NJ: Hunterdon, Warren H.S. Students To Package 16K Meals For Food Banks

Flemington, New Jersey - If you didn’t think high school students could make a difference, think again.

Seven local high schools from Hunterdon and Warren counties are teaming with the Outreach Program to package 16,000 meals to benefit the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks. Through grants, donations and their own fundraising, the clubs were able to make $4,500, which will be used to purchase the meals from Outreach.

Seven local high schools from Hunterdon and Warren counties are teaming with the Outreach Program to package 16,000 meals to benefit the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks.

Seventy volunteers from seven Key Clubs, including Delaware Valley, Hunterdon Central, North Hunterdon, Phillipsburg, Voorhees, Warren Hills and Warren County Vo-Tech high schools, will get together on Saturday, January 27 to pack the 16,000 meals at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Raritan Township. The meals will be shipped to the food banks.

The grants were funded by the New Jersey Kiwanis Foundation and Nickelodeon's the HALO Movement. The Kiwanis Foundation provides Kiwanis clubs with the resources that they need to make a difference in the lives of children.

Kiwanis is the adult counterpart to Key Club and aids the high school students in service projects. As part of Nickelodeon’s commitment to recognize real kids who are making a difference in the world, the network identifies teens who are looking to make the world a better place by giving grants so the teens can perform life-changing service projects.

Out of hundreds of Key Clubs that applied from across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean, only 11 were selected to receive grants from the HALO Movement, and this project was selected as one of them.

The goal of the project is to help spread awareness about hunger in New Jersey, the New Jersey District of Key Club’s District Project and reduce the number of food-insecure children in New Jersey. One in every five children in New Jersey are food-insecure, meaning that they don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

By donating the meals they pack to the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks, the volunteers hope that the meals will to go to support the children and their families.

“We are eternally grateful for this donation,” said Helene Meissner, director of the NORWESCAP Food Bank in Phillipsburg and a Phillipsburg Kiwanis Club member. “And it is so inspiring to see our kids work so hard to make it happen. It really goes to show that everybody and anybody can make a difference.”

For a first year event, the Division is extremely pleased with their results and success and hope that they will be able to hold a similar event again next year.

“It is really incredible to see what we can do when we work together," said Madeleine Eichorn, lieutenant governor of the Division 13 of the New Jersey Key Club and a Hunterdon Central Key Club member.

"There are so many people out there, there are so many children, that just don’t have the resources that they need to succeed. I just hope that we made a difference and are inspiring others to do the same."

The New Jersey District of Key Club would like to urge everyone to contribute to fighting Hunger in New Jersey by educating themselves and others about the topic in addition to donating their food and time to their local food banks. If you would like to learn more about Hunger in New Jersey or how to help, contact your local food bank for more information.

More Nick: Nick Jr. Too UK & Ireland Premieres 'Kiva Can Do!'!

In Nickelodeon's hit animated preschool series, preschoolers enter a whimsical genie world full of magic, music and misadventures! The series follows twin genies-in-training, Shimmer and Shine, who grant wishes for their friend Leah that lead to surprising mishaps - but the trio always figures out a way to make the mistakes turn out great.

Shimmer and Shine features a social-emotional curriculum highlighting the importance of teamwork, resilience and overcoming obstacles. The series is created by Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz (post-production supervisor for Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!) and produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California.

Shimmer and Shine follows the magical adventures of genie-in-training twin sisters Shimmer and Shine and their human best friend Leah. Whenever Leah has a dilemma she calls upon her secret genies with a special chant and a rub of her pendant necklace. Shimmer and Shine, along with their special pets Nahal a Bengal tiger cub and Tala a playful Gibbon monkey, fly out of their genie world and into Leah's human one helping her by granting her three wishes! But the genies' naiveté about the human world means they accidentally grant wishes Leah didn't intend to make. In the end every wrong wish turns into a crazy adventure!

Kendall Schmidt Lures Fans in With 'Big Time Rush' Reunion To Promote New Heffron Drive Song, 'Mad At The World'

Kendall Schmidt had himself one of the best Big Time Rush reunions of all time!

The singer shared a new pic of him with his on-screen family, Challen Cates and Ciara Bravo, on Instagram, who came to support him with Heffron Drive's new single, “Mad at the World”, with bandmate Dustin Belt.

