The Family and Consumer Science classes, under the guidance of Mrs. Galvin-Bliefernich, showcased their culinary prowess at our recent BOE meeting. The students prepared an exquisite selection of appetizers and desserts that delighted all in attendance. Their creations were not only visually appealing but also very delicious! This culinary display is a testament to the high quality of education and practical skills being imparted in the Family and Consumer Science program and at Eldred Junior Senior High School!

Dear Eldred Community,
At 1:50 pm we went into a lockout due to a posted social media threat that the district received today. We understand the concerns this may have caused and want to assure you that we are taking this matter very seriously. The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office is thoroughly investigating this matter with the utmost diligence.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. As a precaution, we have increased police presence at dismissal at the JSHS school today by having heightened security it will delay dismissal for both buildings. The enhanced security is in place to ensure the continued safety of everyone in our community.
We want to thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to maintain a safe and welcoming environment and for your continued partnership in ensuring the safety of our school community.
Sincerely,
Traci Ferreira, Superintendent of Schools

Olivia Gonzalez and Koen McGill spent the day at Mount Saint Mary College at the Student-Athlete Leadership Summit. This summit was to promote and support the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee's development and growth in the Hudson Valley. The focus of today was Leadership and the Importance of Student Voice.
Students in Mr. Ward's Social Studies classes turned into budding entrepreneurs, teaming up to present their chosen Industrial Revolution invention Shark Tank Style to a group of "Sharks" consisting of Administrators, teachers, and staff from JSHS. This engaging activity brought history to life but also fostered critical thinking, public speaking skills, and an entrepreneurial spirit among the students. Nice job by all!
