A Message from the Superintendent

Dear DA family and friends, March has arrived, and here at the school we’re looking forward to the arrival of spring and all that comes with it. One of those things is the sweet project of our FFA chapter: maple production. Tapping trees, collecting sap and boiling it down to syrup in the school’s maple production building will be keeping the FFA members and their advisors very busy for the next several weeks. We look forward to enjoying their finished products!  It’s also time for the spring musical. This year, our talented students are presenting “The Addams Family,” with regular performances on March 13, 14 and 15. More information can be found on our website. We hope you’ll join us!  For athletics, March is a transitional time, with winter sports winding down and spring sports starting up. We can congratulate all our winter sports athletes for a busy and rewarding season, even as we continue to cheer on our boys and girls varsity basketball teams, which are continuing to advance in sectional play. Also, our boys JV and boys and girls varsity basketball teams all earned MAC Championship titles! We’re also proud of sophomore Cadence Guy, a member of our new Walton/DA varsity girls wrestling team, coached by Mike Allen and  Jeannie Burnham. Cadence won the section IV title at her weight class, and advanced to the NYSPHSAA Girls Wrestling Tournament (for the second time in a row!), where she placed 4th. Justin Somers and Jaxon Backus, two members of our combined boys wrestling team coached  by DA teacher John Pecori, also advanced to the state tournament, with Jason placing 4th. Congratulations to all!  Our spring sports teams are anxious to get outdoors and compete. Our athletic fields will make their spring sports debut, and we look forward to watching our track and field, softball, baseball and golf teams compete this season. March is also budget planning season. We’re committed to bringing our taxpayers a budget that is fiscally responsible while still providing the very best for our students. Please attend our scheduled budget sessions if you can, but if you can’t, we are always available to provide updated information upon request. The first budget workshop is on Monday, March 9, at  5:00 pm in the high school library/media center.   As always, feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns.   Best wishes,   Carey Shultz
