Mayor Walsh joined Chabad Lubavitch of CNY yesterday evening to assist Rabbi Rapoport to light the Menorah in Clinton Square. The tradition of lighting the giant Menorah is in its 43rd year. Mayor Walsh said, “It’s a special time in the community where people are coming together for the holidays. It’s a time to reflect and think about the spirit of Hanukkah, how we can all find our own inner light and bring our lights together, making the community a better place." Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!

The five-year program, launching in January, will bring mental health professionals from SUNY Upstate directly to SCSD to offer support for students through on-site clinics and tele-health appointments. The new services will be funded through a $5.5 million federal grant. Together, Syracuse Schools and Upstate are addressing the growing need for mental health care by integrating services into the places where students spend most of their time. This program underscores the commitment to prioritizing student well-being and building a stronger, healthier community.
