Ms. Jill Pierce’s students braved today’s heat to restock our mobile farm stand with an absolute bounty of fresh veggies straight from Fenton Produce in Batavia.
We’ve got kale, broccolini, cauliflower, radishes, beets, cabbage and garlic scapes - yum!
Stop by and pick something up today!
Last week, our sixth graders braved stormy seas, bandits and conniving merchants
as part of their Silk Road activity!
Students were assigned the roles of traveling merchants and shopkeepers and were tasked with accumulating as much wealth as possible by trading with other students in our four, 6th grade classrooms, which assumed the role of cities along the ancient Eurasian trade route.
This is a culminating activity that caps off sixth graders’ study of ancient civilizations and is a great way to give students some firsthand understanding of the impact the Silk Road played in human history!

Our 6th graders always do such a fantastic job at their annual wax museum and this year was no different!
Students have been researching a person of historical significance in class and earlier this month, they assembled in the Middle School Gymnasium to present their findings.
We had a few historical figures we hadn’t seen before this year like Elton John, Sugar Ray Seales, Temple Grandin and Annaleise Carr.
Shout out to all our presenters on a job well done!

Who needs daylight when you have glow sticks and giggles?
Our kindergarteners had an absolute blast at their Glow Party earlier this month. The lights may have been turned off but the fun was shining BRIGHT!
Our kindergarten teachers transformed our faculty room into a party space. Each class spent an hour rotating through a bunch of fun stations.
Students painted, wrote high frequency words, used STEM items to show their creativity and participated in activities like a ring toss and bean bag toss.
Decked out in neon, glow-in-the-dark gear, and plenty of smiles, these little party pros danced, laughed, and lit up the room - literally!

Our 4th graders left it all on the track (and field) earlier this month at their annual track meet!
Students competed in various track and field events at Alumni Field, showcasing the skills they’ve been learning in physical education class.
Congratulations to all of our competitors and winners!

Shout out to our Students of the Month for April, May and June - all of whom were recognized at our Board of Education meeting earlier this month.
Congratulations!
Our third graders took an exciting trip to the Rochester Museum and Science Center and Strasenburgh Planetarium earlier this month!
Students had a fantastic time exploring exhibits about our solar system, local and world history, and many hands-on displays.
From watching a planetarium show to discovering fascinating scientific facts, it was a day full of learning and fun.
This memorable field trip sparked curiosity and brought classroom lessons to life!

This school year, student government hosted a “Song of the Week” competition for students and staff.
Each Friday morning, student government representatives played a song on the morning announcements and the class that called in first with the correct song title won that week’s competition, earning bragging rights and a sign to hang on their door.
This year's overall winners with 10 correctly named songs each were Mrs. Pappalardo’s and Mrs. O'Donnells honors biology class and Mrs. Pappalardo's and Ms. Pierce's freshman math class.
They joined together in the courtyard earlier this month to enjoy breakfast pizza, donuts and juice.
Congratulations to our winners!
Give it up for our Prom royalty!

Fifth graders and their parents kicked off their trip to Boston, Mass., Wednesday with a U-Boat Duck Tour of the city and Charles River before traveling to the Tea Party Museum to learn more about a key event in our nation’s history.
Thursday was another busy day as the travelers headed out on a highly successful whale watch that included sightings of porpoises, humpbacks, two Atlantic Loons, and many gray seals!
The group ended their day with a performance of the Blue Man Group.
At present, this great group is headed to the New York State Museum in Albany and plans on making a stop at Howe Caverns before heading home for Attica!

Congratulations to our Middle School Students of the Month for May!
Mrs. Dominick and Ms. Donohue nominated our 5th grade student of the month, Kanon Meyers.
“Kanon is a responsible young man and has transitioned beautifully to middle school. He is part of the band, participated in wrestling, participates in baseball and helps at home with his Dad's business,” said Dominick and Donohue. “Once familiar with you, Kanon enjoys talking and sharing his knowledge! He is a good friend and a great student.”
Mrs. Jordan nominated our 6th grade student of the month, Ryder Heidenreich, “for always being helpful and friendly.”
Our 7th grade student of the month is Logan Warwick.
“Logan is a hardworking student who always strives to get good grades,” said his nominator, Mrs. Kowalski. “He gets his homework checked every day to ensure he understands everything and takes feedback well. Also, being in advanced classes, Logan has never missed an assignment.”
Cassandra Hoffman, our student of the month for 8th grade, was nominated by Dr. Keiling and Mrs. Czekanski.
“At school Cassie continues to be incredibly kind to her peers and works diligently on her academics,” said Dr. Keiling.
Our 6th grade students and staff teamed up with the village of Attica’s Department of Public Works to help beautify Memorial Park by transforming a large flower bed which also serves as a memorial for employees of the Wyoming Correctional Facility.
This was a true community endeavor as students worked side by side with village crews and their classmates pulling weeds, laying down a weed barrier, planting flowers and mulching.
Students did such a great job and were given a warm "Thank you" by Mayor Nathan Montford and Michael Hill, superintendent of Wyoming Correctional.
This could not have been possible without the village of Attica Department of Public Works staff who donated hot dogs and water, and NY Chips, which donated chips to add to the student's hot dog lunch.
Donations from Wyoming Correctional rounded out the project with flowers to add to the bed, and the Attica Lions Club allowed for the use of their building and equipment. Attica Ace Hardware also helped by providing work gloves for our students and staff.
Overall, it was a great day of teamwork and the students walked away with a sense of pride for their community.
Well done, everyone!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHTS: It’s that time of year to recognize our seniors as they prepare to close one chapter of their lives and open a new one.
Over the next few days, we’ll be highlighting members of the Class of 2025 and their plans after graduation.
We know you’ll join us in congratulating our soon-to-be alumni and wishing them well, wherever life happens to take them!
Our first graders beat the heat today down at the Memorial Park Splash Pad!
Our kiddos had an absolute BLAST. Seriously, there was not a frown to be found - what a great place to have right here in our community.
Shout out to the village of Attica not only for building the splash pad, but for keeping it in tip top shape - our first graders appreciated it!
