A big (and belated) congratulations to our high school students of the month for May!
Dr. David Keiling nominated our 9th grade student of the month, Chance Nagel.
“Chance works hard on a daily basis to complete assignments, while also being a good friend,” Keiling said. “Even when facing obstacles, Chance seeks help and additional guidance to ensure his success. He is coachable, respectful, and an amazing student athlete.”
Addison Day was nominated as our 10th grade student of the month by Mrs. Stacy Crowley.
“Addison has done a great job in algebra 2 so far this year. Addison is very gifted as a student, but she also works very hard,” said Crowley. “She makes sure to have her work checked over and she asks questions as needed. Recently, Addison went on a trip for FFA and missed 4 days of school. She had all of her work, including a quiz, completed before she left. Addison always enters class with a smile and kind words.”
Mrs. Christine Meyers nominated Evelyn Walthew as our 11th grade student of the month for May.
“Evelyn consistently demonstrates the qualities of an outstanding ELA student through her hard work, kindness, and dedication,” said Meyers. “Though she is quiet in nature, she leads by example with her persistence, thoughtful contributions, and positive attitude. Evelyn always greets me with a smile, willingly helps those around her, and approaches every assignment with care and attention to detail. Her writing is consistently high quality, and she can always be counted on to complete the work to the best of her ability.”
And last but certainly not least, our 12th grade students of the month are Hayden Hood and Jamison Meeder, nominated by Mrs. Jill Pierce, Ms. Lisa Lukasik and Ms. Cheryl Conrad.
“These students consistently bring positivity and kindness to our school community,” wrote the nominating trio. “Their friendly smiles and upbeat attitudes brighten everyone's day when we see them in the hallways. They are always willing to help with tasks, not only in the main office but around the school. They are truly deserving of this recognition!”

It was a patriotic scene Friday at Attica Elementary’s annual Flag Day parade!
After their trip around the block, students and staff assembled on our front lawn for a few songs, a flag-raising ceremony, a recognition of our local veterans and student read-alouds on the topic of what our nation’s flag means to them.
A huge thank you to all our elementary school teachers and staff who, in addition to supervising their students and making sure the morning’s festivities went smoothly, were also busy snapping photos for us to share with all of you!

Make some noise for our Middle School Students of the Month for May!
In the 5th grade, we’ve got Denny Crowley.
“Denny’s a rockstar,” wrote his nominator. “He makes sure every student is included in small groups when the students are asked to pick partners. If someone is left out, he invites them to join him and his partner.”
Kanon Meyers is our 6th grade student of the month.
“Kanon is someone you can always count on. He consistently demonstrates responsibility, makes positive choices, and serves as a strong role model for others,” his nominator wrote. “Kanon will quietly lend a hand and make a positive impact without seeking attention.”
Our 7th grade student of the month, Levi Perry, was described by his nominator as “an exceptional young man who excels inside and outside of the classroom.”
He is always polite, kind and respectful to his peers and teachers,” continued his nominator. “Levi always does his best and accepts feedback on his work and applies it. I can always expect excellence from him!”
And finally, our 8th grade student of the month - Kate George!
“Kate is an all-around great kid,” her nominator wrote. “She is a conscientious student and also leads by example. She contributes positively to class and is reliable and kind.”
Congratulations, May students of the month!

WATCH NOW: A belated congratulations to our middle school Odyssey of the Mind team, which traveled to Iowa State University last month to compete in the OM World Championships!
The team competed in Division II Problem 5 at Worlds. Titled “The Taller Tales of John Jivery,” the problem tasked teams with creating and presenting a humorous performance about an original tall tale. The team was required to include in their tale a hero or heroine that performed an incredible feat, a unique explanation of how something began or came to be and a surprise for the audience. Team members also had to incorporate into their performance a visual weather effect to convey an emotion.
While our OMers didn’t win at Worlds, we’re proud to say they came in 17th place among 53 competing teams from across the globe, which is pretty darn impressive!
In addition to competing, team members spent the week trading pins with other teams, attending a creativity festival and international marketplace, visiting art museums and gardens, and had many other fabulous learning experiences.
They represented the Attica community with pride and skill!
You can watch our OM team's performance over on our YouTube channel at the link below.

