This week's #SaturdayMorningShoutOut goes to Marc Bridon! Marc Bridon is a cherished member of our SCCS family. Almost every musical composition has a beat, and it is no different here with our Black Knight Family. Marc Bridon is our living beat that keeps our students engaged and wanting more. The sound of our band resonates through our halls and brings joy like an amphitheater in the the largest city. He uses the power of music to speak to each student and meet them where they are at. He is always available and shows up for our students and community. Thank you, Mr., Bridon. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

WOW! Third grade is the place to be with so much exploring, learning, reading and presenting going on. Mrs. Schuster, Miss Miller, and Mrs. Pagano's students continue to enjoy the Mystery Monday Guest Readers. They have also been studying Pourquoi Tales and continuing to learn about amphibians and reptiles. For Read Across America Week, students selected a picture book, read their book, and then used Canva to write about the story's elements and their favorite part of the book. In Social Studies, they are learning about the 5 main regions and have begun their individual state research and writing. They are also continuing to grow their understanding of academic vocabulary words; they now have 9 words on their word wall. Finally, they are using Quizzes or Wayground to expand their understanding of content with videos, passages and questions, which students are really enjoying working on at their own pace. Learning in 3rd grade continues to be a wonderful adventure! Thank you to all our guest readers and families for their continued involvement and support.

Middle school students are making a big difference right here in our school community. Under the direction of advisor Mrs. Castiglia, Builders Club members recently rolled up their sleeves for a service project that is already impacting students in a meaningful way.
The Builders Club spent more than 25 hours cleaning and organizing the middle school clothing closet. With the help of High School Key Club members, students sorted donations, folded clothes, organized shelves, and created a more welcoming and efficient space for those in need.
The clothing closet provides essential items to students throughout the year, and thanks to the teamwork between Builders Club and Key Club, the space is now easier to access and better organized for future use. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
All Board of Education meetings for the 2025-2026 academic year are held on Thursdays (workshops at 6:00 p.m. and regular meetings at 7:00 p.m.) in the Board of Education Room, unless noted otherwise.
Ten Silver Creek students had the opportunity to make their own moccasins this week! As part of a grant from the NYS Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages, we were able to welcome Sam and Mary Jacobs to walk the Seneca Language students through the steps of making the moccasins. The grant also provided the opportunity for seniors to make moccasins and a snow snake field trip. Other Seneca language and cultural opportunities are planned for the rest of the school year.

Our Elementary Students recently got to enjoy the Say No to Bullying Magic Show! Mike Seege used magic tricks and a high-energy presentation to teach our students what bullying is, along with tips on addressing a bully, how to be a leader when a friend is bullied, and when/how to ask for help!
Our 5th graders hit a major milestone yesterday: 1,000 days of school since Kindergarten! To celebrate, we combined "sweet" treats with even sweeter memories. Each student brought 17 pieces of candy to share, creating a massive mix so everyone went home with 17 different treats! Students wrote down their favorite memories and lessons from elementary school and attached them to the treats, sharing their "wisdom" with each other while they picked out their candy. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
Cason Gross won the library's February writing contest with his swashbuckling adventure story about a young boy who takes on a role on a ship, when disaster strikes threatening his life. He must survive to get back to his sick mother. A great, riveting tale! #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
Middle and high school Seneca Language students, along with the Horticulture class, headed outside to learn about tapping maple trees to make maple syrup. The classes headed to the edge of the school property with special guest Allen Gage, assistant director at Gakwi:yo:h Farms, who taught the students how to identify and properly tap a maple tree. In addition to being a tasty breakfast condiment, maple syrup is also considered medicinal in the Seneca Culture for dispelling the winter blues as spring arrives, according to High School Seneca Teacher Anne Tahamont. The students helped to drill the holes, hammer in the spouts and attach the buckets. The sap will be collected by students and will be frozen until it can be boiled into syrup during a traditional outdoor cooking lesson.
