Ugh, I heard about this at Millstone Day in late September from a friend and fellow Millstoner ...

Millstone arts center opener gets rave reviews - Examiner, 10/02/08:
Fabulous! Wonderful! Fantastic! Those were some of the adjectives community members used to describe the Sept. 20 production of "One Night on Broadway" at the Millstone Performing Arts Center (MPAC).

Donahue said she did not yet know the revenue that the event generated.

Foley said many people at Millstone Day told him that the event was good for bringing the arts into the community.

"One Night on Broadway" was the school district's first professional production at the MPAC, which is located in the township's new middle school and has professional-quality staging, lighting and sound.

The program for the event noted that the Millstone Township School District wants the MPAC to act as a conservatory of the performing and visual arts for the Millstone Township community.
Your tax dollars at work play.

Meanwhile ...

Some NJASK scores down in Millstone - Examiner, 10/02/08:
Millstone third-graders, of which 169 students took the test this year, scored equal to or slightly above other students in the "I" District Factor Group (DFG) in the language arts, math and science sections of the test.

The state Department of Education's DFGs, which range from "A" to "J," reflect a community's socioeconomic status. Other "I" districts include Colts Neck, Holmdel, Marlboro, and Fair Haven.
Etc.
