CONGRATULATIONS CROTON-HARMON STUDENT-ATHLETES, COLLEGE SIGNING DAY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Congratulations to the Croton-Harmon student-athletes who were recognized at College Signing Day as they committed to continuing their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level.

Dylan Winthal — Swim & Dive, Bowdoin College
Andrew Sur — Baseball, SUNY Maritime College
Max Fredman — Baseball, Manhattanville University
Nate Geberth — Baseball, Jefferson College

This milestone reflects years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication, as well as the support of coaches, teachers, counselors, and families who helped them reach this moment.

Coach Rosen reminded students that this achievement is one few high school athletes attain.

“Less than 10 percent of high school student-athletes go on to compete at the collegiate level,” he said. “I wish I could say the hard work is over and you’ve made it, but the hard work has just begun.”
He expressed confidence that the lessons students learned through the Croton-Harmon athletic program will carry them through the opportunities and challenges ahead.

“I know you are prepared and ready for that challenge,” said Coach Rosen.

We are proud of all that our student-athletes have accomplished and look forward to cheering them on in this exciting next chapter. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger. Photos at Facebook and Facebook and Facebook

IN ADDITION TO SCHOOL ELECTION STUFF TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INDIAN POINT DATA CENTER, THERE'S WEINGARTEN!

Many thanks to AJ for posting a working link:Teacher union honcho Randi Weingarten’s 2025 vanity book “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” isn’t just a self-promoting, self-glorifying soliloquy: The unreadable screed also served as a helpful cash conduit for Weingarten and her friends to make bank on the back of teachers’ union dues.

Weingarten’s book was something of a “group project”; a Freedom Foundation analysis of the American Federation of Teacher’s federal filings reveals that it laid out big bucks in support of this collaborative effort.

Teachers should ask for a refund.  More at Turns out Randi Weingarten's self-promoting 'book' was a big scam all along

RIP THOMAS ALAN FERGUSON SR.

Received late notice; a genuinely nice guy. A proud graduate of Croton High School, Thomas honorably served his country as a member of the United States Air Force, completing two tours in Vietnam. After his military service, he dedicated over 30 years to the Village of Croton Water Department, retiring as Water Department Foreman. Following retirement, Thomas fulfilled a lifelong dream by working for the Green Bay Packers, a reflection of his enduring passion for football.
