THANK YOU community members! Our music students were on a mission to use their skills to raise enough funds in one event so that they dont need to burden students and families next year again with other fundraising efforts, which also clears space for other activity clubs who rely on those efforts to be more successful as well.
Mission accomplished! Such a wonderful evening to host arts-supporters, to thank music students, volunteers, and staff with free concert tickets, and to come together under one roof as a community.
Special thanks to Garth Kravits for hosting such an entertaining evening, Cafe Marguerite for the delicious Catering, and the Herculean volunteer efforts of student, parent, and staff volunteers.
Everyone wins when we shine a spotlight on these outstanding kids.
More pictures to come!

Dear Margaretville Families and Community,
We want to provide you with an important update regarding the social media threat that impacted our school today. After a thorough investigation that began in the early morning hours and continued into the afternoon, the individual responsible for making the threat has been located and identified. All necessary appropriate actions within the scope of the law have been addressed and the district is taking appropriate steps in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct to address the incident.
We are deeply grateful for the swift and diligent work of the New York State Police and their partnership throughout the investigation. Their efforts played a critical role in resolving this matter and helping us return to a sense of safety and calm.
We recognize that today’s events caused fear, frustration, and uncertainty for many in our school community. We also understand that the limited information we were able to share during the investigation may have added to that stress. Please know that this was necessary to maintain the integrity of the investigation and to ensure everyone’s safety.
We appreciate those who came forward to report their concerns. We encourage all students, staff, families, and community members to continue reporting any safety concerns directly to school officials or by using the anonymous Sandy Hook Say Something hotline.

Brooklyn teacher, Jeanne Salchli and I are on our 8th year of participating in a Green Connections partnership where we have been facilitating exchanges between upstate and Brooklyn students providing a unique opportunity for students to grow academically, social-emotionally and civically by fostering mutual understanding of each other, each other’s ways of life, and the two contrasting, yet interconnected environments in which they live.
The goal of the Green Connections programs is to meaningfully connect students from NYC and the NYC Watershed through personal communication and shared experiences with NYC water supply system from forest to tap.
In October, 5th grade went to NYC to meet their pen-pals for the first time. Students had the opportunity to experience riding a fairy boat to Governor's Island and then sailing on the historic Schooner, around the Statue of Liberty.
Last week, Brooklyn students came upstate to visit us. We toured the Pepacton Reservoir and studied water and nature all around us. Students were able to experience first hand the importance of taking care of the very water they drink.
It was an amazing experience for all, and we look forward to doing this all over again next year.
The Class of 2026 hosted their Enchanted Forest Junior Prom on Saturday, June 31st, at the Hanah Mtn. Resort and Country Club. We would like to thank all the parents that made delicious desserts, the staff at Hanah, our DJ, Dennis Herrera, our chaperones and to Joan Lawrence-Bauer for some great photos. Everyone looked amazing and a wonderful evening was had by all.
On May 28th, the Life Skills Class took a field trip to the VIA Aquarium, followed by a game of bowling, and topping it off with a stop at the Deli for ice cream. A fun educational day in which students learned about the numerous varieties of fish and where they live, and how to bowl.
The 2025 Girls on the Run 5K starts soon at Neahwa Park in Oneonta! Our MCS runners are led by Mrs. Eisenbeil and Mrs. Pacheco. Let's go, girls!
