From The Old Photo Album Remembering the Blizzard of 1977

In this photo we find Sam Mogavero and a helper, shoveling snow off the Farnham School steps during Blizzard of 1977. Wow – that’s a pile of snow! Sam Mogavero was custodian at the Farnham School which was located on the corner of Route 5 and Commercial Street (where the Dollar General Store stands today). This photo along with other items, was donated to the historical society by Don and Diane Mogavero.

Members of the Brant Town Board hosted the Tree Lighting Ceremony. Pictured (L-R) are Janice Ross, Donna Marien, Santa Claus (not a board member!), Mike Muffoletto & Supervisor Mark DeCarlo.

Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Brant Town Hall

The Brant Town Board hosted their 3rd annual tree lighting ceremony at the Brant Town Hall on December 4th, 2022. After members of the board decorated the tree with lights, Father Frank Kadryna of Parish of Our Lady Church, Brant, N.Y. said a special blessing for the Christmas tree. Brant resident Joe Gardegyn was selected as the “Official Tree Lighter” this year.

It was a bitter cold winter evening, however quite a few hardy people were in attendance - with the young folks very excited to meet with Santa Claus! A school bell announced the arrival of jolly old Santa just prior to the tree lighting ceremony. Santa listened intently to everyone’s Christmas “wish lists”, posed for photos and provided each visitor with a candy filled cane, before saying goodnight with a robust “HO HO HO”. Hot cocoa and treats were available throughout the event.

SCS Celebrates Catholic Schools Week

To celebrate Catholic Schools Week here at Southtowns Catholic School, we have been having fun with themed dress-down days such as: "Dress as You Dream Job" and decades day. In the afternoons, we have had entertaining activities for the students and staff to participate in. We saw the Principal and Assistant Principal get pied in the face by students, we shook things up a bit and did a teacher swap, and there was a school-wide game of BINGO. We even had a student vs. faculty basketball game where the students ultimately took home a win. The teachers did not walk away empty-handed, they went home very sore and very tired.
