What They Say

“Though I didn’t know it at the time, CDS meant everything to me. Ultimately, I was the one who made the choice to turn my life around and go down a new path.”
Student, Fort Lee, NJ

“I want to personally thank you for all of your help with this very difficult family. Their son is in great need of treatment and I know both parents are comforted by the high level of care that he will receive at Cornerstone. For them I know that they see the 24/7 hot line as a godsend: Mom said that it’s the first time that she can really sleep at night.”

Case Manager, Essex County, NJ

“Cornerstone meant a lot to me. It taught me how to cope. It has truly made me the person I am today, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Student, Union, NJ

Fall Field Day: A Day of Fun, Teamwork, and Lasting Memories!

Fall Field Day 2026

On Friday, October 9, Cornerstone students and staff enjoyed a wonderful Fall Field Day at Nomahegan Park in Cranford. With sunny skies and a crisp autumn breeze, it was the perfect day to step outside, enjoy the fresh air, and celebrate our school community!

Students and staff participated in a variety of fun, team-building activities, including tug-of-war, the sponge and bucket race, the ball-and-spoon race, and a hula hoop competition. Our school-wide kickball game drew the largest number of participants, while the three-legged race was undoubtedly the source of the most laughter!

After a busy morning of activities, everyone gathered to enjoy a pizza lunch together before wrapping up the day with some friendly volleyball and soccer games.

Fall Field Day was a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to connect outside the classroom, work together, share plenty of laughs, and enjoy each other’s company. Most importantly, it was a day filled with smiles, school spirit, and memories that will last long after the leaves have fallen!
