hird graders have a big decision to make for next year: what instrument to play as fourth graders! And here to guide them through the process are Suffern’s stellar music teachers, who spent the day at Cherry Lane and Montebello organizing the first ever Musical Petting Zoo during school hours.

A sure sign that graduation is near is #DecisionDay, a national event celebrating the final day for students to accept their college admissions. And SHS’s Class of 2025 headed outdoors during Unit Lunch proudly wearing hats, t-shirts and sweatshirts declaring their decision. Congratulations Class of 2025! Your future is as bright as this beautiful day!

If you overheard a lot of arguing coming from the Suffern High School library this morning, rest assured it was all for a good cause.

Last year, bestselling YA author Adam Gidwitz visited Suffern Middle School to speak to sixth and seventh graders about his book "Max in the House of Spies." The visit was made possible when SMS won a contest that librarian, Mrs. Speechley had entered. Mr. Gidwitz was so impressed with the students and staff at SMS, that he offered to come back again (at no charge) to promote his second book in the series, "Max in the Land of Lies."

The auditorium at Suffern High School was giving off serious game show vibes this morning, but the topic was far from frivolous. ThinkFast Interactive, a mock quiz show designed to drive home the consequences of impaired and distracted driving in a fun and interactive way, made its debut in the District. The program is a partnership between the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee and the New York State Department of Health.
