MASSENA -- The Massena Central School District will benefit from a $9,000 state grant that came from Sen. Patty Ritchie.

The music department will get the remaining $4,000. It will fund new uniforms and poles for the flag squad. The color guard will get new uniforms and new U.S. and New York flags, as well as a Massena banner.
