CROMPOND, N.Y. -- Baron Hersh, a second grade teacher at Van Cortlandtville Elementary School, has spent much of his life in Lakeland Schools -- first as a student and now as a teacher.
Part of a family that has lived in the area for over a century, Hersh currently lives in Crompond with his wife, Emily, and 14-year-old daughter, Baily.
Hersh is preparing his classroom for the new school year, which begins Tuesday, Sept. 6. This year, he and his class will be doing a whole new literacy program, the Lit Life Program.
I am excited. It is a perfect age. They have a really good time," Hersh said.
