The Enterprise — Marcello Iaia
In unison, a choir from the Taconic Hills Central School District performed “Angel Band” — with the music by William Bradbury, text by Jefferson Hascall, and arrangement by Shawn Kirchner — in its program singing at the Empire State Plaza on Monday. Local musicians are featured in the plaza throughout March, which is Music in Our Schools Month.
Building Jack’s Place: James Doherty of Cohoes, Kyle Baldwin of Guilderland, and Sam Miller of Guilderland — all students in Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical Education programs — construct a floor that will be moved to Jack's Place. The students are spending classroom time rehabilitating a home in Schenectady that will be used as a refuge for parents of children who are patients at Ellis Hospital, Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, and Northwoods Rehabilitation and Extended Care Facility. The home, once constructed, will be called Jack's Place and is being funded by the Jack Falvo III Foundation, named in honor of an area man who died in a 2005 watercraft accident.
