Play Synopsis:
A storm-tossed swirl of a play, Acts of God tracks twelve high-school students through the year following a devastating tornado strike. As the students grieve, assist in the recovery efforts, and tackle the basics of getting on with life, they must also cope with the storm's emotional detritus. Friendships and allegiances shift, beliefs and faith are tested, and the threat of a new storm forces each character to relive the once-in-a-lifetime terror they thought they'd put behind them...

Unfortunately, a troubling trend has emerged in both state and national news. Schools are frequently facing potential threats spread across social media. Fortunately, these latest messages were not linked to local school districts and were dismissed by state and local authorities. However, we understand that such messages can cause alarm among our students, staff, and the community. To provide clarity and reassurance, we would like to share our general safety procedures so that everyone understands the steps we take to protect students and staff while maintaining a secure environment.

Whether through mentorship, innovative teaching, or invaluable support, they truly embody the spirit of excellence, compassion, and dedication that defines Chestnut Ridge.

“Our Den of Honor recipients inspire us all with their unwavering commitment to enriching our students’ learning environment,” said Superintendent Kyle Kane. “They represent every facet of our organization—from teachers to custodians—and together, they create a positive experience for our kids.”

We celebrated their achievements with a heartwarming ceremony, filled with gratitude for those who dedicate their lives to helping students thrive. ❤️
