School Budget Vote and Board Election - May 21

The East Greenbush CSD has proposed a school budget for 2024-25 that maintains all programs and services with a 0.55% tax levy increase, which is within the NYS Property Tax Cap. Residents will also vote on a $116 million capital project that would improve school facilities and grounds across the district with no impact to local taxpayers, the replacement of eight school buses, which if approved by voters, will be fully paid for by the Bus Purchase Reserve Fund, and elect three individuals to the Board of Education.

Students Learn About Sled Dogs and the Iditarod

Students meet a Siberian Husky named Almanzo at a special program about sled dogs on Tuesday at Red Mill Elementary School.

Red Mill 3rd grade students met a Siberian Husky named Almanzo at school on Tuesday as part of a visit from Run by Dogs, a company that trains and cares for sled dogs. The visit supplemented what students had learned in class about the Iditarod through lessons and reading “Stone Fox” by John Reynolds Gardinier.

Students sat in a circle in the band room where they met Almanzo and got to see dog sleds up close.

“Our students learned about the huskies and their training, and had an opportunity to meet and interact with one of the dogs,” said Red Mill 3rd grade teacher Heather Zeccolo. “The students even got the chance to take on the role of the sled dogs themselves!”

Special thanks to Run by Dogs for visiting Red Mill!
