BARNEGAT — 'Bengal Aid,' a new humanitarian group, has developed at the high school.

The idea came about when Barnegat High School junior, Omolara Ogunye, met with Superintendent Thomas C. McMahon to discuss ways to better help the community — as well as bringing its residents closer together.

'I've worked with and served on the boards of many charities over the years, and wanted to use my influences and experience to bring a sense of philanthropy to our high school students,' said McMahon. 'I knew that Omolara was the right student to speak with about this because she had expressed a similar interest toward the end of last year.'"
