📰 News we're reading

1. Third Grader’s Skull Fractured After Rock Smashes Through School Bus Window On NJ Turnpike (patch.com) — Parents in Teaneck should know that an 8-year-old Yeshivat Noam student suffered a skull fracture when a rock smashed through her school bus window as it exited the Turnpike at Teaneck Road. Multiple agencies, including Teaneck police and state investigators, are probing the attack while the school provides counseling and support to shaken students and families.
   

2. Topical Treatment Shows Promise for Mild HS in Case Series (medscape.com subscription) — A health writer who also runs a counseling practice in Teaneck reports on early evidence that a topical psoriasis drug, roflumilast, might help people with mild hidradenitis suppurativa. The small case series showed symptom improvements over two months, but experts stress that larger, controlled studies are needed before it becomes a routine treatment option.
   

3. No. 18 Demarest shakes off slow start to knock off Teaneck (nj.com subscription) — Teaneck’s girls basketball team fell 59-43 at home to No. 18 Demarest, despite leading by three at halftime. Local standouts Lexi Carnegie and Aniya Celestin powered Teaneck’s effort with strong scoring and rebounding, but Demarest’s balanced attack took over in the third quarter to hand Teaneck its fifth loss of the season.
   

4. These Bergen County towns have the highest populations, and the lowest (northjersey.com) — Teaneck ranks just behind Hackensack as one of Bergen County’s most populous municipalities, with more than 35,000 residents, underscoring its importance in the region. The article compares Teaneck’s size to nearby large towns like Fort Lee and Fair Lawn, and contrasts them with tiny communities such as Teterboro and Rockleigh.
