Special thanks today to our outstanding instrumental music students for their help in honoring our fallen soldiers this Memorial Day in the Fleischmanns and Margaretville parades.
Today, we pause to honor and remember.
This Memorial Day, the let us reflect with gratitude for the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, commitment, and selflessness will never be forgotten.
School Board members Matt Steen, Marc Osterweil and Doris Warner have been recognized by the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) for their continued professional development and service.
This recognition is a testament to their unwavering belief in growth, good governance, and doing what’s right for kids.
Serving on a school board is often a thankless job, but today—we pause to say thank you and congratulations!
Margaretville is better because of their leadership.

MCS has again teamed up with the Catskill Water Discovery Center to kick off Camp H2O. 6th graders dove into all aspects of the Catskill Mt. Watershed. After being introduced to the importance of watershed across the world, and the flooding events of 2011, students traveled to the Village Park Pavillion for a day of exploration including stream life, flooding benefits and challenges, and strategies to mitigate flooding. They heard of the practical and economic challenges of flood clean up, studied a topographic map of Margaretville depicting the tie between elevation measurement and the understanding of flood threats in the village. After touring the village to see flood mitigation efforts first hand, they worked in teams to design and build a flood mitigation system that would reduce the damage of flood waters, and keep their "house" dry. They had fun watching each of the flood mitigation design "tested" to determine if they met the standards set. The day was made possible by energetic volunteers including Mayor John Hubbell, Stream management expert Rudd Hubbell and retired educator Barbara Hubbell and a collection of area volunteers.
The H2O experience continues as students hear stories of the watershed from Dr. Bill Birns. Students will then be supported by science teacher Evette Garofolo, ELA teacher Max Brandt, and Art teacher Katy DiBenedetto to create an original story, poem, essay, or piece of art that depicts their connection to the Watershed. Student work will be celebrated in a display at the Catskill Water Discovery Center in the fall!
