Your daily planner for Jefferson Township includes a reminder to school parents and last-minute info for those interested in volunteering for this weekend's Lake Hopatcong cleanup.

Well, Hopatcong and Sparta survived Election Day. Here's what you need to know for Wednesday.

  • It's the White Rock School's turn to promote reading. The Scholastic Book Fair comes to the elementary school Wednesday. From 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., books will available for purchase in the school's Media Center, 2 Francine Place in Oak Ridge.
  • The Lake Hopatcong Community Cleanup is coming this weekend, and it is not too late to volunteer.

Registration is quick and easy. During the cleanup, all volunteers will pick up debris with a team; you'll be provided with gloves and trash bags. 
  • Don't forget, parents: the New Jersey Education Association conference is Thursday and Friday, so school children have the next two days off from school.
