Let's hear it for these Falcons! #foreverfalcons
Safe travels to our Yorkers Club. They left Sunday for their trip to Paris and Barcelona! We can't wait to hear all about their experience soon. #foreverfalcons 💛🖤
Our 2nd graders had a shining time at the Corning Museum of Glass! They explored the science and art of glassmaking! #FieldTripFun #HandsOnLearning
Students in the Agriculture, Foods, and Natural Resources class have been participating in Cornell's GRASSHOPR program, a teaching opportunity for graduate and post-graduate students to teach classes to middle and high school students. Our AFNR students have been learning about Ecology and Soil in the first two sessions, and will continue their studies for three more sessions. Students have played games to understand the food chain and even had a chance to start a worm bin for our classroom to show how nutrient rich soil is created!
Looking for something fun and engaging to do over spring break? Our Substance Abuse, Suicide Prevention, and Youth Coalition (RiSE - Resilience & Inclusion for Students Everywhere) have teamed up with the Seneca County Senior Center & the Office for the Aging to offer a week of FREE intergenerational activities!
They know that many grandparents and great-grandparents step in for childcare during school vacations, and sometimes kids get bored while adults could use a fun distraction - so they're bringing everyone together for a week of exciting activities!

Students in the Floriculture class were able to learn how to take a soil sample in the community garden to send in for soil testing. Volunteers from Seneca CCE and the Master Gardeners were on hand to help out and give the students information about why it's important to know the pH and nutrient amounts in our garden soils. Students took samples from our school garden beds and from random beds in the community garden. Once we get the results back we can make improvements to our soil to help the entire Ovid Community Garden thrive!
We loved having our friends from Lansing over for a joint Band Day yesterday. We brought the best out of each other! #foreverfalcons 📸💛🖤🙌
Students put their creativity and knowledge to the test by designing and playing board games they created about World War I - The Great War. From trench warfare to alliances, they brought history to life one turn at a time!
The United Way of Seneca County in collaboration with the Seneca County Senior Center, are excited to offer Intergenerational Chair Yoga over spring break! This FREE event is a fun and healthy way for grandparents, great-grandparents, neighbors, and other caregivers to get out of the house, get moving, and enjoy a relaxing hour with the kids during spring break! Whether you're 5 or 85, this is a welcoming and fun way to connect across generations. No experience needed - just bring a smile and a willingness to try something new!
Last week 10th grade students began the book Buried Beneath the Baobab Tree, a realistic fiction novel about a Nigerian school girl living amidst the threat of Boko Haram. Before starting the novel, they read non-fiction articles about girls’ education in Nigeria, Boko Haram, and the Baobab Tree in order to build context They learned that the Baobab tree not only has many important meanings to Nigerian culture, but also that its bark, leaves, and fruit provide many resources, from medicinal to food. Mrs. Remick learned that Wegmans offers a granola sweetened with Baobab fruit powder, so with the help of Mr. Snell in the cafeteria, students were able to enjoy a yogurt parfait topped with baobab sweetened granola while they participated in their first discussion of the book.
Starting our Friday the best way we know how - building Falcon pride across campuses! 💛🖤 This morning, our high schoolers helped kick off the day with a pep rally at the elementary school, bringing energy, excitement, and school spirit to our youngest Falcons!

Take note for next week, Falcons!
The literacy program here at South Seneca Central School District has run for seven years since its inception in 2018. We were awarded $50,000 from the Literacy collection boxes at the Dollar Generals around this area.
At that time the District Manager of Dollar General stated that the money needed to go to a literacy project for the Middle and High school students. This is where the plan came about for creating a little library in every student's home. That's the short story.
So here we are seven years later on the last round of books being handed out and many happy students with books for their own little library. We love it! #foreverfalcons
