HFCS is sending a huge “Thank you!” to Battenkill Valley Health Center for their generous donation of dental health supplies for our UPK-8 student! Here are some details about their program:
BVHC serves 4,000 patients from 120 towns - 23 of which are in NY.
There is a shortage of dental providers. To help those without access to care or even limited access, we are arming our youngest residents with the tools they need to have healthy mouths.
Working with our youngest residents, it is our hope that we can cultivate a lifelong commitment to oral health.
We are committed to supporting our local schools in their efforts to make oral health a priority.
Our outreach and education program is sponsored in part by Northeast Delta Dental Foundation and Stewart's Shops Holiday Match Program.
Jim Martinez has been on the board of directors since 2021 and facilitated the relationship between BVHC and HFCSD.
Thank you for supporting our students!

High School Business Teacher Ms. Hamilton wanted to share an update on her Career Exploration Internship Program (CEIP) students. These students have gained practical workplace skills through a variety of positions right here at HFCSD, as well as throughout the community. Some internal placements included Athletic Director assistants, Panther Café baristas, elementary student aides, IT Tech assistants, Strength & Conditioning assistants, and Maintenance Department assistants. Along with their hands-on experience, students complete job-related coursework and maintain an Internship Log to track activities, duties, and skills acquired throughout their internships. We love seeing our students put what they’re learning into practice! Thanks for sharing, Ms. Hamilton!
