Six-Word Story Contest
At the end of the 2023-2024 school year, we invited our incredible Saugerties Central School District community—teachers, students, parents, and neighbors—to express how they feel about our district using just six words. Nearly 100 inspiring stories poured in, each capturing unique experiences and emotions tied to Saugerties.
From heartfelt reflections like “Thirty-three years went way too fast!” to thoughtful memories like “Never-ending learning, growing, changing, improving, together,” these stories highlighted the strength, spirit, and connections shared by everyone who calls Saugerties home.
At the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year, administrators selected six standout stories from various stakeholders to highlight. These stories reflect the diverse experiences and feelings about our district. We are excited to share these meaningful six-word stories with all of you, showcasing the unique voices that make up "The Sawyer Experience!"
Thank you to everyone who shared their story with us!
