Thursday night, Mahwah educators, parents, teachers, supporters and school officials gathered at the Sheraton Mahwah to dine, dance, bid on raffle items and raise money for Mahwah schools. A few hundred locals attended the annual Mahwah Schools Foundation gala, which each year raises money that is donated to programs in the township’s public schools.
