TIOGA COUNTY COMMUNITY PRESS
Open House and Registration at St. Patrick School St. Patrick School in Owego has begun registration for the 2011-2012 school year and will host an open house from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 15. The school, located at 309 Front St. in the village, serves students of all faiths from ages 3 through fifth grade. During the open house, parents and teachers will provide guided tours and answer questions, and teachers will have the curriculum available for review. The open house is a perfect opportunity to visit classrooms during a typical school day. Early kindergarten registration is strongly encouraged. Children 5 years-old on or before Dec. 1, 2011, are eligible for kindergarten. In addition to grades kindergarten through fifth, St. Patrick School also offers two early-education programs: one for 3-year-olds and pre-kindergarten for ages 4 and 5. These programs are
available as full or half days, two to five days a week. St. Patrick School stresses high academic quality and achievement in its students with a curriculum that follows state standards and the higher academic standards set by the Diocese of Rochester. St. Patrick School offers SMART Board technology in its classrooms, foreign languages in the upper grades, and a supervised before and after school care program for all grades. All teachers are certified by New York State and their small class sizes allow for a personal approach to learning. For more information on the open house, registrations, or any other questions regarding St. Patrick School and its programs, please call 687-1770 during normal school hours.

Tioga United Way Extends 2011 Campaign Mr. Jason Settlemoir, Campaign Chairperson for the 2011 Tioga United Way Campaign has announced that he will be extending the campaign, which began in the fall of 2010, until February 15th. While a multitude of Tioga County residents and businesses have stepped up, and some have even increased their donations over what they gave in the past, Mr. Settlemoir reluctantly recognizes the impact that our local economy and increased levels of unemployment have taken upon donations in general. Simply put, he has hopes
that with one final push, the campaign goal of $330,000 will eventually be reached. This is important to Mr. Settlemoir, who is one who does not give up easily, because he realizes how important the donations are to the 32 member agencies which rely upon the financial support of the Tioga United Way. Anyone wishing to make a new, or an additional donation, may contact the Tioga United Way office at (607) 687-4028 or e-mail tiogaunitedway@stny.rr.com.
