On Tuesday, Dec. 8, the Honorable Mayor Silverio A. Vega and the West New York Board of Commissioners kicked off the holiday season with the annual town hall and tree lighting ceremony.

While members of the community huddled together to watch the ceremony, the West New York Recreational Cheerleaders provided some holiday spirit,. and kids got a special early visit from Santa Claus.  

This Saturday, Dec. 12, West New York hosted its annual district wide Holiday Party for all third graders from the public and private schools of West New York.

Sponsored by the honorable Mayor Silverio A. Vega, in collaboration with the West New York Women’s Club, and West New York Police Department, kids arrived at the West New York Middle School for a day of fun activities and special guest appearances by Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and MacGruff the Crime Dog. The kids also enjoyed a magic act and a performance by the West New York Recreational Cheerleaders.

Many kids went home with various donated prizes, which were raffled off and included toys, bikes, iPods, and even laptops. Funds collected from Mayor Vega’s birthday party fundraiser went to purchasing many of the prizes. Each child, who won a prize, also took a picture with Santa Claus.

The party ran from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m, and all children received a t-shirt and goody bag to take home as they left the party.
