Friday the 13th brings bad luck? Not to Holmdel’s Village Elementary School! Cub Scout Packs 131 & 331 of Holmdel chose Friday, April 13th to welcome Spring by planting flowers near the Main Entrance of the school.

Gerald O’Rourke was the main tour guide and actually made the Scouts do push-ups when they arrived! Sergeant O’Rourke explained that The National Guard is made up of civilian soldiers.
