Students in The Science Club, The Alternative Energy Class and The Environmental Science Class joined students from south Kortright CSD and Gilboa CSD for a hike to the Balsam Lake Fire Observatory Tower last week. During the hike to the tower, they discussed the climate action plans for each school and learned various ways of helping the environment on the personal level. They shared with the other schools their mission to start up composting in our school again and build more bins during the upcoming year. DA students were accompanied by Mr. Kline and Mr. Santaiti. The trailhead for the hike to Mt. Balsam is near Arkville.
Stay tuned - we'll share information on the varsity volleyball sectional schedule as it's made available. And don't forget– home games at Dave Kelly Field and our gyms are available to watch online @ www.hudl.com

We’ve been alerted to a phone scam targeting parents and/or guardians of children who have recently taken an SAT or PSAT exam, requesting personal information including credit card number in order to receive the test results. Please remember that no legitimate test organization would request payment or personal financial details over the phone for test results. You should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately.
Additional tips about how to protect yourself from SAT test-related scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau website and below:
• Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information.
• Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first.
• Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email.
• Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate.
