We had a great group of girls come together last week for our Attica Softball Camp!
The camp was run by the coaches and players of the Attica softball program and was a huge success.
With a mix of drills, games, teamwork building (and maybe a few gos on the slip and slide), each player took away something new they’d learned about the game from camp.
Great job, girls - enjoy the rest of your summer!
We wrapped up a great first week of our Summer Learning Camp today.
Campers participated in classroom learning activities in English language arts and math but also got outside the classroom with a variety of activities including Mr. K's mobile planetarium, gardening with Ms. Bauer and Mrs. Brooks, a cheesemaking class with Attica Partners for Ag, lessons on static electricity using balloons with Mrs. O’Donnell and some fun STEM activities with Mrs. Stenson.
We had a great week and are looking forward to more learning and fun next week!

Last month, two buses full of fifth and sixth graders headed to Boston for their annual Whale Watch trip for the first time in four years! While the trip’s been going strong for three decades, the coronavirus pandemic derailed the last several trips, so our students and chaperones were happy to return to Beantown.
Whales were plentiful and very active and the sighting of a calf brought a special degree of excitement to students and chaperones alike.
Other activities on the trip included visits to the Prudential Center, Boston Tea Party Museum and Quincy Market in Boston, a "DUCK" Tour on a World War II-style amphibious vehicles through the city on the Charles River and tours of the New York State Museum in Albany and Howe Caverns in Schoharie County.
Experiences were had and many stories will be told regarding the highlights of the three days spent on the road. Students' behavior would make Attica proud and we look forward to continuing this tradition and experience in the future!
Shout out to our parents and chaperones for all these great photos!
FARM TO SCHOOL: Shout out to GreenStalk Gardens for its donation of two, seven-tier vertical grow towers to our district!
These towers will be shipped to us in the near future and will be assembled and ready for our students to start growing fruits and vegetables for the 2023-24 school year!
Thank you, GreenStalk!
