When CONNECT, the free after school program at the Highland Falls Intermediate School hosted by the West Point Association of Graduates, finished out the 2024-25 school year with a fun day at Round Pond. The students and their teachers enjoyed a barbecue of burgers, hot dogs and watermelon and a whole bunch of fun, including taking out paddle boats, swimming in the lake and playing at the park! The program will be back in the HFIS in the fall. Learn more about CONNECT at Hudson Valley Program on social media and westpointaog.org/connections. (From the News of the Hudson Highlands)
