2010 Fall Classic Road Race and Walk
2010 5K Fall Classic Road Race and Walk
Since October 2001, the Voorheesville Community and School Foundation Board has organized a 5K Fall Classic Road Race and Walk. The proceeds raised go to benefit various organizations throughout the school and local community. The first year, the funds raised were donated to the Voorheesville High School to purchase much needed track equipment. The funds raised in subsequent years have supported many clubs and organizations in the school as well as the local community.
At a Board or Education meeting of the Voorheesville Central School District a grant from the Foundation was given for the purpose of purchasing technology equipment. This was done in conjunction with the Voorheesville Parent and Teacher Association. At that meeting Superintendent Linda Langevin received two checks amounting to $5,000 from each organization to be used for the purpose of acquiring new technology equipment including computer linked white boards and projectors. In action by the Board of Education, it gratefully accept the donations.
The Foundation recently awarded two grants amounting to a total of $10,800 to the Voorheesville Elementary School. The first grant of $10,000 will be used to create a list of best practices in teaching methods and assessment of those methods for the purpose of helping students to improve their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, and to take a more active role in learning.
Since its inception in 1999, the Voorheesville Community and School Foundation has sought to enhance the educational, cultural, athletic and organizational opportunities for the students and communities of the Voorheesville Central School District. Below is a partial list of grants that have been given.
