The September meeting of the Berlin School Board, Tuesday, September 16, was a swift one, with only continuing construction in the District and transportation to Tech Valley High School demanding any discussion.
To the delight of probably a few young students, the Berlin Elementary School did not open when it was supposed to open on September 4 due to continuing construction in the building. The District decided to extend summer a few more days in the interest of safety, and BES opened for business on September 8.

On a drizzly Friday evening, the Hoosick Falls Panthers Football team completely dominated Lake George / Hadley-Luzerne. The Panthers took control, once again, on the first offensive play of the game. Quarterback Garrett Wright took the snap and lofted a perfectly thrown pass to Austin Pitt, who was racing down the sideline. Pitt continued down the sideline until he was in the end zone. The 55 yard play gave the Panthers a 6 – 0 lead seconds into the game, and they would never look back.
