Silver Creek Students Get Real-World Look Inside Chautauqua County Justice System

Students in Mrs. Castiglia’s Business and Personal Law class recently stepped beyond the classroom and into the heart of the Chautauqua County justice system for an immersive educational experience.

Hosted by the Chautauqua County Courts and the Chautauqua County Jail, students spent the day learning firsthand how the legal system operates and exploring career opportunities within the field of law and criminal justice. Throughout the visit, students met with judges, court reporters, and court clerks, gaining valuable insight into the responsibilities and daily operations of the courthouse.

One of the highlights of the trip included observing live arraignments, allowing students to witness courtroom procedures and the judicial process in action. Students also toured the Chautauqua County Jail, where they learned about facility operations, inmate services, and the many careers connected to corrections and public service.

The experience provided students with a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world applications while gaining a deeper understanding of the justice system and the professionals who serve the community every day. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Mrs. Anderson’s 2026 elementary art club students designed and painted their furniture pieces with amazing results. Each student decided on a theme and began by creating a sketch. Then they carefully painted to transfrom their old furniture item into a one of a kind masterpiece!  The students concluded their time together with a celebration party and then took their furniture home to share with their family! #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

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.

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
