Students in Becky Sphar’s Foods On Your Own class found a delicious way to celebrate Pi Day, which is held annually on March 14 in celebration of the mathematical constant, by creating some unique and creative pies during class on Friday.
Students worked together to prepare three different desserts: Brownie Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake Pie, and Root Beer Float Pie. They did a fantastic job preparing the recipes and adding the final touches with thoughtful plating and presentation.
To make the celebration even sweeter, the class invited one of their favorite math teachers, Ms. Pierce, to be the official taste tester. She sampled each pie and gave the students great reviews, sharing how much she enjoyed them all.
With three delicious options, choosing a favorite wasn’t easy. We figured Ms. Pierce might have to go back and “calculate the data” before deciding which pie came out on top!
Great work to our FOYO students for combining culinary creativity with a little math fun to celebrate Pi Day!

Shout out to our Middle School Students of the Month for February!
In the 5th grade, our student of the month is Hank Ackert, nominated by Mrs. Krystal Dominick.
“Hank is a pleasure to have in class. He works hard to overcome obstacles and is an incredibly creative and talented artist,” said Dominick. “He has learned the art of making puppets and truly shines when showing his latest creation or character off. Keep up the great work Hank!”
Jose Gugliuzza was nominated by Mr. Rob Crowley as our 6th grade student of the month.
“Josie is always doing the right thing. She works hard in school, is a good friend and is always following directions,” Crowley said. “Things in school may not always be the easiest, but she meets everything head on while also showing the ability to just be herself the whole time.”
In the 7th grade, Mason Pilc is our student of the month.
“Mason is always ready to greet you in the hallways with a big smile and friendly ‘Hello,’” said Mason’s nominator, Mrs. Julie Long. “His bright personality makes Attica Middle School a better place!”
And repping the 8th grade is Carlito Lingle-Carrion, nominated by Mrs. Erin Holt.
“Carlito came back from Christmas break with a definite increase in maturity. I noticed quickly that he was exercising self-control to a much greater extent and not just with me, but even during unstructured situations such as in the hallway,” Holt said. “His schoolwork has improved and he is building confidence in himself with these changes in maturity and self-control. I'm very proud of him!”

Big congrats to our High School Students of the Month for February!
In the 9th grade, Ms. Lisa Lukasik and Mrs. Becki Peters nominated JJ Pearl for his consistent kindness and respect for his peers.
“I often see JJ holding the door open for others and offering a helping hand,” Lukasik said. “His thoughtful actions and positive attitude make this school a better place.”
Added Peters: “JJ’s a conscientious student, works hard and takes time to do his work well. He is mature in that he avoids drama and steers clear of confrontations with other students and treats others with kindness and respect.”
In the 10th grade, we’ve got Rebekah Hess, nominated by Mrs. Wendy Jerge.
“Rebekah has exhibited kindness towards fellow classmates by supporting classmates with their schoolwork or by helping create a positive environment through appropriate, light-hearted moments,” Jerge said.
Our student of the month from the class of 2027 is Alyssa Elmore, nominated by Mr. James Nash.
“Alyssa has been trying really hard to get better at Spanish over the last few weeks,” said Nash. “She has been testing herself and seeing if she can understand a topic instead of relying on classmates, and her personal improvement has been amazing. She is more confident in class with the subject matter and it's been fantastic to see this growth.”
And last but not least, our senior student of the month is Rachel Rickettson, nominated by Ms. Jocelyn Pierce
“Rachel is the reason so many lockers are decorated each month. She makes sure every student feels celebrated by putting up birthday messages, and she doesn’t stop there. From welcome-back surprises to Christmas treats and Valentine’s Day goodies, she fills the hallways with positivity and school spirit,” Pierce said. “She even spreads the cheer to teachers, surprising them with homemade treats and thoughtful notes before breaks and at random times throughout the year. Rachel truly brings creativity and kindness to student government and our school community is brighter (and sweeter) because of her.”

Our garlic parmesan roaster potato taste tests were a success!
These delectable little morsels were positively FLYING off the lunch line earlier this week - we’re so glad our kiddos enjoyed them!
Keep your eyes peeled, because these potatoes will definitely be returning to our lunch menu in April.

