Silver Creek CSD

This week's #SaturdayMorningShoutOut goes to Mrs. Lisa Anderson, elementary art teacher extraordinaire!! Mrs. Anderson is able to bring what the students are learning in class and enhance that learning with a creative endeavor. Fourth grade students are learning about Haudenosaunee culture including the meaning and origin of the Hiawatha Belt. Students are designing wampum to represent themselves. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Cash LeRoy and Johnathan Seneca from Miss Tahamont's Seneca 4 class, took part in a meaningful hands-on project: making their own ribbon shirts. Throughout the process, students learned how to read and follow a sewing pattern, design their shirts using ribbons, and develop practical skills such as sewing cuffs and collars and safely using an iron to finish their work.
The project challenged students to be patient and creative. One student shared that “every shirt is unique,” highlighting how personal design choices and careful craftsmanship made each piece special. Another student reflected that putting on the sleeves was difficult, but working through that challenge helped build confidence and problem-solving skills.
By the end of the project, students not only created beautiful ribbon shirts but also gained a deeper appreciation for the time, care, and cultural significance involved in making regalia. This experience blended language, culture, and life skills—strengthening both learning and connection to tradition.

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.”

On this #SeniorSunday, let's give a shout-out to our National Honor Society seniors!! Each year, the National Honor Society (NHS) writes holiday cards to the residents at St. Columban's Retirement Home to help spread holiday cheer.

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

Miss O'Connor's class made Reindeer Chow! After melting chocolate and mixing it with Chex cereal, students shook out their holiday excitement by shaking the Chex with powdered sugar!
