Students in our SUNY Plattsburgh Model OAS class earn college credit by working in teams to present a public policy/international relations solution that will help all OAS Member States. Students prepare their presentations throughout the spring semester and then present, debate, and vote on their ideas during three days of meetings on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus. This year all Granville student presentations were successfully approved by students from regional schools participating in the Model OAS program.
Yesterday, 7th grader, Jeffrey Anderson, played fiddle and sang bluegrass/folk songs with his band Cafe Lena Rolling Pebbles at the SPAC Festival of Young Artists.
Great job!

Talent Unlimited is a literary journal through BOCES that annually has an open call to schools in our area for art, both Literary and Visual. They received over 300 entries and from those 300 writers and artists, 2 were selected from our school to be published in this year's journal. Cecil Velez and her beautiful paper mache masks titled "Passing the Torch" were named in connection with her family legacy of making masks made traditionally in Puerto Rico and Kaden Gates for his awe-inspiring poem "Cemetery of My Memory" about trusting one's memories.
Interesting side note. Cecil's sculpture is the first ever 3D piece accepted into Talent Unlimited.
Our 2024 Spring Budget Newsletters will be in mailboxes in the next couple of days. We also have a digital version!
