We attended the Sullivan West High School Color Wars, and it was an absolute blast! The energy was through the roof, with students decked out in their team colors, ready to compete and show their school spirit. 

From the intense games to the funny skits, artistic banners and tasty cakes, there was never a dull moment. 

Overall, Color Wars was an exciting experience that brought the whole school and community together in a vibrant display of camaraderie and school pride. We can’t wait for next year!

The weather was perfect for the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Jeffersonville and was a great hit. So many of our local children and families marched in the parade, as well as lining the streets. It is so great when the community comes together. 

Girl Scout Troop Junior 356 & Brownie Troop 448 had an adorable float in the parade. Local 4-H groups, including Diehl Us In and Kenoza Lake Hummingbirds, did too. So did the Sullivan West student council, the Sullivan West Gridiron Club, the local Boy Scouts, Red Dog Football and cheerleading as well as numerous local businesses, fire departments and more, all participated in this local event.

Please be advised the New York State Burn Ban is in effect through May 14.

Spring break for the Sullivan West Central School District will run from March 29 through April 7, with students returning to school on Monday, April 8.