A huge thank you to the trades/union reps who came out to speak with our high schoolers last week.
We had a great turnout as more than 40 of our students came to listen to some great information on career opportunities in the trades and then had the chance to have some one-on-one conversations afterwards.
Students learned about apprenticeships, starting salaries, long-term advantages of being a union member and qualities of a good worker.
Representatives who attended our March 5 fair were:
• Tom Iorizzo: North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters (NASRCC)
• Mark Sell: International Association of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, Local No. 3
• Steve Nowicki: International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 41
• Attica alumni Tyler MIller and John Hassett: Power & Construction Group

Our all-faculty all-star volleyball squad absolutely DOMINATED earlier this week in our annual teacher-student volleyball games, going 3-0 against the two winning teams from our high school intramural volleyball tournament.
After our faculty went 2-0 against the winning girls and boys teams, our students decided to team up, but their merged superteam STILL wasn’t enough to take the teachers down.
Stand back, Gen Z - the Gen X/Millenial alliance isn’t ready to hand over the reins quite yet. No cap!

Good afternoon, Attica - here’s your weekly update on our 2024 Capital Improvement Project!
This past week, teams kept momentum going with electrical infrastructure upgrades across the elementary and high schools, while interior work continued to take shape in the nurse and behavioral suites.
Electrical (Ferguson Electric)
• Continued fire alarm rough-in throughout the elementary school, moving from the 2nd floor down to 1st
• Installed data cable pathways on the 3rd floor and completed remaining room penetrations
• Ongoing work in Data Closet 114 (new rack, ladder tray, fire sleeves—getting ready to pull new cable)
• Installed conduit for new emergency branch circuits from the basement to each floor (future lighting tie-ins)
• At the high school, started conduit and strut pathways for new emergency power distribution
Carpentry & Finishes (Scrufari and Shades of Color)
• Sanded drywall in the nurses and behavioral suites to prep for paint
• Painters mobilized and primed both suites
• Crews wrapped up remaining drywall items while the first coat of paint went on in the nurse’s suite
Mechanical (Danforth and Hewitt Young)
• Installing control wiring for new fin tube units serving the nurse and behavioral suite areas
Thanks for following along - we love sharing progress with our community!
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
REMINDER: Our food service staff will be holding a taste testing event during lunch for middle and high school students on Tuesday, March 10 and elementary school students on Wednesday, March 11.

REMINDER: Our middle school's sneaker driver, launched last week by Physical Education Teacher Samantha Berube, is still going strong!
“Recently, I’ve had a few students in PE classes mention that their sneakers are too small and are hurting their feet,” said Berube, who was hired on at Attica at the beginning of the school year. “I want all of my students to have equal opportunities when it comes to participating in PE class, so I’m hoping the Attica community can step up and help make that possible.”
Berube is accepting boys and girls sneakers in any and all sizes. Sneakers can be new or used. Other kinds of shoes will not be accepted.
Those interested in donating can have their student bring sneakers to Berube’s office. Parents or guardians dropping sneakers off themselves can leave them in the middle school main office.
“I’ve only been teaching here in Attica for a few months but even in that short time, it’s clear that this is a special place that cares a lot about its children,” Berube said. “Hopefully we’ll get a good response and will be able to help some kids feel a bit more comfortable during PE.”

This week was reading week down at Attica Elementary and boy did our students take full advantage to get in as much reading as they possibly could!
Here’s a look at just SOME of the fun stuff our students go up to this week:
• Throughout the week, our students met up with their book buddies in different grade levels to read together.
• The first floor bulletin board across from the library was filled with photos of our teachers and staff hiding their faces behind the book they’re currently reading. It was up to our students to see if they could guess which teacher or staff member was hiding behind the book they’re reading.
• Classroom teachers surprised their students each day with DEAR, or drop everything and read, time where, at the drop of a hat, students - you guessed it - dropped everything and read for 15 or 20 minutes.
• Tuesday was Read to a Furry Friend Day and students were encouraged to bring in a stuffed animal from home to read to during DEAR time.
• Throughout the week, we welcomed more than a dozen guest readers into the library to do read-alouds for our students.
• Thanks to the generosity of the Attica Elementary Parent Teacher Group, our students were able to choose a free book to take home! PTG volunteers set up a few tables laden with books and classes came down Thursday and Friday to have students pick one out. Such a wonderful opportunity for our kiddos - many thanks to our PTG for making it possible!
• A special shout out has to go to our food service staff, who arranged a special menu this week with each day’s lunch options aligning to a different children’s book! For example, Thursday, students enjoyed tacos in a bag at lunch to align with the popular children’s book, “Dragons Love Tacos,” by Adam Rubin.

Students and staff came together this morning to send Attica’s own Tim Lamparelli off in style to the New York State Indoor Track & Field Championships in Staten Island!
Tim punched his ticket to states off the strength of his 52-foot, 1-inch throw in the shot put at the Section V State Qualifier meet at Nazareth University last month.
Tim departed this afternoon and will test his mettle against New York’s finest tomorrow.
The boys shot put event starts tomorrow around 4:30 p.m., though Tim’s slated to throw closer to 5 p.m.
Best of luck, Tim - we know you’ll make Attica proud!
