Summary
At the Dec. 2 Rye City School District Board meeting, the high school jazz band performed and the undefeated Rye High girls soccer team (21-0-3) received board recognition and city proclamations honoring their state championship run.
The Rye High School jazz band opened the Dec. 2 Board of Education meeting with a holiday performance, and board members used the moment to honor the Rye High girls soccer team for winning a state championship.
Superintendent Dr. Murray introduced and thanked the jazz band and their directors, “Tyler Shwirian and Matthew Strang,” and later recognized 25 student athletes who competed at the highest level this season. Dr. Murray noted the girls soccer team finished the season undefeated at 21-0-3 and allowed just six goals all season.
Mayor Cohen addressed the meeting to congratulate the players and presented a city proclamation to each team member as a memento of the achievement. The board and administrators called out coaches and staff by name, including Coach Rich Savage and assistants Amanda Yanet and Alyssa Valente.
The recognition included a group photo and a round of applause; the board also thanked families and school staff for supporting student achievement. No formal board action was required for the recognition, which concluded with students returning to the audience before the regular agenda continued.
The board’s next meeting is scheduled for Dec. 16, when social-emotional learning will be on the agenda.
