This past month, the HS cafeteria received a brand
new milk cooler for the serving line FREE! This particular cooler is
valued at over $3,000. Each year the American Dairy Association and
Dairy Council, Inc. (ADADC) offers schools an opportunity to win a
milk cooler by participating in a Milk Temperature Survey. The
surveys are part of an effort to see that milk is served cold to
students. This fall, our school’s Milk Temperature Survey submission
was selected to win the new milk cooler! Last spring, the milk
cooler in the HS Cafeteria (which was about ten years old), had a
compressor failure and could not be repaired. SCS Lunch Manager,
Josie Ennist, was able to borrow milk bins, with freezable inserts,
from another local school to serve milk until a new milk cooler
could be purchased. Winning the milk cooler was terrific news for
our food service staff! To celebrate this wonderful gift from ADADC,
the HS Cafeteria had Florence Selin, DTR, SNS, Consultant for Child
Nutrition from ADADC, come to SCS with a giant inflatable cow.
Students enjoyed complimentary yogurt parfaits, served with lunch,
and had an opportunity to sample new foods and complete a school
meal survey. Feedback from the surveys will be used to plan future
school meal menus! State Comptroller Issues Audit Follow-up Report On Friday, January 22, 2010, the Office of the
State Comptroller issued to the District, it's follow-up report to
the comprehensive audit that was completed in February of 2008. We
are very pleased with the content of the report and even more
pleased to share that since the audit was conducted this past
summer, all recommendations have been completed except for
recommendations 7 and 8 which will be completed shortly. The final
two servers will be moved this summer (too disruptive to operations
to do it now), and the disaster recovery procedure manual for the
equipment we now have in place is currently being written. A copy of
the report can be read by

on December 29th, 2009, the final recognition paperwork was filed.
As a non-profit corporation, the Foundation can now accept
contributions from the public and accept membership which is tax
deductible. The Foundation's goal is to provide our students and the
school district with resources that it normally could not come by in
the regular budget. Those resources could cover anything from
equipment in classrooms, support for field trips, working with the
sports booster clubs on shared interests, or bringing in guest
speakers, etc. A link with more information on the work of the
Foundation, how to join ($10 membership) or how to make donations
will appear here shortly. Many thanks to the individuals who have
made this possible. Stay tuned for more information and contact
data.... Flu Clinic at Schoharie Central a Big Success The school district in cooperation with the
Schoharie County Health Department sponsored a free H1N1
flu shot clinic for students in grades Kindergarten through Twelve,
on December 21st. Over 130 students and staff participated in the
clinic. A big thank you those parents who provided assistance with their children when they were scheduled to be vaccinated. This
was the first time we have scheduled an event of this nature in many,
many years and the program was very successful. Boy's Varsity Soccer Team Wins Class CC Title For the first time in recent memory, the Varsity
