Excitement filled the air as Three Village Central School District students headed back to school on Wednesday, Sept. 2. Upon arrival, students were greeted by welcoming staff, teachers and administrators. An enthu-
siasm for learning could be felt throughout all school buildings. This year brings about several new initiatives in the district, including new STEM specialized teachers at the elementary schools, a reinstated
grades four-to-six health education program with certified health teachers and several new electives at the secondary level. These include the restoration of the American Sign Language program and an AP computer
science course. The district is looking forward to a successful year ahead, working with the community’s young scholars and nation’s future leaders. — PHIL CORSO
