Congratulations Nathaniel Humphrey and Cora Thomas!
Rail City boxers, Nathaniel Humphrey and Cora Thomas competed at the 2022 Silver Gloves Northeast Regional Tournament in Albany, NY, on Saturday, Jan. 8. The Silver Gloves Regionals tournament includes the best boxers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts.
Humphrey, of St. Albans, lost by decision to Jayden Colon of Connecticut, placing second in the male intermediate 132 lb. final.
Cora Thomas of Fairfield went unopposed in the female 119 lb. category. Thomas moves on to the Silver Gloves Nationals in Independence, MO, in February.
Senior VSAC Event:
VSAC specialist, Kathryn Gesser, joined the school counselors Wednesday morning in the library to assist seniors in applying for VSAC scholarships. This event is the first in a series of events intended to support awareness of post-secondary scholarship opportunities. The counseling office has found more students apply to scholarships when given the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers in the process.
We are looking forward to the Local Scholarship Event which will be held in the library on February 9th during enrichment.
Best regards,
The School Counselors
