Congratulations to Peekskill Middle School students Ashley G., Bremlin C., and Danna F. of Mr. Scully's & Ms. Kearse's social studies class! Their Gettysburg Address sculpture earned Second Place in a regional history and art contest hosted by the Lincoln Depot Museum!

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that the students entered the competition entirely on their own initiative, demonstrating remarkable creativity and independence. Their work stood out among submissions from across the region and earned them recognition from museum officials, who also expressed their appreciation for Peekskill Middle School's commitment to fostering student creativity.

The three students will be honored at an awards presentation on Saturday, June 20, at the Lincoln Depot Museum. As part of their award, each student will receive a family museum membership, a membership pin, a gift certificate from SPINS Hudson, and an author-signed copy of "Lincoln Comes to Gettysburg".

We are incredibly proud of Ashley, Bremlin, and Danna for their initiative and for representing Peekskill with excellence!

Congratulations to our Peekskill Red Devil scholar-athletes on their college commitments! Yesterday, surrounded by family, friends and school staff, these outstanding seniors signed their college commitment letters as part of Senior Signing Day. Students were also recognized for their hard work and achievements, both in the classroom and in competition.

We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and can't wait to see what they achieve next. Once a Red Devil, always a Red Devil!

A Statement from Dr. Mauricio:

It is with profound sadness that we learned of the tragic loss of one of our out-of-district students in a fire last evening.

On behalf of the entire Peekskill City School District, I extend our deepest condolences to the student's family and loved ones, as well as all those affected by this tragedy. No words can adequately express the sorrow felt when a young life is lost, and our hearts are with the family as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

We ask that everyone respect the family's privacy as they grieve. We recognize that many students, staff members and families may be grieving and seeking support during this difficult time. Counseling and support services are available to anyone in need. Please contact your child’s school by calling the main office, or contact the Special Services Department if you are in need of support.

The Peekskill community has always shown tremendous strength and care for one another in times of hardship. We will continue to support one another and honor the memory of our student.

Con profunda tristeza nos enteramos de la trágica pérdida de uno de nuestros estudiantes en un incendio anoche. El estudiante asistía a una escuela fuera del distrito.

En nombre de todo el Distrito Escolar de la Ciudad de Peekskill, extendemos nuestras más sentidas condolencias a la familia y seres queridos del estudiante, así como a todos los afectados por esta tragedia. No hay palabras que puedan expresar adecuadamente el dolor que se siente al perder una vida joven, y acompañamos a la familia en este momento de inimaginable pérdida.

Pedimos a todos que respeten la privacidad de la familia durante su duelo. Sabemos que muchos estudiantes, personal y familias pueden estar de duelo y buscando apoyo durante este difícil momento. Hay servicios de consejería y apoyo disponibles para quien los necesite. Por favor, póngase en contacto con la escuela de su hijo llamando a la oficina principal, o bien, póngase en contacto con el Departamento de Servicios Especiales si necesita ayuda.

La comunidad de Peekskill siempre ha demostrado una gran fortaleza y solidaridad en los momentos difíciles. Continuaremos apoyándonos mutuamente y honrando la memoria de nuestro estudiante.
