MMCSD eighth-grade students Scott Lonsberry, Liam Moses, Sydney O’Grady, Peyton Tidd, Trinity Tidd, and Chloe White participated in the New York State YMCA Youth and Government Conference in Albany. After three months of preparation, students from across the state attended this three-day experiential learning program, where they served as part of a model state government, debating bills they and their peers had written.
“This conference is a scaffold for leadership. Students travel to the capital and formally debate throughout the morning and into the early evening. This takes place in the State Assembly, State Senate, and committee chambers. It’s a very rewarding experience for those who attend,” said Mr. Gardner, who accompanied the students on the trip.
Congratulations to our November Junior High and Senior High Student of the Month PRIDE Award Winners!
Congratulations to our November Elementary School PRIDE Award winners! Our PRIDE word for December is Trustworthy.

Willy, a sophomore in high school, has had a passion for hockey since he was just 3 years old. “I’ve been really looking forward to this opportunity and I’m excited to join this team and see what happens in the future,” said Willy. His dedication and hard work have led him to this incredible milestone, and we couldn’t be more proud! Don’t miss Willy and the Livingston Lakers in their first game of the season at SUNY Geneseo on Tuesday, 12/3 at 6 PM. Let’s cheer on Willy and the Lakers as they kick off an exciting season!
