**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

The Key Club Italian Night Dinner scheduled for May 19 has been CANCELED due to lack of ticket sales.

**COURTESY POST** The Silver Creek Fire Department is holding a drive-thru Chicken BBQ on June 12th from 3pm-6pm, which is also Class Night. Great opportunity for families with busy schedules that day to get dinner! Tickets are $15 and can be purchased from any SCFD member, or by scanning the QR code on the flyer!

Did you know? Research shows that students missing just 2 days a month in kindergarten are 25% more likely to be held back by 3rd grade. Help students stay on track by making sure they are in school each day they are not sick. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

🚨CANNON FIRING TODAY🚨
If you hear a loud “boom” later today, Silver Creek Central School District wants to reassure the community that there is no cause for alarm.
The middle school is hosting its annual Civil War Day for students, featuring re-enactors and a cannon firing, all for educational purposes.
The district wants to make neighbors and residents aware of the cannon firing demonstration expected to occur on Thursday, approximately between 1:45 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Please note: Civil War Day is a closed-campus event and not open to the public.

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
