It is with great pride that Camp H and R presents their “LUNAR NEWS” Project. The students were required to create a newspaper that was “Moon” themed. This activity was a cross curricular challenge intertwined with science and language arts. In science, they studied the moon and how it relates to earth. In Language Arts, through the Ready Gen reading and writing program, students read all about astronauts, specifically the lesser known Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, and learned about many aspects of our universe in, “Our Mysterious Universe”. They also read several science fiction stories which were set in space. Camp H and R used research and technology skills to complete these newspapers. They used this interdisciplinary, culminating assignment to display our moon and space knowledge and had fun! Special thanks to Mrs. Tybush for the use of her art supplies and art expertise!
The Brunswick Central School District is aware of press reports that New York State may be relaxing mask rules for students and staff in schools. However, at this time, we have not received any guidance from the NYS Department of Health regarding this change. Once we receive updated guidance, as in all other instances, we will review it and consider any potential changes to current COVID-19 protocols.
Brunswick CSD Cafeteria would like to recognize & celebrate one of the extremely valuable employee's: Patsy Casavant. Patsy turns 80 year old TODAY. She has worked for the BCS Cafeteria for the past 4 years with no current plans to retire. The younger workforce could learn a few life lessons from Patsy. There is no harder worker with a long history of food service experience. At age 13 she started as a carhop (waitress at a drive-in restaurant). She has worked at Connie's coffee break restaurant in Troy, South Troy Diner, and owned her own restaurant with her daughter. Patsy is always the hardest worker in the room, it is no surprise to find her putting the heavy food delivery away without anyone asking. She can't stand still & loves helping her coworkers with any task. Her positive perspective, ambitious attitude and warmhearted spirit are her greatest traits. We are so fortunate to have her at Brunswick CSD. She is truly an inspiration to us all. Patsy is the mother of 7 children, grandmother to 16 and great grandmother to 16 favored family members. She has lived in this school district for nearly 50 years. Brunswick school district celebrates Patsy Casavant & wishes her a very happy 80th birthday.
