Silver Creek CSD

The answer to our #MondayMorningHumor is...Strumboli!!!

The Indigenous Honor Society is a celebration of culture, community, resilience, leadership, and the responsibility our students carry as representatives of both their school and their people.
The Indigenous Honor Society is rooted in the belief that success is strengthened through support, connection, and living with a Good Mind. A Good Mind means leading with respect, humility, honesty, and kindness while taking responsibility for oneself and contributing positively to the community around us. It reminds us that true leadership is not only about personal success but about lifting others up along the way.
As members of the Indigenous Honor Society, our students commit themselves to growth, service, and helping build a stronger, more supportive community for both the living and future generations to come.
Honorees were Amirya Warrior, Skyla Gates, Hailie Rybij, and Shylor Maybee. This year's newest inductee is Molly Shaw.

Recently, Silver Creek CSD hosted The Indigenous Language Forum (TILF) Meeting. The meetings are held at various locations throughout the year and are attended by language teachers and NYSED representatives. By hosting this meeting, SCCS was able to showcase our Seneca Language students from middle school, who performed song and dance.

**COURTESY POST** Summer 2026 BEA Summer Exploration Camps! Visit www.beagenesee.com for details!

Today’s #SaturdayMorningShoutOut goes to Ms. Mary Lawrence! 8th grade math is fun because of you. Ms. Lawrence has a special way of connecting with our students—bringing math to life in ways that feel relevant and meaningful, while also challenging them to push themselves to the next level every day.

Her classroom is a calm, safe space where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and growing in confidence. That environment inspires our students to believe in themselves and their abilities. Ms. Lawrence extends those connections beyond math through KnightU, tapping into student creativity with classes like friendship bracelet making and strengthening relationships in meaningful ways.

Thank you, Ms. Lawrence, for your caring heart, your dedication, and the positive impact you make on our students each day. We are grateful to have you as part of the Black Knights family. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

We finally had a nice enough day to boil down our sap that was collected. This is one of our favorite days of the year as we can see each student putting in work, working together collectively as a whole unit to provide a meal to eat together. This year as the sap boiled down, the students made a green bean, wild onion and corn dumpling soup. Skyla and Amirya took charge of the dumplings they learned how to make previously with Mrs. Tahamont. They also made strawberry juice and mush using the sap water collected as is tradition. They made cedar and white pine tea and talked about the health benefits. Our student teacher, Mason Jones, showed the boys how to cook the venison donated by Mr. Tomaszewski on the hot rocks. Mr. Reynolds was our official wood splitter, and really, we couldn't have done the day without him and Mrs. Blair working hard to collect and stack the wood. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
