Thank You, Lisa Weber!

Lisa Weber has served the Suffern Central School District with unwavering dedication and visionary leadership. Since 2013, she has held the position of Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, and from 2019 to 2021, she also stepped up as Acting Superintendent, guiding the district through critical times.

Lisa’s passion for education began early—she always knew she wanted to be a math teacher. She earned her B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Rochester, an M.A. in Math Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Administration from Mercy College.

Her career began in the classroom, teaching math at Dutchess Alternative High School in Poughkeepsie, and later at both White Plains Middle and High Schools. From there, she moved into leadership as a K–12 Mathematics Administrator in White Plains before bringing her talents to Suffern.

Throughout her time in Suffern, Lisa has championed numerous innovative and impactful initiatives. These include launching in-district Universal Pre-K (UPK) classes, promoting project-based learning, expanding bilingual and dual language programs, aligning literacy instruction with the Science of Reading, and advancing instructional coaching. She has also led efforts in computer-based testing and the integration of data dashboards to drive instructional decision-making.

Most notably, Lisa has been at the forefront of the district’s forward-thinking work in Artificial Intelligence, spearheading the development of Suffern’s Guidelines for Student Use of AI—a model for responsible and innovative AI integration in education.

Thank you, Lisa, for your tireless commitment and transformative impact on the students, staff, and community of Suffern. Your legacy of leadership and innovation will be felt for years to come.

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched D-Day (Normandy landings), part of Operation Overlord — the massive amphibious assault on Nazi-occupied France along the beaches of Normandy.

It became one of the largest and most consequential military operations of World War II, involving thousands of ships, aircraft, and ground troops from multiple Allied nations. The landings took place across five beaches — Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword — in a coordinated effort that would shape the course of the war in Europe.

The operation marked a decisive turning point, eventually leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. The fighting on D-Day came at a tremendous cost, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded on the first day alone.

Today, D-Day is remembered not only as a major military milestone, but as a moment defined by extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and unity among ordinary people called to an extraordinary mission.

                       We honor and remember those who never made it home.

Scammers often target older adults by pretending to be family members, government agencies, banks, healthcare providers, or technical support representatives. Their goal is to create panic, gain trust, and convince victims to send money or provide personal information.

Common Scams Targeting Seniors

• Grandparent scams involving fake emergencies and urgent requests for money

• Tech support scams claiming your computer has a virus or security problem

• Fake IRS, Social Security, Medicare, or law enforcement calls

• Lottery and sweepstakes scams promising prizes in exchange for fees

• Romance scams through social media, dating websites, and messaging apps

• Bank fraud and account compromise scams

• Investment and cryptocurrency scams promising guaranteed returns

Protect Yourself

✅ Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers to someone you do not know or have not verified.

✅ Verify any urgent request by contacting a trusted family member, friend, or organization directly using a known phone number.

✅ Never provide personal, banking, Medicare, or Social Security information over the phone unless you initiated the contact and trust the recipient.

✅ Be cautious of callers who pressure you to act immediately, threaten consequences, or demand secrecy.

✅ Legitimate government agencies, financial institutions, and law enforcement organizations generally do not demand immediate payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, wire transfer, or other unconventional payment methods.

✅ If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

What To Do If You Suspect a Scam

📞 Hang up the phone or end the communication.

🛑 Stop responding to calls, texts, emails, or messages from the suspected scammer.

👨‍👩‍👧 Contact a trusted family member, friend, or caregiver.

📋 Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency, financial institution, or the appropriate consumer protection authorities.
