4th grade tends to be a big year for friendships shifting and starting to trend towards "best friends," which can be a tough transition for kids. Maddie Muckey, the elementary guidance counselor, is coming into morning meetings to help with this. We appreciate her so much!

On October 27, students in the Creative Crafts classes had an in-school field trip to work with local crafter, artist, and mother of three South Seneca students, Christy Wilcox. Christy volunteered her time to share her knowledge of quilling with the students of South Seneca and offer them help with their quilling artworks. Quilling is a 16th century artform where thin strips of paper are rolled to create various shapes and designs. Students are exploring this craft as part of the multicultural curriculum for Creative Crafts, and are modernizing their final products.
Christy showcased some of her tangible and digital works, offered demonstrations and feedback to students, and spoke of her love for the craft. At the end of the presentation, students walked away with more knowledge and loved the presentation.
If you are interested in seeing some of Christy's works, please visit her website at https://www.christyscornerstudio.com

October 27: A note was discovered today in the Middle-High School threatening gun violence specifically on Monday, October 31, and was signed with a student’s name on it. It was quickly discovered by staff and the School Resource Officer in the building that the note was written by a different student with the intention of getting the other student in trouble. The threat of violence itself was not deemed credible, and in fact, the author of the note will be kept out of school entirely while awaiting a Superintendent’s Hearing.
As always, we urge parents to speak with their children about the seriousness of making threats of gun violence. While it has now become something that students will do from time to time, schools have no choice but to treat these incidents with severe consequences.
Come out and support our Lady Falcons! #foreverfalcons
