Congrats to the Class of 2009!
The 174th Graduation Ceremony for Schoharie
Central was held on Saturday, June 26th. Congratulations to our
graduates and to their family members and friends who have helped
them achieve this wonderful milestone. Our best wishes for an
enjoyable summer and a productive and rewarding career.
Track Completion Delayed by Weather
(updated)
OK, we jinxed it. The rainy weather has delayed
the final coat of paint and painting of the lane lines. The first
coat of red surface binder (very sticky) has been placed on the
track but the final surface coat and painting can't be done until
the weather breaks (at this rate it could be sometime in August or
September). We'll announce the completion here as soon as it is
ready for use. A big "thank
you" to all who have donated their time, and for their
monetary contributions to make this project a success.
State Funding for New Universal Pre-K Programs "Frozen" until 2011 - 2012 School Year
The District was informed on June 10th, that all
funding statewide for Universal Pre-K programs has been frozen at
2008-09 levels. New programs will likely not be funded until the
2011 school year according to SED officials. The district was able
to utilize the awarded UPK Planning Grant in preparation for the
newly proposed program and this will assist us in implementing a
program as soon funding becomes available (pending Board approval).
Newly purchased equipment for the classroom will be used by our
current kindergarten program.
Schoharie Teachers and the 3 ‘R’s’: Running, Racing, and Revitalizing
Fitness and fun were combined once again this year
as a record 21 teachers ran the GHI Corporate Challenge in Albany.
The fastest male runner, Dave Russell, and the fastest female
runner, Erika Loucks, lead the way for the many participating
Schoharie teams. This year’s race held a record 7,700 participants,
all ready to run under unusually warm skies, but none as eager as
our Schoharie teachers. Congratulations on a great race, Team
Schoharie!
"Empty Bowls" Dinner a Success
For the past several weeks, 9th Grade Advisory
Students have been working on various community service projects,
one of which is called “Empty Bowls”. Empty bowls is an organization
that helps raise money to fight hunger in local communities.
Students created handmade ceramic bowls to be used for
this very purpose. The bowls are a symbolic reminder of the reality
that there are people that don't always have food to fill their
bowls. On May 29th, the 9th Grade Advisory Group
sponsored an "Empty Bowls" dinner event, which helped to
raise $200 for the cause!
