Why are the school flags being flown at half-staff so often?
Governor Paterson has implemented a policy whereby the flags on all State buildings are to be lowered to half-staff in honor and tribute to our State's soldiers who are killed in action. He notifies public agencies of the soldier's name and various other details, as well as signifying a specific date for the flag to be lowered. In the future, we will post these notices on the district website to inform residents.
This is a notice for Monday, June 15:
Sgt. Obakrairur, a member of the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry of the10th Mountain Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team, died when an improvised explosive devise struck his vehicle. He and other soldiers were responding to an enemy attack on a convoy. He was from Hilo, Hawaii.
"On behalf of the people of New York I extend our condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Obakrairur, and the soldiers who served with him," Governor Paterson said. "We regret his death, but we honor his service. Although he was born thousands of miles away from New York, we consider him, and all Fort Drum Soldiers, New Yorkers. We will forever remember his brave service to our nation."
In honor of New York State soldiers who are killed in action or die overseas, Governor Paterson has directed the flags on all State buildings to be lowered to half-staff in tribute to their heroic sacrifice.

Learning About the Sidney Central School District...
Sidney’s reputation as one of the finest schools in our region stems from many factors. High academic achievement is realized through an excellent teaching staff and innovative programs such as 100 Book Challenge throughout our elementary grades. At the middle school and high school levels, students have a wide range of course offerings from languages to art and music. Our science programs have repeatedly been recognized nationally and include a mobile science laboratory and planetarium. We even broadcast to the community from our own TV station.
Our athletic programs have produced many championship teams and outstanding athletes in football, baseball, basketball, track, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, field hockey, and other sports.
Congratulations to our 2008-2009 Girls' Varsity Volleyball Team - MAC Champions and Section IV Champions!!
