Putting Kids & Community First!🌟

Progressing with Purpose, Educating with Passion, Pioneering Our Future 📚🇺🇸

In Colts Neck Township, we know our schools aren’t just buildings—they’re reflections of our community values, shared hopes, and aspirations for the future. At Colts Kids First, we’re a team of committed community members who believe that our children’s well-being and success must always be the top priority. We see it as our duty to safeguard their future and advocate for their needs. We’re here to be the strong voice our children deserve.

Our team’s mission began in 2020 when the challenges of school closures and mandates put a spotlight on the importance of clear, community-driven leadership. During that time, we saw a Board of Education that prioritized other concerns over our children’s well-being. But the 2022 Colts Kids First election of John CAMERA marked a turning point. He brought a commitment to common sense, family-centered values, and a willingness to stand up for our children. Colts Kids First proudly champions parental rights, opposes government overreach, and rejects any form of political agenda in our schools.

Our commitment goes beyond the classroom. Fiscal responsibility and transparency are essential to Colts Kids First, and our 2023 Colts Kids First candidates—Jason ORRICO, Vincent RUGNETTA, Kevin WALSH, and Angelique VOLPE—have demonstrated leadership and dedication to creating family-centered policies while prioritizing the interests of taxpayers. This team elected John CAMERA as the Colts Neck Board of Education President and advocated for live-streaming board meetings to promote transparency and accountability across the community—an achievement that underscores their commitment to open governance.
