Dear Nanuet Community,

This month's Golden Spotlight shines on our Nanuet Knightronz robotics team. Our talented students and their dedicated teachers recently competed in the Hudson Valley FIRST Robotics Competition at Rockland Community College. Their impressive problem-solving skills, showcased in designing and operating their robot, highlight the importance of 21st-century competencies like collaboration, teamwork, ingenuity, and perseverance—essential qualities for success in any post-secondary path. We are incredibly proud of their achievements!

As we move forward into the months ahead, we look forward to celebrating the many accomplishments of our students. We hope to see you at upcoming events as we honor their hard work and dedication during this wonderful school year.

Sincerely,
Lisa Brady, Ed.D.
Superintendent
