📰 News we're reading

• Annual Deer Hunt Will Return In Livingston: See Dates, Locations (patch.com) — Livingston residents are being notified that the township's annual deer cull will run from Sept. 12, 2026 through Feb. 20, 2027 on several township-owned properties, including Prospect Park and areas near the Senior/Community Center. Only permitted resident bow hunters may participate, with strict safety rules, police oversight, and restricted public access to affected lands. Venison from the hunt will be donated to local food banks, while broader debates over deer culls continue across Essex County.
   

• AP Exams, Athletics, and Calendar Shifts: Why New Jersey Districts Are Moving Up the School Year (nj21st.com) — Livingston students are heading back to school a full week before Labor Day, putting the district several instructional days ahead of nearby towns that start later. An anonymous local educator explains how this earlier calendar can benefit AP test preparation, athletics schedules, and an earlier June dismissal, and notes many New Jersey districts are shifting in the same direction.
   

• Local Event: High Holiday Experience (patch.com) — Livingston residents looking for more meaningful High Holiday services are invited to a guided Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur experience hosted by Aish Livingston and Suburban Torah. The program focuses on explaining the prayers and core ideas in an accessible way, aiming to reduce confusion and increase connection for both regular attendees and those returning after a long break.
