This is the fourth issue of the Gilboa Historical Society Newsletter this year—a break with the tradition of publishing three issues per year. This issue is ground-breaking in another way as well—it is written entirely by students from Conesville and Gilboa. This is a pilot program with students attending Gilboa-Conesville Central School and additional articles by Gilboans attending Stamford Central School and a part-time resident attending Oceanside High School on Long Island. These students have a common love for the area and its history, and have brought their talents to bear on documenting it for us.
While we have had occasional articles from students in the past, our future goal is to have student involvement in all issues of the Newsletter, to promote student involvement in local history throughout the el-hi curriculum, and to celebrate their involvement with a regularly-published fourth issue.
Please work with the historical society and our children’s teachers to reach these goals!
