The Mountaineer spirit was bright in spite of the rainy first morning of school on Tuesday this week.

At BMHS the students started their morning with a Character Education assembly. During the assembly Principal Brownell welcomed the Mountaineers back and talked about arrival and dismissal procedures, hallway and code of conduct expectations and what academic recognitions will take place throughout the year. The students were also introduced to the district’s new Safety Resource Officer, Deputy Austin McGuire from the Rensselaer County Sheriff Department. Deputy McGuire introduced himself to the student body during the assembly and also greeted the students at both buildings as they arrived first thing in the morning.

The BMHS Character Education committee also held a fun building challenge during the assembly that teamed students up from different grade levels.

Berlin Elementary was filled with smiles and excitement as well on Tuesday morning. Students were welcomed back and spent the day settling into their new classrooms and routines. On Friday Principal Kent and Assistant Principal Ms. Cataldo will host the monthly Character Education Assembly for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Friday will also be the first full day for the newest Mountaineers in Pre-K!

Berlin CSD is looking forward to a wonderful school year!

Go Mountaineers!!!
