Happy School Board Recognition Week! We are so grateful for everything the South Seneca Board of Education does and wouldn't be able to do what we do without them! #foreverfalcons
Students made these beautiful arrangements with pumpkins last week during Crafting Club at MS/HS Extended Day! Thank you to Eastman Farms for donating the pumpkins!
This week in pictures! Student Council Reps met this week. I caught some live music courtesy of our band. 4th graders time traveled to the Eight Square Schoolhouse! Finally a big thank you to our local Fire Departments for coming in for Fire Safety Week!
Shannon Brock, owner of Silver Thread Vineyard in Lodi, NY, visited the South Seneca Plant Science classes this week. Bringing three different types of grapes for students to dissect and sample (Marquis, Niagara, and Gewurztraminer), Brock discussed the similarities and differences of different grape varieties, which grape varieties are grown in the Finger Lakes area, the purposes that the different grape varieties have, how harvesting is done, and many other grape and vineyard related topics. Students were able to ask questions that they had about the grape industry and have those questions answered on the spot!
Working in a science-related field requires specific tools and the ability to make precise and accurate measurements. Just ask our Intro to Agriculture students who are working on just that!
Getting right back into instruction after the long weekend! #foreverfalcons #southsenecacsd

We were saddened this week to learn of the passing of Bev Hancox, who contributed so much to the South Seneca family over the years.
