On Tuesday, September 8, Putnam Valley High School welcomed the Class of 2013.The freshmen participated in Putnam Valley High School's first Freshmen Orientation Program. The students engaged in a variety of team building activities. In addition, the teachers and staff welcomed the freshmen by addressing the new students and discussing what to expect at the High School. The program was planned and coordinated by Ms. Stella Mouyios, Putnam Valley High School’s Library Media Specialist, and Ms. Angela Capodanno, English teacher, along with Mr. Jonathan Bryant, Principal, and Mr. Sam Oliverio, Jr. Assistant Principal. The program was designed to allow for a smooth transition from middle to high school, and each student received a copy of the book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens".

Putnam Valley High School thanks the Putnam Valley Education Foundation for their funding which made the program possible; students and staff enjoyed a fun-filled day of getting to know one another. Putnam Valley High School looks forward to more programs in the future.
