Busy Times in Schoharie

SCHOHARIE - Though the school year is entering its final stages, it is still busy at both Schoharie elementary and junior-senior high school.

At the school board's April 23 meeting, elementary school teacher Megan Langan outlined the goings on in the schools for April.

Among the April goings on were:

* The high school statistics class worked on several hypotheses including which brand of chocolate chip cookies had the most chips and global warming.

* Eighth grader Max Rosenthal went to the Capital Region science program at RPI.

* Students in Mrs. Vickers' class celebrated Earth Day with worms and a visitor from Hessian Hill Farm.

* High school student Caroline Borst is a finalist for FFA president.

* Ninth graders did experiments about shapes.

* Mrs. Ebert's class welcomed families ate green eggs and ham.

* Mrs. Langan's class is raising money for the Schoharie Valley Animal Shelter and will take a field trip there in May.

In other action, board members:

* Heard that the recent Community Engagement Night was well attended and featured a talk with a State Trooper about anger management, suicide awareness, and other issues. Another engagement night was held on April 30 to discuss strategic plans and districts goals on a parent education night.
