JHS News!
Classroom Library
Students in Mr. Ugolino’s English classes are enjoying their classroom library space, thanks to a generous grant from the Rondout Valley Education Foundation. The grant purchased a comfy bench, bean bag chairs, a cozy rug, and even some plants to create the perfect reading nook. They also have a new camera that can be used to capture student work directly from the classroom. Students are already loving the space and making the most of it!
Home & Careers
In Ms. Backman-Fleischer's Home & Careers classes, students are making homemade bread! After baking the bread, the students get to eat the bread they made. Yum!

All students will be participating in gym class starting 9/26 so even if you’re unable to attend that day, donations will help get us to our goal. We are currently at 28% of our overall goal this year!
