It takes a village to raise a leader, and these four graduates are the perfect example of our community at its best!

Once again, GRAA will be marching in the Glen Ridge Memorial Day parade!

Participants will assemble at the corner of Baldwin Street and Sherman Avenue at 10:30 am on Monday, May 25, 2026. The parade will proceed south on Ridgewood Avenue to the Memorial in front of Ridgewood Avenue School, where the traditional service of remembrance will be held. (In the event of rain, the service will be held in the school auditorium.)

Please wear a GRAA sports uniform, if you have one!

After the service, everyone is invited to the train station for the annual town picnic, where food and drinks will be available for sale.

We hope you can join us!
