Congratulations to Kerry Giumarra, one of Assemblyman Matt Simpson’s Women of Distinction!
On Thursday, June 26, Assemblyman Simpson honored 14 outstanding women from across the 114th Assembly District at his third annual Women of Distinction ceremony, held at the Holiday Inn Resort in Lake George. Each honoree was nominated by community members for making a meaningful impact and we are proud to share that Corinth Central School District’s own Kerry Giumarra was among them!
Kerry, a dedicated social worker for grades 5–12, supports more than 750 students and often goes above and beyond her school-day responsibilities to assist those in crisis. In addition to working tirelessly for the students, families and staff in her educator role, Kerry is the President of our C.A.R.E. Committee, coordinating year-round efforts to meet clothing, food and other unmet needs of our students, coached Unified Basketball and is an integral part of our CCSD Counseling Team. Her compassion, leadership, and unwavering advocacy have made a lasting difference in the lives of our students and the Corinth community.
Please join us in congratulating Kerry on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you to Dr. Stratton for representing CCSD at the recognition ceremony!

Our YMCA After-School base program wrapped up another successful year in June! What makes this program extra special is that the facilitators are CCSD alumnae! Riley Dumas (Class of 2024) and Kate Bovee (Class of 2014) facilitate this fantastic program for our community partners, the Saratoga Regional YMCA!
They closed out the year with a special evening of celebration and shared the following message:
“As we wrap up this incredible year at our base program, we want to take a moment to reflect on all of the joy, growth, and connection we’ve experienced together. From the laughter and creativity of our wonderful kiddos, to the unwavering support and collaboration from the amazing school staff, and the trust and encouragement from the families who share their children with us each day, this is truly a special community to be a part of.
We officially concluded our program with a heartwarming award ceremony, celebrating each child’s unique personality, growth, and contributions to our group. It was the perfect way to cap off a year full of memorable moments and meaningful relationships. We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the Corinth Central School for allowing us to use the auditorium to close out our year!
Thank you to the school and to the families for making this program not just a place to be, but a place to belong. We’re so grateful for the memories we’ve made and the support you’ve shown. Here’s to a bright future and to all the amazing things ahead!
We will see you in September!”

Corinth Elementary School proudly celebrated Flag Day on Friday, June 13, with a special morning honoring our local Hometown Heroes. Students nominated meaningful individuals in their lives who serve our community or country, and we began the day with a breakfast in their honor.
The celebration continued with our Flag Day Ceremony, featuring a presentation of the colors by American Legion Post 533. First graders shared fun facts about our flag while second graders spoke from the heart about what Flag Day means to them. Student Council also made a thoughtful donation in support of veterans.
The event concluded with patriotic musical performances by students in UPK through 4th grade, with our 4th graders proudly leading the National Anthem. We are so proud of our CES students for showing such heart, respect, and school spirit! ❤️💙🤍 #FlagDay #HometownHeroes #RiverhawkProud #PatriotismInAction

Our CES Student Council has been very busy!
On Thursday morning, they took a walk to the Village Hall for a special opportunity to interview Mayor Terry Miller. Students learned about the structure of our local government, what it takes to run for mayor, and the goals for our village’s future all while getting to know Mayor Miller on a more personal level.
The students had a wonderful time and were even treated to some delicious snacks and patriotic goodies. Thank you, Mayor Miller, for the warm welcome and inspiring visit!
On Thursday afternoon, our students visited the Corinth Community Cupboard to learn more about the important role it plays in supporting local families. They discovered how the Food Pantry got its start, who qualifies for assistance, and the wide variety of items provided to those in need.
Students even had the chance to "shop" as if they were a family of three or four, giving them a hands-on understanding of the experience. They helped to restock shelves, asked thoughtful questions, and learned that volunteering is possible starting at age 12 with guardian permission.
The Student Council left inspired and excited about new ways to give back. Thank you to the dedicated volunteers who make this valuable community resource possible.
We are so proud of our CES Student Council! They embody all of our Social Emotional Learning character strengths, including citizenship, other people mindset, empathy and more! Keep up the great work! Thank you to Mrs. Fuller for facilitating so many meaningful experiences with our students! #CESlovesourCommunity
