Safety Bug to show high school students the dangers of drunken driving

High school students will have a chance to find out how dangerous drunken driving is when the Safety Bug visits Clayton A. Bouton High School later this month. The Safety Bug is part of Lookin’ Out, a driver safety awareness program that promotes safe driving habits and seeks to reduce automobile crashes involving teenage drives. »MORE

10th annual Ping Pong Ball Race - May 24

Dollars for Scholars will hold its 10th annual Ping Pong Ball Race on Saturday, May 24 at 1:30 p.m. (Memorial Day Weekend!). The event raises money to support scholarships to college bound seniors.
Ping Pong ball tickets can be purchased for $1 each from Karen Belgiovine in the middle school's main office or from Tim Kelly in the high school guidance office. The race will be held at the American Legion Post 1493 on Voorheesville Avenue.

Spaghetti dinner to support baseball teams

Order a spaghetti dinner to support Clayton A. Bouton High School’s baseball teams.
The Voorheesville Baseball Booster Club is holding a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on Wednesday, May 28. Dinners include spaghetti, meatballs, tossed salad, Italian bread and dessert.
Dinners will be served in the high school cafeteria from 4-6:30 p.m. Take out dinners will be available from 3-4 p.m. Dinners cost $8 for adults and $5 for children. Preschool-aged children eat for free.
To order a dinner in advance, call Kathy Massaroni, at 765-4921 or Linda Pasquali at 765-4990, or speak to the parent of a varsity or junior varsity baseball player.
Although it is not necessary to order in advance, doing so by May 21 will allow organizers to better estimate how much food they will need.

Children's book illustrator visits VES

Local children's book illustrator Jeffrey Scherer recently spent an afternoon with first-graders at Voorheesville Elementary School.
Scherer illustrates books that are written for kindergartners and first-graders. His 11 books include "Pet Your Pet," "One Snowy Day," "Whooo's There?," "What is That? Said the Cat," and the "Bug Bunch" series. His first book, "Wake me in Spring," was about a hibernating bear and was published in 1994.
In addition to illustrating books, Scherer works as an online producer for the Times Union newspaper.

The play, written by Jeremy Kruse, will be staged in the Performing Arts Center in the middle school at 7:15 on Friday, May16 and Saturday, May17. Admission is $5.

BOE, Community Foundation chip in to send Odyssey team to world finals

Voorheesville Elementary School’s Odyssey of the Mind team is headed to the World Finals competition thanks to donations from the Voorheesville Board of Education and the Community and School Foundation.
The team earned a spot in the finals by winning the New York State competition, but the trip will cost about $4,000, and team members weren’t sure they could raise that much in time to go. That’s when the school board and Community and School Foundation stepped in. »MORE
