Hear ye, hear ye…all HV 7 – 12th grade students come join the Valley Blue Crew and be part of this year’s Relay For Life! We need YOU to make our school team an Olympic sized team and do some serious walking on June 8th and June 9th at Greenwich High School.
Why? Because…each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities throughout the United States, along with communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Our goal is to raise $5,000.00!
Why? Because…Relay For Life is a life-changing event you will never forget participating in. It gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease by raising funds and awareness.
Why? Because the life you save may one day be your own.
Why? Because…with your support, we are creating a world where cancer can't claim another year of anyone's life. You are helping create a world with less cancer and more birthdays! So please join the ‘HV Blue Crew’ today…see Mr. Myott or follow or use the online registration link @ the BlueCrew Webpage
The event's not until June 8th but our fundraising goal is due May 25th so don't wait to sign up!

HV Presents 17th Annual
Scientific Research Symposium
Hoosic Valley will host the seventeenth annual “Bucky’ Thompson Science Research Symposium. The event will be held on Wednesday, May 23rd at 7pm at the Hoosic Valley High School LGIA. The Keynote speaker for the evening will be alumni Emilee Bonnier of Albany College of Pharmacy. The graduating student speakers are Patrick Murray, Rachel Beamish, Kris Briggs and Kim Salvati.
If you're not familiar with the Science Symposium, it's definitely worth checking out. Students start their research sophomore year with the goal of completing as a senior. Working with Mr. Pagano, they select a topic they are interested in, devise a hypothesis, experiments to prove the theory, and summarize their research. Quite impressive at the High School level. The symposium gives seniors the opportunity to formally present their research and answer questions. All the research students will have posters available in the cafeteria that shows their progress to date and will be on hand to give further information if needed.
We realize how challenging it can be to take photos at coronation. If you'd like a copy of any photo from the coronation slide show please e-mail Kathy Yavaniski and we will try to accommodate your request. E-mail request must be made by parent/guardian and for only your own student. Thank you.

Seal a Smile Program Coming to Hoosic Valley in the Fall of 2012
What is Seal a Smile? It is a school based oral health service that provides students with oral health classroom education, dental screenings, dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants and individual oral hygiene instruction.
Why is it being offered at Hoosic Valley? Hoosic Valley, like many rural school districts, has a student population that has a high incidence of tooth decay. Hoosic Valley is bringing this program to the district to benefit the oral health of the students. Many capital area schools are participating in this free program including Troy City School District, Berlin Central School District, Watervliet School District, Hoosic Falls Central School District and many more. This program will begin next fall.
Who pays for this service? The service is totally free! If a student is participating that has insurance, insurance will be billed. If a student has no insurance, they will receive this service free of charge. Patients and families will never be billed.
When and how will students get these services? Screening and services will happen during school hours.
Additional Information- * All students will be mailed a permission slip and details about the program over the summer. Students will need a permission slip in order to participate in this service.
