Thirty years down the road

To all the PIE families, PIE teachers, administrators and board members of the 30 years that Partners in Education program has been a part of the Warwick Valley School District, thank you for your unfailing commitment to a program that dared to reach beyond the conventional.

At the start of this venture, School Superintendent Dr. Sailor said: "The real value of this program won't be known for thirty years."

Last week, Warwick's Partners In Education was one of three programs from throughout the state which was recognized as providing a model for 21st century education at the "Be the Change For Kids" Award press conference at the College of NANO Science and Engineering at SUNY Albany by the New York State Boards Association.

Together we have realized "a dream that really matters."
