Byron-Bergen schools share holiday spirit throughout the community
Byron-Bergen Central School District supported the community’s local Hesperus Lodge No. 837 & Accepted Mason efforts during the annual Community Holiday Project. The project concluded with: monetary donations totaling over $2,300 to purchase toys for children; food baskets for 87 homes; fruit baskets to an additional 23 individuals; toys and gifts for 24 children; and gift cards for six families.
“From athletes and other students to parents and community members to faculty and staff, this project was truly a total Byron-Bergen effort,” said Teacher Kerri Smith.
The Middle and High Schools have shared the musical talents of their students throughout December with holiday concerts led by Chorus Teacher Laurence Tallman and Band Teachers Kevin Bleiler and Bob Lancia. The Color Guard, under the direction of Donna McJury, also performed.
The Elementary School also has been sharing holiday spirit with its Sing-along, December 22, for students, staff, families and the community. All grade levels participated in the musical event led by music teacher Karen Tischer.
