It’s hard to believe that November is almost here. I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and fun Halloween. As a reminder, there is no school for students at Sullivan West on Friday, November 1, so remember to plan accordingly.

Here are some events happening in and around our community:

Winter athletic sign-ups at Sullivan West are open. Register your child on FAMILYID for all winter sports. JV and varsity practice begins on Monday, November 18 and modified practices start on Monday, November 25. Let’s go, Bulldogs! More information can be found on the Sullivan West website.

Sullivan West Fall Athletic Awards will be held on Wednesday, November 6 with modified awards taking place at 1:50 p.m. and JV and varsity awards at 7 p.m.

The Cochecton Men’s Club will host a kids’ Halloween party on Thursday, October 31 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cochecton Men’s Club Hall (the former Cochecton Presbyterian Church). There will be treats, drinks and games.

Mammo on the Move will be at the Cochecton Volunteer Ambulance Corps on Saturday, November 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. You do not need to be a Lourdes patient to use this service.
