Students, parents and educators from the Oswego City School District are saying “thanks” to State Senator Patty Ritchie for her help in securing $150,000 in funding to help restore sports programs in the school district.
This week, the Oswego Bucs Boosters sent Senator Ritchie a special photo, that included community members holding signs of thanks for her.
Senator Ritchie’s support for the district’s sports programs builds on her past efforts to create a brighter future for families in Central New York. Since 2011, she has helped to improve learning opportunities in the region by delivering $987,000 in funding to schools and libraries throughout Oswego County.
