Unveiling the NEW PA blog!
Yet another way we’re trying to keep the parents of Muscota New School informed!
In case you hadn’t heard or didn’t read it on the muscota.org home page:
- Congratulations to Muscota drama teacher, Dayna Beegun, and all the fifth graders who participated in Young Playwrights, Inc. 2009! Muscota carried home three awards, and a Muscota grad also took a prize. Bravo!
- Muscota is the proud recipient of the Goldie Anna Grant for Best Practices, 2009, for our teachers’ narrative reports! Kudos for that wonderful BEST PRACTICE!
- Muscota would like to thank Wellness in the Schools for a fruitful partnership this year (pun intended!). We look forward to continuing our work to improve the nutrition and healthy lifestyles of our students.
