The Tuxedo Union Free School District appreciates all the healthcare workers, first responders, firefighters, police, and all those essential workers who are making this time a little easier for the rest of us. As our fifth year of Spring Window Painting has been affected by school closures, we unfortunately couldn't have students from the district helping to paint. After getting input from students online, Mark Stankiewicz, the visual arts teacher at George F. Baker Upper School, and his wife, Samantha, completed window paintings at George Grant Mason Lower School and The Orange Top diner. The sentiments from his students were broken down to easy statements and visual images. The Orange Top Diner has been so supportive of the student’s artwork over the years. #tuxedoproud
