The Hawks Read and Lead Program Concludes with Smiles, Stories, and Inspiration Our spring edition of the Hawks Read and Lead program wrapped up today, and the joy it brought to everyone involved was unforgettable. From the smiles of our youngest learners to the pride in our student-athletes’ eyes, this event once again reminded us of the powerful connection between education, and athletics in our school community. The Hawks Read and Lead program is more than just reading aloud, it's about building bridges. It develops a meaningful connection between our student-athletes and the school community, showing our youngest Coxsackie-Athens students the power of positive role models. It enhances the power of reading through the inspiration of sport, creating moments that stay with both readers and listeners long after the final page is turned. What makes this program even more special is that these athletes volunteer and ask to be a part of this program. This is a true testament to their character and leadership. A special thank you to our outstanding spring athletes who participated: Sophie Brady, Hannah Osborn, Gavin Macie, Tristan Canning, Brooke Kelly, Leigha Wiley, Brooke Miller, Leah Walker, Rylee Gardner, Jackson Purdy, Brendan Woytowich, Hailey Gibney, Nico Galante, Danielle Deering, Payton Slater, Alex Slater, and Andrew Sager. We also extend our deepest gratitude to the many wonderful host teachers who welcomed our athletes into their classrooms: Ms. Whiting, Ms. Westfall, Ms. Anderson, Ms. Feldle, Ms. Civill, Ms. Callahan, Ms. VanHaverbeke, Ms. Goldner, Mr. DeLuca, Ms. Bayer, Ms. Fiato, Ms. Faller, Ms. Patterson, Ms. Donlon, Ms. Capeci, Ms. Roberg, Ms. Mlyniec, Ms. Holoduek, Ms. Pieruzzi, and Ms. Wager. Together, you’ve all helped write another incredible chapter in the story of our 2025 Coxsackie-Athens athletic year. 📚⚾️🏃‍♀️🥎💙

Join us in celebrating Ainsley Rausch, the Salutatorian of the Class of 2025! She’ll be attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute this fall, and we’re excited to see all she’ll accomplish on her academic journey.

On June 7th, Molly Cooper presented her artwork at the annual New York State Art Teachers Association (NYSATA) Portfolio Project adjudication. This year’s event was hosted by Russell Sage College. The Portfolio Project is an initiative of NYSATA that was developed in cooperation with the New York State Education Department. It is an authentic assessment tool that is aligned with the New York State learning standards. Molly submitted a Commencement Level portfolio. The rigorous process demands in-depth research, an essay, short answer responses, the submission of preliminary sketches, completed works of art, and a formal interview. Miss Cooper is the first student from Coxsackie-Athens to participate in the evaluation of her art and she received the highest possible rating - “distinguished”. Molly’s achievement reflects not only her artistic talent but also her dedication, academic excellence, and commitment to the creative process. Here is a sample of some of the required elements of her portfolio. Congratulations to Molly on this exceptional accomplishment!

Congratulations to Leigha Wiley, ranked 3rd in the Class of 2025! She’ll be continuing her journey at Marist College this fall. We are so proud of Leigha and can’t wait to see where her journey takes her!
