Congrats to the North Jersey student of the week winners for May 17

Every week during the school year, North Jersey school districts nominate outstanding students for recognition in The Record and on NorthJersey.com.

The poll opens Mondays at 5 a.m. and closes Thursdays at 5 p.m. On Fridays, we announce the top two vote-getters as students of the week, featuring their stories online and in print in The Record on Sundays and our weekly newspapers.
