RPC WEEKLY UPDATE
May 2, 2024
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of Joseph Coughlin (Rt 017) this past weekend. He has been a driver for the Suffern Central community for over ten years and may be known to many of you. He was the driver of Rt 028 for most of his driving career and switched to Rt 017 this school year.
I do not have any additional information to share as he lived alone and has no known relatives.
Diversity Night
Last night we came together as a school community for Diversity Night. Diversity Night is an opportunity to learn more about the various cultures that comprise us. The special event is made possible by the families. Last night we sampled food, watched a Haitian dance learned how to make yarn dolls and much more. Thank you once again for making our community so special!
