Wow, another great day.  Today I took part in the celebration ceremony for the Smart Scholars at Schenectady County Community College.  Today the 9th graders who completed their first college course as part of the program received their certificates.  Of course, the Junior League of Schenectady and Saratoga Counties continues to support this program through their Operation Back to School project which provides students with their necessary school supplies to begin the year prepared to succeed and this year we supplied both the 9th graders and the 10th graders with their supplies.  It is so wonderful to see the collaboration between Schenectady High School, Schenectady County Community College and the Junior League as the program continues to grow.
