Students in Ms. Tahamont's Seneca 3, 4, and 5 recently spent a meaningful day connecting with elders at the Seneca Nation Area Office of the Aging. In preparation for the visit, Ms. Tahamont taught her students how to bead a Christmas ornament by hand —each one carefully made and gifted to the elders as a sign of respect, gratitude, and appreciation.
The morning was spent interviewing local elders, listening to their experiences growing up, their fondest memories, and their hopes for what they would like to see taught to future generations. These conversations gave students the opportunity to practice listening, build relationships, and learn directly from community knowledge holders.
After the interviews, students and elders enjoyed time together playing games such as pool, shuffleboard, card games, and a student favorite—bingo. Laughter, stories, and shared moments filled the space, reminding everyone of the importance of community and intergenerational connection.

Knights Against Cancer’s tradition of volunteering at the Courage of Carly and Roswell Alliance Holiday Party for pediatric cancer patients and their families was once again the highlight of the season for 27 of our students.  “This event gives our students so much holiday joy, perspective and meaning, and the students truly work to help make the patients and their families have the best possible experience.”  The students help in various aspects, including setting up bounce houses, creating crafts, decorating cookies, facilitating a dance party, leading scavenger hunts, and playing games. “Knowing the work that Roswell does to make this the highlight of the year and being lucky enough to be a part of something that means so much has always given our students a feeling of true hope.  We have been volunteering for almost a decade as a club and are so grateful to get to continue doing this work and passing the tradition down,” said Mrs. Kardashian, KAC Advisor, “it changes our students' lives and the paths they choose going forward.”

This week's #SaturdayMorningShoutOut goes to Mr. Waterman—when he's not teaching Social Studies like a rockstar, he can be found stretching like a champ in Crowe Commons or sharing fatherly advice like a podcast host. He’s the ultimate team player, a rock for our students, and a cornerstone of our school community. We are lucky to have you! #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Yesterday, SC staff played a game called “Peppermint in Your Pocket”. 5 staff members were given a peppermint, and all day if you passed someone in the hall, you asked “Do you have a peppermint in your pocket?” If they had the peppermint, they had to give it up! Whoever had one of the peppermints at the end of the day won a prize! It was a great way to get everyone out walking around and saying hi to new faces! The winners were: Sandy Congdon, Jaime Karnes, Lisa Henry, Jesse Hamms & Stephenie Smith. #BKP #SCCares #everyday

At our Board of Education meeting last week, we recognized long-time coach Michael Janish for his 44 years of service to the athletic department. A few of his accomplishments include: Over 500 wins and over 50 seasons of baseball. In 2023 he earned NFHS Section 1 Baseball Coach of the Year and NYS Baseball Coach of the Year. At Silver Creek as a Baseball coach, he earned 8 league titles, 4 Sectional titles, and twice won the Far West regional. As a Cross Country coach, Mr. Janisch secured 19 league championships between boys and girls and 14 Sectional Championships between boys and girls.

Athletic Director Sean Helmer stated “Mike has always went about things the right way. He has always been a student of the game and coached with passion and showed respect for his opponent. Mike held his athletes and himself to a higher standard. His accomplishments are great, but he is an even greater person. Thanks, Mike, for all your years of service and dedication to the athletes of Silver Creek.” Way to go, Coach Janisch!! #SCCARES #BKP #everyday
