The Family and Consumer Science classes, under the guidance of Mrs. Galvin-Bliefernich, showcased their culinary prowess at our recent BOE meeting. The students prepared an exquisite selection of appetizers and desserts that delighted all in attendance. Their creations were not only visually appealing but also very delicious! This culinary display is a testament to the high quality of education and practical skills being imparted in the Family and Consumer Science program and at Eldred Junior Senior High School!

Dear Eldred Community,
At 1:50 pm we went into a lockout due to a posted social media threat that the district received today. We understand the concerns this may have caused and want to assure you that we are taking this matter very seriously. The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office is thoroughly investigating this matter with the utmost diligence.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. As a precaution, we have increased police presence at dismissal at the JSHS school today by having heightened security it will delay dismissal for both buildings. The enhanced security is in place to ensure the continued safety of everyone in our community.
We want to thank you for your ongoing support as we work together to maintain a safe and welcoming environment and for your continued partnership in ensuring the safety of our school community.
Sincerely,
Traci Ferreira, Superintendent of Schools
The day is here!

Students in Mr. Ward's Social Studies classes turned into budding entrepreneurs, teaming up to present their chosen Industrial Revolution invention Shark Tank Style to a group of "Sharks" consisting of Administrators, teachers, and staff from JSHS. This engaging activity brought history to life but also fostered critical thinking, public speaking skills, and an entrepreneurial spirit among the students. Nice job by all!
Eldred JSHS SRO Deputy Sean Grady addressed 7th and 8th graders on the importance of online safety in Mrs. Drewett's and Ms. Newfield's Study Skills classes. They discussed the potential risks associated with sharing personal information, accepting friend requests from strangers, and engaging with cyberbullying. The officer emphasized the importance of strong passwords, privacy settings, and responsible online behavior. The students have been studying the importance of online safety and their digital footprint. Thank you to Deputy Grady, Mrs. Drewett, and Ms. Newfield!

7th graders were crocheting and weaving during class today! The best part is they all were working as a team towards a common goal!
More Ashokan fun! The 7th graders will be heading home today, but are still doing some great things at The Ashokan Center!

Nice job!
