Summary
The school board honored high-school students for Scholastic Art awards and winter athletic accomplishments, including section titles and a state championship in boys bowling.
Marlboro Central School District honored student accomplishments in art and winter athletics during the board meeting, recognizing Scholastic Art winners and four winter teams for section championships and state tournament appearances.
Art teachers Rachel Burrows and Amy Tremblay described the Scholastic Art awards and how the district supports student artists. Burrows said winners of gold and silver keys earned exhibition opportunities at SUNY New Paltz’s rotunda and that gold recipients may advance to the national level. “Our artists do some really great work throughout the year… it’s a great way for the students to put their artwork out there and potentially get scholarships and get recognized,” Burrows said. The board and teachers called up multiple students to receive gold keys, silver keys and honorable mentions; named gold-key winners included Gabriela Alvarez, Gwen Benninger, Gianna Jarvis, Georgia Kavanaugh, Anna Racino, Emma Stobling (two gold keys), Emily Tarsio, Nylee Tejato, Natalie Terwiger and Kaylee Tamanelli.
The board also recognized winter athletic teams. Superintendent and coaches praised the girls’ basketball team for winning the Section 9 title and advancing to regional rounds; the boys indoor track 4x800 relay team—coached by Callow—qualified for the New York State championship, a first in that event for Marlboro’s indoor program. Coach Callow noted steady improvement across the season and cited specific meet times that qualified the relay for states.
Coaches Landis and Morrissey recognized girls and boys bowling teams. The girls bowling team won a Section 9 title and qualified for state tournament competition. The boys bowling team also earned a state championship; coaches noted narrow margins and mental resilience, saying one missed spare can determine outcomes in tournament play. The superintendent additionally noted that every winter sports team in the district was recognized by New York State as scholar‑athlete teams.
Board members and staff thanked coaches, families and administrators. The recognitions included group photos and a reception; no formal board action was required for the honors.
