On behalf of Schenectady High Schools Parent Empowerment Center, I am excited to invite you to join us in supporting our 3rd Annual Village Holiday Dinner, a beloved community tradition that brings together families for an evening of fellowship, warmth, and giving.
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, December 13th at SHS and we anticipate serving 100-200 families from across our community. The Village Holiday Dinner is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of togetherness, generosity, and the spirit of “it takes a village.
Sch'dy County is hosting a drive-thru pantry today for local recipients of SNAP today in the back parking lot of SUNY Schenectady beginning at 5 p .m.

Teaching children to immerse themselves in a good book is one of the most valuable things you can do as a parent. A childhood love of reading sets the stage for success as an adult. A child who loves reading will have an inquiring mind, a vivid imagination, and great problem-solving skills. Set some time aside to do some reading with your kids this week and inspire a lifelong love of the written word.
