Deck the Halls and ring in the holiday celebrations with our concerts. Students are working hard and fine tuning their performances to give you an incredible concert experience. We hope you will join us for the MS Concert on December 19th, at 6pm.
This is Sarah Horton and Melissa Butler from the MS/HS reaching out to inform you that we just conducted our second lockdown of the school year. As always, the lockdown drill was conducted in collaboration with our law enforcement agencies connected with our school. The lockdown drill was successful - Thank you and have a great day!
Yesterday in Plant Science, students learned how to make wreaths! Most students enjoyed the process and it looks like we have some professional wreath makers in our midst! Students were able to take their wreaths home to decorate their doors with! Thanks to Evergreen Acres Plantation for the branches, as well as branches that were cut from Mrs. Parsons' family's property!
Students in the Small Animals class have been studying different breeds of dogs. Information pertinent to the breed was gathered, such as accepted heights, hair colors, temperaments, etc. and then created a life size cardboard cut out of their dog. Students then could use paint to make their dog as lifelike as possible. We had over 50 judges (staff and students) that judged our "Dogless Dog Show" and prizes were awarded in each breed category, as well as Most Realistic, Best Information, and Best of Show! Students really had a chance to show their creativity and learn about the dog breed of their choice during this project! Judges really enjoyed being able to come in and make some tough choices while reading about all of the different dog breeds!
Congrats to these Falcons in the Middle! #foreverfalcons #honorroll

For the past month or so, Elizabeth Dendis, senior at South Seneca Central School, has been preparing her pitch for the Grow-NY Youth contest. The first step of this competition was applying to be given a chance to make a pitch to the judges on the youth stage at the annual Grow-NY contest. The Grow-NY Youth contest calls on food system and technology entrepreneurs to pitch their idea to four judges to compete to win prize money that would benefit their business. Elizabeth, owner of Sweet Sprinkles Bakery that just opened up this past summer in Trumansburg, NY, already has a business plan, a storefront, and is already operating her business, but she has big ideas and knew that she could put money for her business to good use.
Not really knowing what to expect from this competition, the small group from South Seneca arrived in Binghamton on November 14th for the Grow-NY summit. After wandering through the presentation tables for the Grow-NY competition, and watching some of the pitches that ag start-ups were giving on the main stage, Elizabeth prepared for her pitch on the Youth Stage during lunch at the event. Elizabeth delivered a flawless pitch, explaining the ins and outs of her business, and was able to effortlessly answer the four judges' questions about her future plans for her business. Awards were announced on November 15, and Elizabeth placed 5th place in the competition, earning $500 to put toward her business. Thank you to Grow-NY, Cornell University, NYS 4-H, NYS FFA, and New York Agriculture in the Classroom for providing this wonderful opportunity for young entrepreneurs to advance their business!
Let's show our community and families just how much we really care about them!
Our Middle School Student Government and Community Connections class are coordinating our efforts this year to collect non-perishable food items and cash donations for Thanksgiving dinners for people in our community. Their goal is to collect food and cash donations for 10 complete dinners by the end of day on Friday, Nov. 17th.
We welcome everyone who would like to contribute!
All donations will be much appreciated.
See details below on our Dress Up / Dress Down For a Turkey Day- this Friday too! We are hoping that staff especially might have some fun with this Dress Up/ Dress Down day.
Their goal for Turkey purchases is $200. Please feel free to send $ donations (in an envelope marked Turkey Box Project) to my school mailbox anytime!! Checks can be made out to SSMS Student Government.
Lucy felt right at home taking a tour of the school. She even had a chance to meet some of our students/staff along the way! #foreverfalcons #fureverfalcons #southsenecacsd
