JHS News!
Hispanic Heritage Month
Students in Thomas Tarchine’s Spanish classes are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! Each student researched a country from the Spanish speaking world and created an informational sheet. Students then circulated the classroom and learned a little about each country and its Independence Day.
Field of Flags Campaign
This Veterans Day we are partnering with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) to host a Field of Flags campaign. This initiative allows us to honor veterans in a meaningful way, answer are hoping to fill the field area near Kyserike Road with flags.
We are accepting donations for flags until October 28. After that, the DAV will send us the number of flags corresponding to the donations received. The week before Veterans Day, we will assemble the field and hold a special ceremony with music from our band. We are also inviting local veterans and members of Ms. OConnor's dad's DAV group (he is a Vietnam veteran and involved with the DAV in Dutchess County, who have generously donated $500 toward this project).
Please contact Ms. OConnor for more information.
