Cameron Hurst

Jamestown Public Schools has announced the appointment of a new Public Relations Specialist as they also say goodbye to their longtime Communications Coordinator.

JPS Superintendent Dr. Kevin Whitaker recognizes retiring Communications Coordinator Cathy Panebianco (August 30, 2022)

Superintendent Dr. Kevin Whitaker thanked Panebianco for her work over the past 22 years with the district, “You have done incredible work, as you clearly know, as all these people know. But the thing they don’t know is, 10 o’clock at night, and 3 o’clock in the morning, and crazy hours at all hours of the day for events that are highly stressful and highly emotional. And you always come through and you always write great prose. And you’re always open to editing, which is really nice [crowd laughter], from my perspective, and the messages that you craft are always caring, heartfelt, and informative.”

Panebianco said there was no better place to work than Jamestown Schools and that it is a real place of joy.

Cameron Hurst is a 2016 graduate of Jamestown High School. He currently serves as a public relations specialist for the Springville-Griffith Institute and Pine Valley central school districts via Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES. Hurst received his bachelors degrees in journalism and music from St. Bonaventure University. He currently lives in Jamestown.

JAMESTOWN – Jamestown Public Schools has established a community fund that officials say will help aid the district in paying for school programming.

The Jamestown Schools PROMISE Fund stands for Providing Resources to Our Mission in Support of Education. According to school officials, it’s been created to support and enhance programs and/or initiatives which are threatened by a lack of funding in the school budget. These include new courses, access to the latest technology, music and the arts, after-school programming, tutoring, and more.

The fund could also bolster teacher development and parent/family engagement to ensure student success.

The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation is hosting the Promise Fund, assuring that all donations are tax-deductible.

Donations can be made at www.promisefund.org.
