NORWOOD – Norwood-Norfolk Central School will be closed Wednesday, March 3, out of respect for first grade teacher Mandy Boyd who died Feb. 25.
Superintendent Jamie Cruickshank made the announcement in a letter to the community. She had previously taught in St. Regis Falls, at Hermon-DeKalb Central School, and at Upstate, Barre Hill and Franklin correctional facilities.
There will be no in-person or remote lessons offered at Norwood-Norfolk on Wednesday and no transporting for CTE or Special Education. CSE meetings scheduled for this day will be potentially rescheduled on Thursday.
The food distribution, blood drive, instructional materials pickup, interscholastic athletics and Late Afternoon Extended Day Tutoring will still proceed as scheduled.
Symes led the final 16-9 after 11 of the 18 ends. But Kernaghan took a four on the next end – the third of the game – to tighten up the contest. Symes took a two on the next end, but then Kernaghan got on a run and including a three on the penultimate head, his team grabbed the lead for the first time. Both Scott and MacDonell produced top draw shots on the deciding end, before Gray, with his second delivery, immaculately drew the jack a few centimetres to hold two. Kernaghan, a highly decorated player, had to watch with frustration when his last drive hit the head but he still found himself two down when the dust settled and both the jack and Gray’s toucher ended up in the ditch. It was his third successive fours final defeat.
