On Thursday, March 9, the Binghamton City School District will host Chris Herren for a free community presentation at 6 p.m. in the East Middle School auditorium. Herren, a basketball legend, realized his lifelong dream of playing in the NBA before losing his career and almost his family to the disease of addiction. Alcohol and drug-free since August 1, 2008, Chris has spoken to over one million students nationwide with the goal of sparking honest discussions and making a positive difference in their lives. Through inspiring presentations, Herren empowers the audience and guides students to rethink how we look at the disease of addiction, from the last day to the first.

Happy Valentine's Day, Patriots! We love you! ❤️

📅 REMINDER | There will be no school for students on Friday, February 17 and Monday, February 20, which is Presidents’ Day. Instruction will resume on Tuesday, February 21.
Just one month to go until basketball legend Chris Herren comes to Binghamton! He'll be bringing a powerful story about addiction that every adolescent and parent should hear. Mark your calendars for the community presentation on March 9 at East Middle School!

Sixth graders at East Middle School planted seeds last week with Nichole Anderson, Challenge Teacher at both East and West. These students enjoy spending time with Mrs. Anderson and recently expressed interest in growing plants like she does - so these students are getting into gardening themselves! Who doesn’t love a new hobby? #BPatriotProud
