Before an audience of at least 75 parents, grandparents and friends, 40 students from four SG schools received recognition for their creative efforts in this year’s National PTA Reflections Contest.
The event was held in the Sacandaga Elementary School gymnasium last night,Tuesday, Dec. 4.
The theme of the contest was “Heroes Around Me.” The district-wide winners were students who had competed in building-level contests. They were from the Glendaal, Glen-Worden and Sacandaga elementary schools and the Middle School.
Glen-Worden Principal Nick Criscone handed out certificates to each of the elementary students, Middle School English teacher Alexandra Marquis handed out certificates to each Middle School student, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum Karen Swain presented them with ribbons and Superintendent Susan Swartz gave each student a medal.
Here is the list of all participants at the schools.
The first and second place winners in the district-wide contest now advance to the regional level of PTA competition.
