What sources are there for news about the Newburgh Enlarged City School District? The district website is hopeless, and the Times-Herald Record's coverage is very limited. The Sentinel newspaper does a creditable job of printing the Newburgh School District's news releases.

The Sentinel is published two times a week, and includes several articles about school activities. In the October 26 edition there are blurbs, most with photographs, about:

• A special program at Temple Hill Academy where nurses from St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital visited with students.
• A reading program at Meadow Hill that was kicked off with an assembly with singer and songwriter John Farrell.
• Children's Country Day School receiving a $2,500 grant from Empire State Bank.
• Washington Street Pre-K students visiting a local appple orchard. The same story appears word for word, with the same picture at the Hudson Valley Press website.
• Washington Street Pre-K students "adapting to the classroom".
• Windsor Academy being visited by the Vails Gate Fire Department.
• An NFA art teacher, Yvette Lewis, is spending three weeks in Japan on a Fulbright Scholarship. That sounds like quite an honor!
