Supporting Our Saugerties Families
Working closely with school social workers, SESA members have come together to support families identified as needing a little extra help this year.
Each school building has adopted a family’s wish list, ensuring these families will receive thoughtful gifts that brighten their holidays. This incredible effort reflects the generosity and community spirit of our district.
Thank you to our SESA members for showing how much we can accomplish when we care for one another.
