Several months ago, the Disney Company, in conjunction with the Hands On Network announced that a free admission to the Disney Parks would be given to each registered volunteer who performed a volunteer service for an enrolled charitable organization.
The Stockbridge Valley Educational Foundation was enrolled with Hands On in the Disney program and posted the recent Dinner Theater as a "opportunity" for registered volunteers.
Well, the dinner was a great success and so was the program. We had 13 volunteers from other communities around the state show up and work with us on both sessions of the dinner and they were a tremendous help to the Foundation members, washing dishes, preparing beverages and just generally doing what ever was needed.
The day before the dinner we received notice that the program was no longer allowing registrations, that they had met their goal of signing up or awarding park tickets to one million volunteers.
This is a good example of a major corporation reaching out to benefit even small organizations and communities like our own.
It was a pleasure meeting the volunteers and we are grateful for their help.

Both the JV and Varsity boys basketball teams had exciting wins against Brookfield tonight. The JV team showed their strong defensive skills, holding their lead at the half of 28-12 through the end of the game where the score was 45-28. The team's 5th win of the season was in part to Ryan Thorna's "amazing plays" said Coach Kilian with a laugh. The Varsity team pulled through after the half when they were behind 25-19. The boys played strong and walked away with a 50-43 win for their last game of the season. Good luck to the Varsity basketball team at sectionals and congratulations to all seniors who played this year.

Today the Post Standard is reporting that U.S. News & World Reports has published its National Rankings of Top High Schools in the nation.
Schools are honored for their ability to educate the general population, minority and economically distressed students as well as those that are college bound.
In New York State, 122 schools received honors, in Central NY only two schools received Silver Awards and Stockbridge received a Bronze.
This is wonderful news. Out of the hundreds of schools in the state, SVCS was recognized.
Congratulations to the Community, Administration and Faculty and Staff at the School.
