Hello,

Thank you!  This year's SHEF Chili Cook-Off was a huge success!  The middle school students, faculty, staff and administration extend a hearty thank you to all those who came out for a fun evening and supported the Somerset Hills School District's students in the process.  A special thank you to all those who devoted countless hours planning this event!

Have a wonderful spring vacation!  Remember that school reopens Monday, April 9th.