If you remember, the three actors starred as the Knight family on the hit musical Nickelodeon comedy series. Challen was Jennifer Knight, the mom put in charge of the boys as they relocated to Los Angeles from Minnesota, and Ciara starred as Kendall‘s younger sister, Katie, who was definitely smarter than all the boys put together.

Be sure to check out Heffron Drive’s new song below!

Nickelodeon's ‘Shimmer And Shine’ To Include ‘A Little Bit of Dubai’

Eager little hands stretched to the sky in a race to answer questions about Nickelodeon's hit CG-animated preschool series Shimmer and Shine in a magical pop quiz composed by the show's very own creator, Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz.

The quiz came as part of Charmatz’ meet- and –greet session at Dubai’s annual Market Outside the BOX event (MOTB). This revealed the middle-eastern fan base of Shimmer and Shine. The children displayed excellent general knowledge of the show and were rewarded with presents.

“Shimmer and Shine is inspired by the Middle East, because obviously I am Middle Eastern, and as a creator, you always put a lot of yourself in what you do,” the Iranian-American Charmatz told Al Arabiya English.

A magical world

The show is a culmination of cultural aesthetics and designs assembled to create a magical world full of fun, glitter, and fantasy. The characters, Shimmer and Shine, are dressed in eye-catching outfits based on genie folklore, rather than one specific cultural attire.

The animation has a general oriental feel and includes characters with Middle Eastern names, such as Princess Samira. In addition, Charmatz revealed that at some point, the art direction would be inspired by Dubai’s Miracle Gardens, known to be the world’s largest display of natural flowers. “It was so beautiful, eventually you will be seeing a little bit of Dubai in Shimmer and Shine at some point”, explains Charmatz.

The two characters - Shimmer and Shine - are a pair of rookie genies who can’t seem to accurately employ their human friend, Leah’s, magic wishes.

— Farnaz Esnaashari (@FarnazEsnaasha1) June 19, 2016

Charmatz believes that “children should know that it is fine to make mistakes, and I hope the show empowers them to make a good situation from a bad one”.

It takes eight to nine months to complete one episode of this Nickelodeon show. “It’s like having a baby every time”, compares Charmatz. Her team may end up working on five different episodes per day to complete at least 40 episodes in just a year and-a-half.

The animator told Al Arabiya English that her favorite part of the process is the impact it has on her audience. “I cannot begin to explain how amazing it is to imagine something and see it come to life only to see kids connecting and falling in love with it and the characters’’.

Shimmer and Shine creator and producer Farnaz Charmatz with Saudi Hip-hop artist and MC, Big Hass at the MOTB event in Dubai.

Farnaz Esnaashari-Charmatz and her now-husband, Sean Charmatz, became involved with Nickelodeon Animation Studio as interns when they were animation students at CSUF 15 years ago.

Esnaashari-Charmatz, who grew up in Irvine, was one of the first post-production interns at Nickelodeon, an experience she looks back on fondly.

"There was this nostalgic feeling of having grown up on Nickelodeon and on top of that, there was a real sense of family and unity," she told The Orange County Register in 2016. "The head of the studio knew my name as an intern and made sure to know everybody's names; there was a real sense of belonging."

Shortly after completing her internship, Esnaashari-Charmatz heard of a job opportunity by Charmatz, who had since then been employed by the studio. He now works at Nick as the supervising director of social media production on Pinky Malinky, a mockumentary series following the everyday life of Pinky Malinky, an infectiously positive hot dog living in a human world.

Esnaashari-Charmatz applied and was offered the position of production assistant at the studio, working on My Life as a Teenage Robot.

Soon thereafter, she took on the role of post production coordinator for preschool age-themed shows like Go, Diego, Go! and Dora the Explorer. She would go on to become a post production supervisor for the shows, as well as work on animation shorts.

She fell in love with the way Dora influenced children all around the globe, and, while on maternity leave in 2008, Esnaashari-Charmatz began developing her own animated series. Along with her husband and co-workers, she pitched show ideas.

Being turned down a number of times by the studio didn't discourage Esnaashari-Charmatz – it only further served as motivation to keep creating. From 2008 to 2012, she brainstormed and created. Then, it happened. In 2012, Esnaashari-Charmatz's Shimmer and Shine was picked up by the studio. "There were a lot of different variations of the show until it finally got to a place where it felt right," she said.

Charmatz hopes her show illustrates what it means to be resilient in addition to promoting kindness, compassion and teamwork among children.
