Your work helps create safe, welcoming, and supportive learning environments where all students can thrive.

Exciting news! Marlboro Elementary School student Giuliana Behan was recently recognized for completing the 1,000 Book Project! Sponsored by the Marlboro Faculty Association, the 1,000 Book Project is a reading program that motivates children and caregivers to read 1,000 books together. To participate, children can visit the Marlboro Free Library or the Sarah Hull Hallock Free Library in Milton to begin borrowing pre-made bags of books, each of which contains ten books. Congratulations, Giuliana. What a wonderful accomplishment!

It’s National School Lunch Week! This week shines a spotlight on the importance of healthy, balanced meals that fuel our Dukes’ success—both in and out of the classroom. Research shows that students enjoy some of their healthiest meals at school, and school meal programs play a key role in promoting good nutrition, overall wellness, and academic achievement.
The Marlboro Central School District is proud to continue offering breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students. A big thank-you to our hard-working Food Services team for preparing these nutritious, delicious meals every day!
