The Augusta School Nutrition Program is proud to recognize Bill Tims. 

During the school year, Bill is a member of our Lincoln Elementary School Nutrition team and in the summer he works for our Summer Feeding Program.  As the driver for the program, hungry children are greeted by Bill’s smile as he hands out nutritious lunches at area parks and playgrounds.  Bill is a hard worker, willing to do anything that is asked of him.

Thank you Bill for all you do to serve children and the school nutrition program both during the school year and during the summer.

Fourteen students in Mr. Maines and Ms. Rideout-Dawes gave speeches about the person or event who they believed made the biggest impact in the 21st Century.  The students gave speeches about Albert Einstein, Bonnie and Clyde, Walt Disney and Henry Ford, among others. 

Emma Whitney was selected as the winner of the contest.  The fourteen students were selected from all of the 8th grade class students who made speeches and created display boards about their selection of change agents. 

Special thanks to Senator Roger Katz, Mayor Bill Stokes, Superintendent Anastasio for serving as judges for the event.

Cony Middle and High School hosted C-SPAN this month as they recognized Peter Ackerman, a junior at Cony.  Peter created a documentary about the high cost of college and submitted it to CSPAN and was selected 4th out of 1,800 submissions throughout the country.  Cony and CSPAN, along with CTV 7 and Time Warner Cable, hosted an assembly celebrating Peter's accomplishments.  CSPAN brought their multi-media bus to Cony and allowed students to tour it as well as view their delivery of the news.
