Congratulations to Livia Fronckowiak on being inducted into the National Technical Honor Society. Livia was presented her sash by her Cosmetology Instructor, Sarah Pellizzari, at the ceremony, held at the NCOC campus on Wednesday, April 2nd.
Ms. Kim Smith’s 5th-grade class has been busy with a hands-on science project—hatching baby chicks! The students incubated 18 eggs and successfully welcomed 10 fluffy new arrivals into the world.
This incredible learning experience was made possible by egg donations from Mrs. Balcom and Mrs. Beth Smith. The class studied the life cycle of a chick, learned how to care for them, and ensured they stayed healthy and growing.
The first chick to hatch was affectionately named Shaboozy, while Rocky was the last to make an entrance. Some chicks even have three names thanks to the creative minds in the class!
Great job, 5th graders, on this egg-citing adventure!

Letter from Superintendent Osterhoudt
The Margaretville chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) attended the New York State Leadership Conference at the Villa Roma Resort in Calicoon, NY March 26-28th.
Twenty-two MCS students, with their Advisor Kate Van Benschoten and chaperones Julia Marks and Liam Schoonmaker, joined thirteen other schools and approximately 240 students from across the state. They participated in educational workshops and received inspiring motivation from keynote speaker Lasada Pippen, and brought home 2 bronze, 2 silver, and 4 gold medals.
Eight MCS students competed in STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition), which are highly competitive events, requiring months of work and preparation. Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals are earned, reflecting the scores on their work.
Many students were not only first time competitors, but even first time attendees to the state conference. Bronze medals were awarded to Addison Passarelli and Julia Balcom Salazar who both competed in the Career Investigation category, Level 1. Silver medals were awarded to Patrick McLoughlin and Sadie Smith who both competed in Cupcake Decorating, Level 1. Gold medals were earned by the team of Danielle Sanford and Matthew Greene in the Culinary Arts, Level 1 event, and also to Bella Andre in the Cake Decorating, Level 3 event. Both of these were a first-time achievement for gold in these categories in Margaretville's history. A gold medal was also awarded to LilliAnn Van Benschoten in Fashion Construction, Level 2. Additionally, Van Benschoten was granted an invitation to compete at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL this coming July based on the quality of her garment and presentation.
Addison Passarelli completed a year of serving as a Junior Leader in the organization, which included attending the 2024 Summer Leadership program and the 2024 Fall Leadership Meeting, taking educational workshops and assisting with event planning for the state conference.
Students enjoyed a formal banquet and dance, networking with other kids from across the state, and workshops on topics such as stress management, digital fingerprints with the NYS Police, and travel and hospitality. Advisor Kate Van Benschoten looks forward to working with students beginning in September 2025 on plans for next year's state conference.
