BELMONT, N.Y. Five senior girls at Genesee Valley Central School are staying connected with each other and their community amid a pandemic thanks to a growing art project.
The photo collage features dozens of people young and old with and without their masks. Originally, the girls wanted to have people write messages on masks for a bigger art installation, but for safety reasons, they decided against a large public display.
From News Reports
BELMONT Seven new members were recently inducted into the Genesee Valley Central School chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS).
New members include Emera Aquila, Elizabeth Bentley, Sierra Burrows, Kimberly Butler, Addison Herring, Trenton Scott and Nathan Slawson.
Genesee Valley alumnus, Joshua Deichmann, class of 2014, offered his congratulations to the new members in a pre-recorded video. Joshua spoke on the NHS pillar of service. “True service is more of a posture or a mindset,” commented Joshua. “Try to find a way to serve one person each day. You don’t know what impact it might have.”
During the ceremony, students were presented with their NHS pins and certificates by superintendent Dr. Brian Schmitt and 7-12 Principal Mrs. Sara Donlon.
Borrello: Expand Allegany County s COVID-19 vaccination sites
Allegany County currently has the state’s lowest vaccination rate, senator says
Wellsville Daily Reporter
ALBANY – State Senator George Borrello is calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker to set up COVID-19 vaccination clinics in Allegany County, citing low vaccination rates in the county.
“This is an urgent need, Borrello said in a statement. Only 7.6 percent of Allegany County residents have received their first dose of the COVID vaccine. That’s the lowest percent in the state. We need to establish state mass vaccination clinics in Allegany County as soon as possible.”