When the world’s largest operating steam locomotive is rolling its way right past your school, you let your students out of class to go and see it!
Union Pacific’s ‘Big Boy’ 4014 steam locomotive is making its way across the country to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding and this morning, made a brief swing through Attica on its way to Philadelphia!
The anticipation from our students and members of the broader, Attica community was palpable and when the Big Boy finally arrived, it didn't disappoint!
Our elementary schoolers staked out a good spot behind the Attica Hotel and watched as the locomotive passed by near the track’s intersection with Exchange Street.
Then, it was our middle and high schoolers turn as the train headed east, past our varsity softball field as it crossed Halls Corners Road.
To see video from the Big Boy's trip through Attica, head on over to our YouTube channel at the link below!

5th and 6th graders in our middle school had an incredible opportunity earlier this week to hear from NASA employee and Attica Central School District alum Tiffany Snyder!
A 1997 Attica grad, Snyder is a supervisor for the Cybersecurity Mission Integration Office at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral, Fla.
In her role, Snyder’s responsible for ensuring the agency’s space missions remain safe from digital threats and works on the agency’s Deep Space Network or DSN, a global array of giant radio antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and provides radar and radio astronomy observations that improve humanity’s understanding of the universe.
She’s been heavily involved with NASA’s Artemis program, including the recent Artemis II mission, which successfully launched a manned spacecraft on an 11-day flyby mission from the Earth to the Moon in preparation for future planned missions that will eventually construct a permanent manned base on the lunar surface.
Snyder met virtually with middle school students in our Performing Arts Center Monday, spoke about her job at NASA and answered a whole bunch of questions for our curious students.
“Her presentation was awesome,” said Middle School Teacher Rob Crowley, who arranged Snyder’s virtual visit, “but her interactions with the kids and the kindness she showed taking a ton of time to answer all the questions they had was really impressive.”
Thank you, Tiffany, for taking the time to chat with our students.
And a huge congratulations on all of your success - you’ve made Attica proud… and then some!

Throughout the month of May, Attica Elementary School has been learning about their monthly theme of service!
Mrs. Katie Kennedy's fourth grade class and Mrs. Amanda Vilagy's kindergarten class have been working hard to earn donations through completing helpful jobs and chores outside of school.
Money raised in May was used to purchase donation items for Stevens Memorial Library to be used throughout their summer reading program. Students were excited to choose items that go along their summer program theme of dinosaurs!
Last Friday students went on a walking field trip to the library to present their act of service!
Students were able to see inside the library, meet Library Director Palmer Perkins, present their donations and ask questions that they had for Mr. Palmer.
Two of our favorite student questions were "how many books are at the library?" and "do you have a dog?"
In case you were wondering, the library has 21,854 books at their library and Mr. Palmer does not have a dog.

Mrs. Susie Baker’s 3rd grade class had a wonderful visit to Stevens Memorial Library yesterday!
During their trip, students explored the children’s room and participated in a special service project by creating handmade bookmarks to hide inside library books for future readers to discover. Their goal was to spread kindness, encourage reading, and share their love of books with others in the Attica community.
Service projects like this help students learn the importance of giving back and thinking about how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. By creating bookmarks for other children, students practiced empathy, creativity, and community responsibility while also building excitement around literacy and reading.
They hope the children who find these bookmarks feel encouraged to open a new book, enjoy a story, and maybe even pass kindness along to someone else. It was a meaningful experience for our students to see how they can positively impact others through simple, thoughtful actions.
A huge thank you to Stevens Memorial Library for welcoming Mrs. Baker's class and continuing to support young readers in the Attica community!
