Welcome to our Page!

Hello fellow students, teachers, and parents!  We are Project P.E.A.C.E. (Public Education and Community Empowerment) of Mind, the Community Problem Solving based in Mahwah High School. This year, our main focus is to work to help promote wellness by reducing stress in our Mahwah community. We have some pretty cool in order to reach our overarching goal, but first it’s important that you know a little bit about who we are.

Project P.E.A.C.E. is made up of 8 goal driven students of great diversity. Here are the members of our team divided by team:

Coach: Mr. Justin Saputski

Project Manager: Caitie Pavon

Caitie is a senior at MHS and has a lot of experience in regards to future problem solving. She is easily the most experienced member of the squad and a very strong leader for the group.  Caitie is also part of the renowned MHS band and can pretty much always be seen with a smile on her face.

Tech Team: Jaiveer Bhasin

Jaiveer, like Caitie, has had significant experience as a future problem solver. He is also a senior and is an avid New York Rangers and New York Knicks fan. He’s one that you would expect to be in attendance for a key hockey game at Madison Square Garden.

Tech Team: Robert Al-Moustafa

Unlike Caitie and Jay, Rob is sort of a newcomer in regards to future problem solving; however, he has started to settle in along with Jay as part of the tech team. Rob is also a senior and was a member of the MHS Boys’ Soccer team. Moreover, he is an aspiring Penn State Nittany Lion.

Creative Team: Griffin Charyn

Griffin , our last senior of the group, has  had his fair share of experience as a future problem solver. He is also a very skilled musician, earning regional and statewide recognition for his excellence. He aspires to attend college and major in music.

Creative Team: Allyson Damate

Ally, like Griffin, has also had her fair share of experience. She is the only junior in the group and she plays five different instruments (one of them being her voice). Pretty cool, eh?

Creative Team: Brianna Stoohs

Brianna is the youngest of the bunch as a freshman. Don’t be fooled; however, because she has experience in FPS, participating in project challenge down at the middle school. While she may still be adapting to high school life, her position as a member of the creative team is solid.

Secretary (Data Owner): Emma Maley

Emma: Emma is a sophomore at Mahwah who has been entrusted as one of the secretaries of Project PEACE. She is an organized individual who also has a splash of experience as a problem solver. Furthermore, she is a part of the MHS Girls Volleyball team that performed phenomenally, especially at the Nest. The sun never sets, people.

Secretary (Data Owner): Matt Trevisani

Like Emma, Matt is also a sophomore and a secretary for the squad. He is a very ambitious individual who has high hopes for the future. He also isn't afraid to put on a suit on a casual Friday morning.  Moreover, Matt is a part of the MHS band.

On behalf of everyone on our team, we would like to welcome you to our blog!
