The Storm King School community came together and had some fun recently at the School’s third annual Trivia Night Fundraiser. This lively event, hosted once again this year by English teacher Dr. Mark Rigg, aimed to raise funds for upgrading the School’s cardio room. With over 70 participants including faculty, staff, parents, students, and friends of SKS, Henderson Dining Hall buzzed with enthusiasm as teams took on challenging trivia questions.

At the end of the night, three teams emerged victorious. Claiming the top prize was the team “That Table Over There, Right There,” who proudly took home the trophy. The faculty and staff team “O’Trivia Newton John” came in second, while “Trebek’s Files,” a group of faculty, staff, parents, and students, secured third place.

Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved, the event raised over $14,000 through ticket sales and sponsorships. We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s Trivia Night! #sksExperience

On a beautiful fall morning, the spirit of giving back brought The Storm King School community together for a meaningful fundraiser in Cornwall-on-Hudson. Motivate Physical Therapy’s recent 5K Walk/Run aimed to raise awareness of the challenges faced by individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, as well as their families and caregivers.

The SKS community was well-represented, with students, teachers, staff members, alumni, trustees, and even the head of school joining in the fun. Some participated as runners, while others volunteered at the event.

Cheering on the runners at various points along the course were Keiyona J. ’26, Candy N. ’26, Duong N. ’25, and Eray Y. ’27. Among the enthusiastic racers were Liam M. ’27 and Andrea L. ’25, who joined faculty and staff members Mr. Gillett, Dr. Finn-Atkins, Ms. Fulton ’09, Mrs. Shrem, and Head of School Lisa Shambaugh. Alumni Trevor Hughes ’13 and Trustee Johnathan Flores also took part, embodying the spirit of community engagement.

The event was a display of Storm King’s commitment to supporting the local community, but also allowed participants to shine by taking home several awards:

Liam: 1st place in age group, best overall in age group
Andrea: 1st in age group
Jonathan Flores ’12: 1st in age group
Trevor Hughes ’13: 3rd in age group
Mr. Gillett: 1st in age group
Mrs. Shrem: 3rd in age group

Dr. Finn-Atkins: 2nd place overall
As the runners crossed the finish line, the air was filled with laughter and cheers. With the sun shining and smiles all around, the Motivate 5K truly embodied the joy of our community coming together for a great cause. #sksExperience
