Surprise!

Mrs. Gibney' big surprise!

perfect fit

out with the old

Thanks to the efforts of Craig Wilkinson, who secured donations from Dr. Paul Puccio, Schodack PBA and Rocky Petrocelli of Rocky's Music, the Middle School music department received the 30 guitar cases.  The new soft-sided cases replace the cardboard cases that have been being used.

"What a great surprise!" Mrs. Gibney said. "I am constantly overwhelmed by the kindness of the Maple Hill community. The students were very excited to put their guitars away in real cases.

 

THANK YOU!

Findings included data from both districts on educational programs, enrollment projections and property tax estimations to discern the feasibility of combining both districts into one reorganized district.

Grace - a eulogy

Farewell Sweet Gracie 

June 5, 2012 at 7:45 am by Jim Letzelter

With the blessing of her parents, I am posting the eulogy I delivered yesterday. There’s no way to be prepared to write one for a 14-year-old girl, and this was difficult. I hope this in some ways helps those who knew Grace to heal, and for those who did not know her to get a sense of the person she was.

For Grace Antoinette Maney, August 20, 1997 – May 31, 2012
