 Fun – N- Friends teaches your child in a structured classroom setting while at the same time promoting independent choices.  We incorporate the Kinesthetic approach.  Children lean by doing.  Your child will explore and discover which will develop confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.  Larger classes gather as a whole but will have the opportunities to work in smaller groups for both artwork and teacher guided instruction.

Many of our neighbors in Mount Olive struggle to put food on the table, especially now. The Mount Olive Pantry believes that no one should go to bed hungry, and we need your help. While donated food items are greatly appreciated, they often don’t make a meal. Gift cards to the local grocery stores help us fill in the gaps with meat, dairy and fresh produce. Financial donations contribute to the overall costs of running the pantry, including rent for the space and maintaining the vehicle that is used to pick up product from the stores. Whether donating food items, gift cards, money or time, your donation will make a difference to those counting on our help. Please, do what you can. They are located at Christ Episcopal Church 369 Sandshore Road  Budd Lake NJ Mount OlivePantryNJ@GMAIL.COM

   From the picturesque views and quaint towns of Southern Italy, the proud owners of Valentino's Pizza, immigrated to the United States in 1979, planting their roots in Brooklyn, NY. This is where Antonio, Giuseppe, and Cosimo's first restaurant business venture began, in 1980. After four successful years, the entrepreneurs moved across state lines into New Jersey, where their love of the business and success flourished.  Throughout the years, multiple businesses were opened around the state in towns like East Hanover, Carteret, Lake Hiawatha, Dover and Hope, New Jersey. The three brother's recently expanded their businesses and opened two more pizzerias named, Mezza Luna in both Milford and Somerset, New Jersey. The original Valentino's was opened in 1992 in the town of Flanders and after 25 years, it's still going strong. At Valentino's we offer casual homemade Italian cuisine with a relaxed atmosphere.
