Last week was School Board Appreciation Week. I would like to thank the Hudson Falls CSD Board of Education for everything they do for our entire school community. Mr. Gaulin, Dr. Steele, Mrs. Borlang, Mr. Keenan, Mrs. Landsman, Mrs. Andrejkovics, Mrs. Grimaldi, Mr. Canini, Mr. Fitzgerald, it has been a pleasure working with you. Please join me in passing these folks a sincere thank you for their commitment to education.
Highlighting Excellence
The Hudson Falls Central School District in conjunction with the Sandy Hill Chapter of the National Honor Society Induction will hold its twenty-second annual Wall of Distinction Induction on Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 11:30 a.m in the High School Auditorium. Honoring student achievement is a highlight of every educator and welcoming new NHS and Wall of Distinction members is a testament to student success both past and present.
The Wall of Distinction’s intent is to establish a tradition that honors highly successful graduates who have gone on to distinguished careers in various fields or who have become role models in the community. The Wall also demonstrates to students and the community the caliber of students produced by the Hudson Falls School District. The Wall of Distinction provides inspiration and motivation for students to excel.
Wall of Distinction inductees for 2024 include:
- Timothy Horrigan, ’71, Musician and Teacher
- Robert K. Chatel Jr., ’67, Teacher/Professor
- David A. Chatel, ’68, Public Health American Heart Association
- Peter C. Chatel, ’74, Environmental Specialist/Consultant
- Brooke Goff, ’05, Attorney, Owner of Goff Law Group
- Joseph Gross, ’83, Business Owner, Gross Electric
Parade Route
We will be celebrating Halloween at the Primary School on Thursday, October 31 with an outside parade. Spectators are welcome. The parade will start at 10:00 a.m. It will begin outside of the first grade wing at the back of the building and travel along the side of the school by the gym. The students will re-enter the building through the front doors. The parade will be canceled if it is raining.
Repeat Performance
Highlighted in last week’s Talking HF Tigers but worth another reminder that this weekend, The Hudson Falls Senior High School Drama Club and the Thespian Troupe 1019 will offer three shows of Fred Carmichael’s Done To Death. Performances will be Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the High School auditorium. The final performance will be a matinee on Sunday, October 27 at 2:00 p.m.. Tickets will be available at the door for $10 each and will be sold at each show.
