the Diabetes Foundation, Inc. (DFI) has been dedicated to serving low-income, uninsured, and underinsured New Jersey children and adults with diabetes.  DFI improves patient care and quality of life by focusing on four main areas of support:  medication and medical supplies assistance, patient support services, diabetes public education, and Camp Nejeda scholarships.

DENVILLE — Morris County School of Technology student Yashwee Kothari has received the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing.  The award, sponsored by the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), recognizes young high school women for their computing-related achievements and interests as part of an effort to encourage more young women to choose careers in technology.

Award-winners were selected from high schools across New Jersey for their outstanding aptitude and interest in information technology and computing, solid leadership ability, good academic history, and plans for post-secondary education.

“Encouraging young women’s interest in technology careers is critical: our workforce needs their creativity and their innovation,” said Lucy Sanders, CEO and Co-founder of NCWIT. 

“Morris County School of Technology is proud that one of its own students received this prestigious award, and offers an Academy for Computer Information Science, recognizing its value to students’ future success,” said Shari Castelli, Director of Curriculum and Programs.

The Morris County Vocational School District provides vocational and enrichment programs that inspire and prepare students to succeed in today’s world and pursue tomorrow’s opportunities. Find out more at (www.mcvts.org) to learn about programs, including high school Career Academies, Share Time Programs, and Continuing Education programs.

The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) works to correct the imbalance of gender diversity in technology and computing because gender diversity positively correlates with a larger workforce, better innovation, and increased business performance. Increasing the number of women in technology and computing also has the potential to improve the design of products and services to better serve a more diverse population, and increase economic and social well-being by providing more women with stable and lucrative careers.
