Silver Creek CSD

Miss Tahamont's Seneca language students took their end-of-year trip to the original homelands of the Seneca. They met their guide, Ansley Jemison, at the West River, where they kayaked out to Canandaigua Lake. Students learned to work together to paddle, and some enjoyed taking a dip in the lake. They learned that an ancestral site of the Seneca was located at South Hill during the late 1700s. Then they visited Clark's Gully, which is recognized as a site of cultural significance. They ended the day at Ganondagan, where they learned about the area's history and visited the reconstructed longhouse. This trip was made possible through the OBEWL language grant.

Students at Silver Creek Elementary School capped off the academic year with the annual Special Olympics celebration! The festivities kicked off with the Parade of Athletes featuring Black Knights and their educators wearing matching T-shirts and carrying signs as they proceeded around the school to a cheering crowd. Ceremonies opened with School board member Matt Bogosian volunteering as emcee for the day, and students leading the Pledge of Allegiance and the Special Olympics oath. Director of Special Education, Megan Cook, welcomed the attendees. Throughout the day, students participated in fun and competitive events, which included some water fun to beat the heat. A special thank you to the student volunteers from our middle and high schools.
