Having triplets was exciting. Going into labor ten weeks early was frightening. So I didn't just pray for a miracle, I needed three. My babies weighed just over two pounds each when they were born. Thank goodness I could count on the high-risk birth specialists at Saint Peter's University Hospital. Their care and compassion gave me hope when I needed it the most. Today, the triplets who were small enough to fit in my hand are healthy, happy and quite a handful. To learn more about Neonatal Care, call 732-745-8523 or visit saintpetersuh.com

Summerbration was an open house for parents that displayed the hard work of the students and staff involved in the program. The event included performances and displays created by the students. Beth Feinberg, a freshman social studies teacher at the high school, taught Comic Strip Creator, which taught students to write, sketch and illustrate their own comic strip. "I really loved the summer enrich- ment program because the children could pick what activities they wanted to do," Femberg said. "It is important to continue the learning process out- side of school, especially during the summer because the mind gets numb."

Arumugam and his former Johnson & Johnson co- worker Sreedhar Jagadeesan opened the restaurant in February, a venture they considered for a long time. The two decided that with 27 locations around the world, in- cluding Singapore, Dubai, Canada, Malaysia and Si i Lanka, an established restaurant would provide an es- tablished menu for patrons.
