The number one seeded HFCS field hockey team took on the fired-up number four seeded Warrensburg Burgers Wednesday afternoon on the home field. It was exciting action from start to finish. Both teams had plenty of vocal supporters and, with the play of both teams providing great field hockey, the cheering was non-stop. Both teams were aggressive, but the Panthers outscored the Burgers 3 – 1 to move on in sectional play.

HFCS PTA November Family Movie Night

By

The Hoosick Falls Central School PTA announces its November family night film series co-sponsored with the Hoosick Federal Credit Union. Here is an opportunity for families to enjoy an outing free of charge. The movie scheduled is “The Croods.”
Film critic David Valdes Greenwood of the Huffington Post says, “The film is a rip-snorting barn-burner. Inventive minds were clearly at work coming up with ways to turn a prehistoric world into a playground or amusement park for adrenaline junkies, with sequences that blend kinetic action with slapstick humor.” The film airs on Friday, November 8, at 6 pm in the High School Auditorium. Doors open at 5:30 pm, and refreshments will be for sale in the Elementary School cafeteria with the proceeds going to the Hoosick Falls PTA. This movie is rated PG for some scary action.
The event is open to the general public, and school spirit items will be available for sale.
