Fifteen members of the South Seneca High School Yorkers Club traveled to Paris, France and Barcelona, Spain over Spring Break!
The trip included travel by plane, bus, boat, high speed train, and subway. Students visited the incredible Louvre art museum (home of the Mona Lisa), learned history as local guides described famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, took in the splendor of Antoni Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia and the recently restored Notre Dame cathedrals, and sampled unique local cuisine.
What an incredible experience! 🙌🖤💛📸
Happy Earth Day! A big thank you to the Interlaken Public Library for delivering Earth Day goodie bags for our Middle and High School students. We appreciate your support and partnership in helping us celebrate our planet!
Now is the perfect time to get your little ones registered for our Pre-K program! 📢💛🖤🙌
Have a great week everybody! #foreverfalcons
This week, staff across the district participated in an Undercover Staff Spirit Week - a fun way to bring some extra energy and smiles to the final days before break. Today’s theme: Vacation Gear! Wishing all of our students, staff, and families a restful and enjoyable Spring Break!
Meet our March High School Students and Staff of the Month! #foreverfalcons
Earlier this week our MS/HS had an incredible visit from REV Theatre Co. where they performed their "Improv for All" show.
A bit about the show:
"This show will explore the foundational elements of improvisational theatre and how everyone (not just performers) can benefit from them. The show is part theatrical performance, part motivational speech, part audience interaction and unlike anything your students will have ever seen before. The best part? Everyone will walk away with practical skills that they can apply to their lives immediately. "
Safe to say our Falcons loved the performance!
Let's hear it for these Falcons! #foreverfalcons
Safe travels to our Yorkers Club. They left Sunday for their trip to Paris and Barcelona! We can't wait to hear all about their experience soon. #foreverfalcons 💛🖤
Looking for something fun and engaging to do over spring break? Our Substance Abuse, Suicide Prevention, and Youth Coalition (RiSE - Resilience & Inclusion for Students Everywhere) have teamed up with the Seneca County Senior Center & the Office for the Aging to offer a week of FREE intergenerational activities!
They know that many grandparents and great-grandparents step in for childcare during school vacations, and sometimes kids get bored while adults could use a fun distraction - so they're bringing everyone together for a week of exciting activities!
Our 2nd graders had a shining time at the Corning Museum of Glass! They explored the science and art of glassmaking! #FieldTripFun #HandsOnLearning
Students in the Agriculture, Foods, and Natural Resources class have been participating in Cornell's GRASSHOPR program, a teaching opportunity for graduate and post-graduate students to teach classes to middle and high school students. Our AFNR students have been learning about Ecology and Soil in the first two sessions, and will continue their studies for three more sessions. Students have played games to understand the food chain and even had a chance to start a worm bin for our classroom to show how nutrient rich soil is created!

Students in the Floriculture class were able to learn how to take a soil sample in the community garden to send in for soil testing. Volunteers from Seneca CCE and the Master Gardeners were on hand to help out and give the students information about why it's important to know the pH and nutrient amounts in our garden soils. Students took samples from our school garden beds and from random beds in the community garden. Once we get the results back we can make improvements to our soil to help the entire Ovid Community Garden thrive!
We loved having our friends from Lansing over for a joint Band Day yesterday. We brought the best out of each other! #foreverfalcons 📸💛🖤🙌
The United Way of Seneca County in collaboration with the Seneca County Senior Center, are excited to offer Intergenerational Chair Yoga over spring break! This FREE event is a fun and healthy way for grandparents, great-grandparents, neighbors, and other caregivers to get out of the house, get moving, and enjoy a relaxing hour with the kids during spring break! Whether you're 5 or 85, this is a welcoming and fun way to connect across generations. No experience needed - just bring a smile and a willingness to try something new!
Students put their creativity and knowledge to the test by designing and playing board games they created about World War I - The Great War. From trench warfare to alliances, they brought history to life one turn at a time!
Last week 10th grade students began the book Buried Beneath the Baobab Tree, a realistic fiction novel about a Nigerian school girl living amidst the threat of Boko Haram. Before starting the novel, they read non-fiction articles about girls’ education in Nigeria, Boko Haram, and the Baobab Tree in order to build context They learned that the Baobab tree not only has many important meanings to Nigerian culture, but also that its bark, leaves, and fruit provide many resources, from medicinal to food. Mrs. Remick learned that Wegmans offers a granola sweetened with Baobab fruit powder, so with the help of Mr. Snell in the cafeteria, students were able to enjoy a yogurt parfait topped with baobab sweetened granola while they participated in their first discussion of the book.
Starting our Friday the best way we know how - building Falcon pride across campuses! 💛🖤 This morning, our high schoolers helped kick off the day with a pep rally at the elementary school, bringing energy, excitement, and school spirit to our youngest Falcons!
