Hoosick Falls Central School District

High School Business Teacher, Ms. Hamilton, has some news to share from her Personal Finance classes! On Tuesday, Feb. 3rd and Wednesday, Feb. 4th, Morgan Keith, Branch Operations/Community Relations Specialist from TCT Federal Credit Union, came to HFCS to present to the Personal Finance classes. Some of the topics covered included: Banks vs Credit Unions, financial services offered, building credit, and avoiding fraud. Students were provided with presentations, handouts, and some swag! It's always great to have community partners come for a visit!

Hoosick Falls Central School District is closed today, 2/9/26, due to a heating issue in the building. Updated information will be released later today. Thank you.

Here is the link to the Amazon store, if you'd like to help with the purchase of a book: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/13Y2EVNBQ6M9G...
“The goal of Project: Cameron’s Story is to support the bonding of parents with their premature babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), through the use of children’s literature and storytelling. We strive to empower parents to form unique and profound connections with their babies within an environment that is often uncertain and intimidating. Our mission is to place a brand new, quality, children’s book in the hands of every parent of a premature baby upon admission to the 19 of the largest NICU’s across New York State."
