Since the start of the school year, Saugerties has been recognizing student-athletes through the True Sawyer Blue Teammate of the Month program.
This recognition highlights students who go beyond wins and losses. Honorees show a selfless attitude, a strong work ethic, and a coachable mindset. They support teammates, lead by example, and put the team first.
Each month, coaches select students who reflect what it means to be True Sawyer Blue.

The spirit of giving is alive and well at Grant D. Morse Elementary School, where teachers came together to support school families through an Adopt-A-Student gift drive. Principal Kristina Giangreco worked alongside the school’s social worker, nurse, and psychologist to identify families in need. Teachers and staff selected gifts from an anonymous list and purchased items to help ensure every student felt remembered this season.
