🚨 THE LADY EAGLES HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

For the SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, the Bethlehem Central Girls Varsity Field Hockey Team is bringing home the Section 2 Class A Championship! 🏆👏

The No. 2 seeded Eagles defeated top-seeded Guilderland 1-0 in a dramatic overtime victory on Sunday, November 1, at Glens Falls High School!

🏑 THE CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING MOMENT!

After four quarters of scoreless, hard-fought field hockey, the Eagles wasted no time in overtime!

🔥 Lauren Brodeur scored the GOLDEN GOAL off a penalty corner, finishing a beautiful setup from teammate Ava Austin!

🎯 FINAL SCORE:
🦅 Bethlehem Central — 1
🏑 Guilderland — 0

🏆 SECTION 2 CLASS A CHAMPIONS!

🛡️ DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!

The Eagles delivered a tremendous defensive performance, shutting out a Guilderland team that had beaten them twice during the regular season.

💪 10 shutouts this season!

🏆 2 consecutive Section 2 Class A championships!

🔥 3 sectional titles in the last 5 seasons!

And here's an incredible coincidence — Bethlehem also defeated Guilderland 1-0 in last year's championship game!

🎄🏠❄️ NEW SCOTLAND'S WINTER STROLL & HOLIDAY MARKET IS COMING! CAN YOU BUILD A MINIATURE HOLIDAY VILLAGE? 🎅✨🎁

📍 SLINGERLANDS, NY — HOLIDAY MAGIC IS COMING TO THE NEW SCOTLAND BARN!

The Town of New Scotland and New Scotland Business Network are teaming up to bring our community a festive afternoon of holiday shopping, delicious treats, family fun, and a VERY SPECIAL creative challenge! 🎄❤️

And this year, YOU can help build an entire miniature holiday village! 🏘️✨

📅 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 New Scotland Barn
14 Hilton Road, Slingerlands, NY

🎟️ FREE ADMISSION!

🎁 WHAT'S HAPPENING?

🛍️ Holiday shopping with local vendors!

☕ Hot cocoa and warm apple cider!

🥟 Delicious empanadas and festive treats!

🎄 Holiday decorations and seasonal cheer!

🏘️ The unveiling of a community-created miniature Holiday Village!

🏆 Prizes for outstanding Holiday Village creations!

🌟 THE BIG ATTRACTION: NEW SCOTLAND'S HOLIDAY VILLAGE CONTEST! 🏠🎄

Calling all creative residents, families, students, and local businesses!

The organizers are inviting YOU to create a miniature replica of:

🏡 Your home!

🏪 Your favorite local business!

🏛️ A recognizable New Scotland landmark!

🎨 Or another building that represents our wonderful community!

All the miniature creations will be brought together to form one festive Holiday Village, which will be unveiled during the November 29 celebration!

🏆 PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES!

📏 IMPORTANT! HOW BIG SHOULD YOUR MINIATURE BUILDING BE?

This has been one of the most frequently asked questions!

✅ REQUIRED SCALE: 1:48

That means:

📐 ¼ inch on your model represents 1 foot on the actual building.

For example:

🏠 A building measuring 20 feet wide in real life would be 5 inches wide in your miniature village!

🏡 A building measuring 40 feet wide would be 10 inches wide!

🏢 A building measuring 60 feet wide would be 15 inches wide!

💡 EASY TIP: Take your building's actual dimensions in feet and divide by 4 to get the model dimensions in inches!

🎨 WHAT MATERIALS CAN YOU USE?

Get creative! Organizers welcome creations made from materials of your choice.

Cardboard, wood, craft supplies, recycled materials, and other creative options can help bring your miniature building to life!

📋 HOW DO YOU ENTER THE HOLIDAY VILLAGE CONTEST?

✅ STEP 1: Register using the official Holiday Village Contest form.

✅ STEP 2: Create your miniature building using the required 1:48 scale.

✅ STEP 3: Drop off your completed creation at the New Scotland Barn.

📅 DROP-OFF DATE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20
⏰ 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

✅ STEP 4: Return on November 29 to see your creation become part of the community Holiday Village!

🎉 REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!

🧮☀️ MONDAY MORNING MATH PUZZLER — HERE'S THE ANSWER! 🎉

Today's Puzzle:

20 + 45 ÷ 5 = ?

✅ STEP 1: Remember PEMDAS!

The order of operations tells us to do division before addition.

STEP 2: Divide first! ➗

45 ÷ 5 = 9

Now our problem becomes:

20 + 9

STEP 3: Add! ➕

20 + 9 = 29

🎯🏆 THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 29!

💡 REMEMBER: Always complete multiplication and division before addition and subtraction!

👏 DID YOU GET 29?
