The Physical Education Department at Fort Lee High School recently received a grant from the Fort Lee Education Foundation enabling them to acquire two additional RealCare Babies for seniors in Family Life classes to take home and experience for 24 hours what it is like to care for a real crying baby.

The Fort Lee Education Foundation (FLEF) presented the winner of its Tour de Fort Lee 50/50 raffle with a check for $2,500 at the Judge Moore House in Fort Lee Wednesday evening, and Charles Knoll is giving half of it back for scholarships in his late wife’s name.
