More photos from the Bird Box event.
On Tuesday, March 16th, members of the National Junior Honor Society went with Kelly Spranger and Louise Maretzo to help the PORE committee of Tuxedo install bird boxes. Sue Scher and Ginny O'Neill were also present and representing the PORE group (Parks Outdoor Recreation Entertainment). Under the direct supervision of Tom Fuller, our local bird expert, they installed 2 bird boxes (that were assembled by the students previously) in the lower field of the original Study of Insects Station. This area is being revitalized by the Tuxedo organization to become a Pollination Station for butterflies and other pollinators. The field will also be a home to these bird boxes which hopefully will attract blue birds which are endangered. Donald "Doc" Bayne, the President of the Friends of Sterling Forest State Park (and our local expert on "all things nature"), did a short presentation and led the students on a hike to the site and explained what it used to look like through photographs of the original area. The PORE committee in Tuxedo is actively looking for volunteers to rid the field of invasive plant species and to monitor the bird boxes. These efforts will help our Pollination Station grow in Tuxedo Park. If any students would like to participate in future pollinating activities, please feel free to contact Kelly Spranger at kellyspranger@msn.com or Ginny O'Neill at goneill@rcls.org.

Dear Members of the Tuxedo Community,
An initial part of our search process requires broad feedback from all segments of the Tuxedo community as to what qualities they believe are most critical in Tuxedo's next Superintendent.
To that end we have posted a forced choice survey, listing 25 desirable qualities every community would want in their next Chief School Officer. However, you are allowed a maximum of only 10 qualities that you believe are most important for the unique needs of our Tuxedo students, staff and residents.
Be sure you check the appropriate box identifying your role in Tuxedo. Read the entire survey before checking the ten most essential qualities, in your view, for our next superintendent. We have left space for any additional information you would like to share.
Please be sure to complete the survey as soon as practicable since the results will be posted on our website as well as be shared with our Citizens' Advisory Committee and Board of Education to assist their questioning of semi-finalists in April and finalists in May.
Thank you for participating.
