Mahopac Middle School Students Send

Cards to Our Troops

Students in Ann Lyons and Sean Mohammad's classes have been preparing watercolor cards to be sent to our nation's troops serving across the world in combination with the "United For the Troops" donations. The project will offer our troops a small comfort from home while also providing students with a new perspective on what it means to serve so far from home.

"A lot of these cards are going to land in the hands of people who haven't been home in a long time," said Mohammad. "We're trying to give them something that reminds them of home, holidays, and family."

Lakeview Elementary Playground Opens to Students

After much anticipation, Lakeview Elementary students got to spend recess on their brand-new playground. Students are elated to have access to the playground's colorful slides, climbing ropes and swings.

"The excitement and gratitude in our students' eyes as each of the grade levels took to the swings and slides was a vivid reminder of the simple joys of childhood," said Lakeview Principal Elizabeth Blessing. "It was echoed throughout the halls yesterday that it was the best day ever by all of our students!"

Mahopac Marching Band Concludes Successful Season

The Mahopac Marching Band concluded a successful and busy season last week at the last football game of the year. From Mahopac football half-time shows to UMass Minute Man Marching Band Day, the marching band inspires athletes and spectators at every event at which they perform and is key to Mahopac High School spirit. The Mahopac CSD extends thanks and congratulations to the young musicians who bring the noise to Mahopac's football games.

United For the Troops

Our HS Counseling Department hosts mini-College Fairs twice per week with representatives from colleges providing our students with valuable information through informal conversations.
