Stockbridge Valley Educational Foundation

Eggstra, Eggstra, Eggstra!  The Stockbridge Valley Ruritans and the Stockbridge Valley Select Choir are attempting to claim the title for the most plastic eggs dropped and raced down a creek.  This event will be held at the Annual Ruritan Community Fair on Saturday, July 24, 2010 at Carlon Field in Munnsville, New York.  Purchase an egg for a chance to win $500!  Eggs are $5 each or 5 eggs for $20.  Plenty of other prizes including gift certificates and donated items will be given away. 

Eggs are available at the reception desk of all Utica School of Commerce Campuses, Time for Me Day Spa in Kirkland, Between Us Sisters in Munnsville, St. Patrick’s Thrift Shoppe in Oneida, The Barnyard Swing in Cooperstown, What’s the Scoop in Sylvan Beach, JB’s Small Engine Works in Schuyler as well as special events all around the area.  Look for us at Bike Night, Old Car Night and of course at the Stockbridge Valley Community Fair.  Adopt a racing egg and be a part of this fabulous world record attempt.  

The purpose of this event is to help the Stockbridge Valley Select Choir fund a trip to Walt Disney World where they have been invited to sing.   Come, have a good time and help the kids out!

Daily Announcements will be posted again starting in September.

The Elementary Student Council is sponsoring a week long event to raise money and gather food items for our local food pantry.  We are having a coin drive as well as daily themes to gather food items for the Munnsville Food Bank.

The coin drive will run from Monday, June 14 - Friday, June 18 and the total will be collected on Friday.

Each day will have a different theme and the cost to participate will be $1.00 or one non-perishable food item.  If a student brings in $1.00 that money can be added to your total for the coin drive.

All canned goods and coins will be counted on Friday.

There will be a reward for the ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM that has the highest monetary total raised as well as the ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM that has the highest food item total.

Here is a list of themes for the week:

MONDAY:  Crazy Hat Day

TUESDAY: Mismatch Day

WEDNESDAY: Twin Day (find a friend and dress alike)

THURSDAY:  Pajama Day

FRIDAY:  A Day at the Beach (no swimsuits) Sunglasses, flip flops, visors, shorts & t-shirts.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS LOCAL CAUSE!

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.
