Opened Up Their Eager Eyes: School Time Once Again in South Country


South Country School District students arrived at school on Sept. 2. | South Country Central School District

A day after Labor Day, spirits were nothing but high for  South Country School District Students; from the entering Kindergarteners and future class of 2038 graduates, to this year’s current senior class of 2025-2026. 

On their first day back at school, eager-eyed elementary students were greeted by their new teachers and given a preview of the learning activities they would participate in over the next several months. 

At the middle school level, students spent the day adjusting to the flow of new phenomena such as period-based scheduling and alternating teachers on a level they have yet to encounter.

“We are excited to have our students back at school,” said Superintendent of Schools Antonio Santana. “The year will be filled with Clipper Pride and high-quality academic and extracurricular experiences for our students.”

Is There a New Ace in Town?

The New York Mets have a new ace, and fantasy owners have been accustomed to viewing Freddy Peralta as a near-ace for some time. The move to a more pitcher-friendly park should help, but do not overreach, because the reality is that the lineup around him is roughly the same and the bullpen is likely worse at protecting his leads. Peralta has been a standout for years, and slotting him in as a high-value fantasy arm is easy. The question is just how high he should go.
