Silver Creek Central School District’s Family Outreach-School Connectedness team is building relationships through meaningful conversations via its #SameHere wellness initiative. The district's third offering in the four-part series of inclusive, virtual workshops hosted by David Hymowitz of #SameHere continues Wednesday, April 12, 2023, at 7 p.m. with the topic of "How to Have a Discussion with Your Children About Substance Use." Community members are welcome to join the virtual sessions via this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83130573354. Each workshop runs approximately 45 minutes. · April 12, 2023: How to Have a Discussion with Your Children About Substance Use. Traditional workshops educate adults on how to talk TO kids. Talking to kids is the same as talking AT them, which means they probably are not listening. This workshop demonstrates effective ways to engage your kids in a discussion about substance use by using active listening skills. Listening allows them to examine their feelings and beliefs about the potential role of substances in their lives and how to support them.

Silver Creek hosted the first offsite symposium for the Cohen Holocaust & Social Justice Education program Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The symposium welcomed students from five other schools (including Brockton, Pine Valley, Dunkirk, Jamestown and Chautauqua Lake) whose teachers are the coordinators of the program. SCCS welcomed 100 students and faculty to take part in a meeting leading up to our Washington, DC, trip a week later, which allowed students to have a unique experience in meeting the other travelers through small and large group activities including trivia and establishing timelines and understanding of various diaries throughout history. The symposium also brought a unique experience for the students through hearing the testimony of a 2nd generation survivor, Mrs. Lily Bink, who spoke of her parents' will to survive, all that was lost and some hope for the future as she has come into contact with some distant family members that have only been found the past few years. “This symposium was truly an extraordinary experience and I am so proud that we were asked to host it as this trip has come to mean so much more for all of us who are a part of it.”

We are posting again to share an important update regarding the regional and statewide hoax about school shootings that occurred this morning. These calls were made to a wide variety of school districts and are totally unfounded and School District officials and law enforcement officers are all aware of the "swatting" (hoax or prank calls) designed to elicit widespread panic/concern. Presently, there is a regional response from school leaders to reassure our communities that there is no credibility to these phone calls or internet statements. Please know, we will always take these situations, concerns, and threats seriously. We are 100 percent committed to student/school safety and not becoming complacent with our reactions to each and every threat. At this point, Buffalo area TV media is also reinforcing the message that these are false claims. Thank you for your understanding.
