|
|
|
|
|
|
 Bright Connections owner Jennifer Wetjen leaves the dais smiling after she discusses the program's next steps and her excitement to begin!

After an extensive search and interview process, Mayor Tony Perry and the Township Committee unanimously passed a resolution at Monday night’s meeting to hire Bright Connections Tutoring Center of Lincroft to engage with parents and students with initial assessments and tutoring services.
Jennifer Wetjen, owner of Bright Connections, and her staff will be reaching out to parents and guardians who submitted the Township’s Free Tutoring Services Questionnaire in August to schedule an assessment. This will be the first step in enrolling in the Next Generation Support Program.
The Township is thrilled to bring Jen and her team onboard to help execute this important program to help students who suffered from learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic.
