Mr. Bratcher is our #SaturdayMorningShoutOut for this week! Mr. Bratcher teaches our 11th graders about US History, but in doing so he teaches them how to prepare for life as an adult post high school graduation. He pushes the students to critically beyond what they are learning and how our past can shape our future, bringing it full circle; education and applying it to life. Thank you, Mr. Bratcher, for igniting our students to be the best versions of themselves in the classroom and beyond. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Miss Tahamont's Seneca language students took their end-of-year trip to the original homelands of the Seneca. They met their guide, Ansley Jemison, at the West River, where they kayaked out to Canandaigua Lake. Students learned to work together to paddle, and some enjoyed taking a dip in the lake. They learned that an ancestral site of the Seneca was located at South Hill during the late 1700s. Then they visited Clark's Gully, which is recognized as a site of cultural significance. They ended the day at Ganondagan, where they learned about the area's history and visited the reconstructed longhouse. This trip was made possible through the OBEWL language grant.

A wonderful community partnership helped three students with their looks for graduation! Darice Sampson, a local seamstress, came into Miss Tahamont's class to work with Skyla Gates, Amirya Warrior and Arianna Jones to make a dress to be worn at their upcoming graduation ceremony. We appreciate Darice for coming in to share her knowledge and skills with these girls.

Students at Silver Creek Elementary School capped off the academic year with the annual Special Olympics celebration! The festivities kicked off with the Parade of Athletes featuring Black Knights and their educators wearing matching T-shirts and carrying signs as they proceeded around the school to a cheering crowd. Ceremonies opened with School board member Matt Bogosian volunteering as emcee for the day, and students leading the Pledge of Allegiance and the Special Olympics oath. Director of Special Education, Megan Cook, welcomed the attendees. Throughout the day, students participated in fun and competitive events, which included some water fun to beat the heat. A special thank you to the student volunteers from our middle and high schools.

Children’s mental health is important. Students who miss just 2 days of school a month tend to be more stressed and anxious.​ Help lower student stress by encouraging attendance when students are feeling well. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Students in Mrs. Anderson’s 4th-grade art classes studied Chinese tea traditions, created a tea cup out of clay, and then enjoyed a tea party to celebrate Black Knight Pride! This year's special guests were Mrs. Vasko, Miss Neubauer, Mr. Case, and Mrs. Radoani. The students and their guests enjoyed two types of brewed tea, two flavors of “fancy” water, tea sandwiches, treats, wonderful conversation, and laughter!
