On Tuesday, May 17, 2022, the 8th grade class, chaperoned by the NHS students, went on a field trip to Milford, NY to take a journey with Rail Explorers USA. Students pedal powered railcars along the railroad tracks beside the Susquehanna River using technology dating back to the 1850’s. Each pedal powered rail car was also equipped with an assist motor. Students set a record time commuting 12 miles on the track. Students were able to glide past working farms, magnificent woodlands, learn about nature and railroads, and rumble across historic trestle bridges. We had a beautiful stop midway for lunch alongside an old and closed historic road and bridge where students enjoyed the views, river babbles, and company of each other. Students all reported having a great time, and the tour company was very impressed with the behavior and appreciation of our students. Overall, it was a great learning experience full of exercise, group bonding, and good old fashion fun.
🎵 This is the updated Marching Band Schedule for the rest of the year.

☀️Enjoy the long weekend!
The MVCC trip scheduled for this Saturday (5/7) is cancelled. There will be a robo call going out notifying parents as well about the cancellation. Our last trip will be on Saturday, May 21. Thanks!
ECS will be opened for our families and the community from 5-9 today. This will give people a chance to be in a warm building. We will be providing a warm meal as well. In addition, we will have four locations available for people to take a shower. Please enter through the North Street entrance.
Corn Hole Tournament Fundraiser on May 7 from 11am-3pm at ECS, rain or shine. There will be two categories of teams – a social category ($20/team) and a competitive category ($40/team). Contact sknight@edmeston.net for more information.
ECS will be on a 2-hour delay today, April 20.
Afternoon Update:
We have been in contact with NYSEG and Otsego Electric. We do not have a time table for the return of power to the area. The highway departments reported that the roads have been cleared of snow and trees. There are several roads with downed power lines them. We know that the wind is supposed to pick up later today and this evening.
For tomorrow, April 20, we will make a decision regarding the opening of school in the morning. If we are able to transport students to school, ECS will be open and students will report to school. The school’s generator is working which would allow us to have students in school for the day. If there is a delay or if school is closed tomorrow, ECS will send out notifications via email, Facebook, the website, and the Edmeston App just as we did this morning.
Our hope is for students to be in school on April 20th. However, this is dependent on our buses being able to pick up students.
Stay safe, everyone!!
❄️ ECS will be closed today, April 19, due to the weather. We are working on getting a text/robocall out to parents as soon as possible!!
