Bill > J01173

This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of Roscoe Conkling Elementary School, located in Utica, New York, which was originally established in 1925 and has a rich educational history. The school, named after a distinguished 19th-century United States Congressman and Senator from Utica, was closed in 1995 due to declining enrollment but reopened in 2011 as part of a district-wide capital renovation project. The resolution highlights the school's commitment to providing nurturing learning experiences, emphasizing critical thinking, communication skills, and character education while celebrating diversity. Under the leadership of Principal Heather Galinski, the school focuses on fostering a love of reading and lifelong learning. The legislative body pauses to recognize the school's achievements, dedication to education, and its ongoing commitment to serving students and the community. As part of the resolution, a copy will be transmitted to Principal Galinski, formally acknowledging the school's centennial milestone on June 13, 2025.
