Congrats to the North Jersey students of the week for April 19

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.

We need more nominations for next week! If you are a high school administrator/teacher and would like to find out more about the program, please email studentoftheweek@northjersey.com. Again, only school officials can nominate students.

Here are the latest winners.
