A Day of Cheer & Competition at Eldred JSHS!
What an incredible Friday! Eldred Junior Senior High School wrapped up the week with a day full of joy, leadership, and a little bit of friendly competition before heading into Winter Break.
The Holly Jolly Trolley
The morning kicked off with our Leadership Team bringing the holiday spirit directly to the classrooms! Our staff enjoyed the Holly Jolly Trolley, featuring a wonderful selection of festive drinks and snacks.
In the spirit of our district-wide Leader in Me initiative, the trolley was led by both teachers and students working together to brighten everyone's day. It was a perfect example of shared leadership in action!
Culture Team Activities & The Big Tournament
Under the direction of our LiM Culture Team, students spent the day participating in various activities throughout the building. The energy reached a fever pitch in the gym for our Second Annual Bill Dill Pickleball Tournament!
The competition was fierce this year, but a huge congratulations goes out to James and Koen for being crowned Back-to-Back Champions!
Happy Holidays!
A massive shoutout to all the students and staff at JSHS for making this Friday so special. We are so proud of the culture of leadership we are building together.
We hope everyone has a restful and wonderful winter break. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from all of us at JSHS!

Fantastic reading energy in Mrs. Logiudice's classroom!
To celebrate her students' success, Mrs. Logiudice created a new bulletin board that displays the book covers of every book students finish during their 10 minutes of independent reading. The students are thrilled to finally finish books cover-to-cover and are making reading a real social event! Students are recommending books to each other, and even asking for more to be added! Mrs. Logiudice will be adding books to the bulletin board as students complete them. Nice job by all!

Eldred and Fallsburg Schools Launch Hope Squad Programs to Support Youth Mental Health
[LIBERTY, NY] - Sullivan 180 is proud to announce the official launch of Hope Squads in the Eldred Central School District and Fallsburg Central School District, marking an important step in expanding peer-based mental health support across Sullivan County schools.
Hope Squad is an evidence-based, peer-to-peer suicide prevention program designed to build a culture of connection, empathy, and help-seeking among youth. Students are nominated by their peers to serve as Hope Squad members and receive specialized training from trusted school advisors. These students work to identify struggling peers, promote kindness, and connect classmates to the help they need.
"Hope squad allowed me to connect, understand and help people on a deeper level", said a Fallsburg Hope Squad member.
The launch of Hope Squads in Eldred and Fallsburg is part of a three-year pilot program supported by the New York State Office of Mental Health and led by Sullivan 180’s Youth Mental Health Program Manager. Both districts have established active Hope Squads at the middle and high school levels, with trained staff and student members ready to begin outreach this fall.
“It has been inspiring to see how much effort both staff and students are putting into the implementation of this program.” Mylene Ortiz, Youth Mental Health Program Manager at Sullivan 180 “I truly believe these students will have a huge impact on their school communities and I cannot wait to see what is in store for the future.”
Beyond their work in schools, Hope Squad members have taken an active role in community outreach, participating in events such as National Night Out and the Out of the Darkness Walk sponsored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). These efforts highlight the commitment of local youth to reducing stigma, promoting hope, and extending mental health awareness beyond the classroom.
To learn more about Hope Squad and SHAPE, email Mylene@sullivan180.org.
Sullivan 180 is working to build a healthy community, one degree at a time, through people, places and policy with support from Bold Gold Media Group, The River Reporter, The Sullivan County Democrat, Manor Ink and WJFF Radio Catskill. Learn more at Sullivan180.org.
