Dear Titan Families,
We had an unexpected visitor on campus this afternoon. At approximately 1:00 PM, a black bear was spotted roaming campus by the Veteran park & tennis courts. Once spotted, gym classes and any other students who were outside were immediately brought indoors, and a brief lockout was initiated.
We think he was just looking to join a science class and expand his knowledge. Unfortunately, when we politely declined his request to come inside, he made sure to let us know exactly how he felt about it, and left us something special to remember him by....
All students and staff are safe, and we appreciate everyone's cooperation during our unexpected wildlife encounter. A special thank you to Deputy Guntert for helping get our gym classes to safety!
Just another Monday on Taconic Hills' rural campus! 🤣
