By
Amy Schiavi
Welcome back! It has been a
busy summer at the Middle School. Mr. Roote and I have
enjoyed seeing many community members and students at
local events during these past few months. It is always
great to visit in a more relaxed environment.
We have some new staff joining our Middle School Team:
Doug Schneider: Doug filled in as a long-term sub
for us last year. He spent the rest of the year teaching
intervention services at Brighton. He has returned and
will be the newest member of the White Team. Doug will
be teaching 7th and 8th grade science.
Elizabeth Irwin: Elizabeth is a graduate of
Houghton College. She will be teaching instrumental
music. She has already spent a few days acclimating
herself with the students and staff.
Linda Brokaw: Linda is a graduate of SUNY Geneseo
with a background in reading and elementary education.
She will be teaching science and math on the Gold Team.
Linda spent the last day of school with us this year
getting to know the students and staff.
Velma Kahn: Velma is a graduate of SUNY Geneseo
with a background in elementary and technology
education. She taught for many years in the parochial
schools. She will be running the computer lab and
helping our students with that facility.
There has been a lot of positive energy at DMS as
teachers have been busy getting classrooms ready to
welcome students on September 3rd. We would like to
extend a welcome to the community to visit us on
September 25th for our Open House from 6 to 7:30 pm.
An interdisciplinary learning focus will begin with the
8th graders experiencing what it was like to live during
Civil War times. Reenactors will be visiting our school
on September 19th to lead “companies” through the
drills.
As the year progresses, please take the opportunity to
come and visit us and always feel free to contact us at
335-4020.
