DCS students have the opportunity to build a “Skoolie” this year, which is the term used for a former school bus that is converted into an RV. Pictured are some students painting the exterior of the Skoolie and removing the seats. We will post throughout the year as the Skoolie conversion progresses.

ANTHRO 201 News: Mr. Morris’s anthropology students will be attending the Mdou Moctar concert in Woodstock on October 5th. The band hails from the country of Niger in West Africa in the Saharan Desert. They play fiery, Tuareg-style music. In class students will be researching cultural issues in that region from primary and secondary sources and posing possible solutions. Students will research the Tamasheq language, topics pertaining to Tuareg refugees, political autonomy, and environmental concerns. Their final task is a visual presentation. The concert will help students learn about Tuareg culture, develop students’ global perspective, promote empathy, intercultural awareness, and inspire students as they put together their final presentations.

Hi DCS community!
My name is Sierra Meres. I went to Downsville Central School and was part of the 2007 graduation class. After graduation, I went to TC3 and graduated with a Liberal Art General Studies degree. I have 2 kids, who also attend Downsville school and they both enjoy it as much I did. I am excited to be a part of the staff and watch my kids grow up in a community I grew up in.

Meet Ms. Maksa 🦅🎨🖌️
Hi DCS community!
My name is Megan Maksa and I’m so excited to be the new Art teacher this year! I grew up in Queens, NY, and earned my Bachelor’s Degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I trained in Illustration and Art History. After college I started working with an after school program and really enjoyed the ability to teach students about art and help bring out their creativity and imagination through art making. I went on to obtain my Masters Degree in Arts Education and completed that this year, 2024! Previously I have taught STEAM and Art, and I am so thrilled to continue teaching Art to the students at DCS!
Attention 7th Graders!
