📰 News we're reading
1. Fraud Alert: Scam Invoice Using Town of Queensbury Branding (queensburyny.gov) — Residents are being warned about a fake invoice pretending to come from the Town of Queensbury’s Planning & Development Department and demanding a wire transfer. The town stresses it never requests payments this way and urges anyone receiving such an invoice to delete it, avoid sending money or personal details, and call Town Hall or their bank immediately if they’ve already responded. 
2. A powerful gesture: Queensbury teacher, students incorporate sign language in daily lesson (cbs6albany.com) — In a Queensbury 5th grade classroom at William H. Barton Intermediate School, students now start each day by learning American Sign Language alongside their science and math lessons. Led by teacher Isla Dreher, who has progressive hearing loss, the daily “sign of the day” is helping kids connect with deaf and hard-of-hearing people, support family members, and build a stronger classroom community.
3. Section 2 champions crowned in high school girls lacrosse (news10.com) — Queensbury’s girls lacrosse team just extended its dynasty, winning a Class B Section 2 championship at Siena University’s Hickey Field and marking its eighth straight sectional title. The Spartans, along with Shaker, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, and Schuylerville, now advance to the state tournament’s regional round, keeping local high school lacrosse in the spotlight.
4. Climate advocates call for more solar in Warren County (poststar.com) — Climate advocates are pushing for more solar development across Warren County, spotlighting the existing solar farm on the former Ciba‑Geigy industrial site in Queensbury as a key example. Their campaign centers on expanding clean energy, reusing brownfield properties, and encouraging local officials to support additional projects that could shape the region’s long‑term energy mix.
5. Fundraiser for Meghan Woodcock by Mary Budesheim : Dobbins Family House Fire (gofundme.com) — A local fundraiser is rallying support for longtime New Hope Community Church member Norma Dobbins after a fire destroyed her South Glens Falls home just weeks after her husband Terry’s passing. Queensbury and South Glens Falls church communities are being asked to help cover her immediate needs like housing, clothing, and food as she starts rebuilding her life.
