MVHS CHAMBER CHOIR PERFORMS AT GOSHEN RELAY FOR LIFE

On Saturday June 14th the Chamber Choir performed “I Hope You Dance” and “Run To You” during the luminary ceremony at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life at Goshen High School.  It was a very nice touch to a very moving event.  The event is to raise funds for Cancer research and for people fighting the battle against cancer. The Chorus sponsored a team, Walk With Caitlin, Fly With Juliette, in memory of 2005 graduate Caitlin Hammaren and 2008 graduate Juliette Lia. The team had over 100 participants.  Thanks to the generosity of the school and community the team was able to raise close to $8,000 towards this worthy cause.  A special thank you goes out to our team captains Lillie Back and Taryn Volpe and all of the parents who attended the event.

ART STUDENTS PARTNER WITH BOCES SATELITE PROGRAM IN DARK ROOM

MVHS Art Teacher Mrs. Hoolan and BOCES Minisink Program Teacher Mrs. Davis coordinated an art project for the BOCES students to experience the high school’s darkroom.  Mrs. Hoolan first introduced a lesson with the BOCES students on creating a design on white paper with markers.  Mrs. Davis and the other program teachers worked with the students to create the designs.  When the drawings were complete, the students visited the photography room where Mrs. Hoolan and MVHS photography students helped the BOCES’s students print their designs onto light- sensitive darkroom paper.  Mrs. Davis summarized the experience with an in-class writing assignment. This was a great opportunity for both staff and students from both schools to work together.
