I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream!

Creativity was on full display as Rachel Castiglia’s Marketing students hosted their 12th Annual Ice Cream Competition! Students combined innovation, branding, and marketing skills to invent their own one-of-a-kind ice cream flavors, then put their creations to the ultimate test. After developing their products, the class welcomed 30 ice cream enthusiasts to sample the flavors and vote for their favorites.

This year’s competition featured impressive talent and imaginative ideas. Tanner Stern and Marshall Shuart took home the award for Most Creative Package Design with their flavors Banana Bread and Rice Krispie Fluff Swirl. Marshall also earned recognition for Best Flavor Name, while Tanner scored a double victory by winning both Best Advertisement and Best Flavor with his delicious cinnamon banana bread-inspired creation.

Other standout competitors included Molly Shaw with 6-7 Moon Beam and Caiden Fote with Cannonball, each bringing their own creativity and marketing savvy to the event.
More than just a fun competition, the project gave students valuable hands-on experience in real-world marketing by challenging them to:
Create a company name and logo.
Identify a target market for their product.
Design effective and eye-catching packaging.
Develop competitive and realistic pricing strategies based on costs and market competition.

The annual event showcased not only the students’ creativity but also their ability to apply classroom concepts in an engaging, entrepreneurial setting. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

The History & Culture club attended the extraordinary musical SUFFS recently at Shea's Performing Arts Center and had an incredible time.  The students had dinner at Chef's and then experienced the movement for women's rights, especially the right to vote.  The entire experience was moving and left the students feeling inspired, especially in one song where they talked about the various women in their lives, from their young daughters to their great grandmothers, being the reason "I was here."

Mrs. Feeley’s and Mrs. Pieniazek’s first-grade classes had a wonderful time on a field trip exploring the community after learning about community workers and what makes a community special. They began the day at the Silver Creek Village Playground, where students enjoyed playing together and seeing how community spaces help people connect, stay active, and have fun. Next, they visited Just Pets, where they learned about how workers care for animals and help customers choose the right pets and supplies. It was exciting to see so many different animals up close! The final stop was at Sunset Grill, where students saw how treats are made and served. Of course, everyone enjoyed a delicious scoop and thanked the staff.
