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!

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. While we mourn her loss, we also celebrate her life, and everyone she made an impact on wherever she went. Her obituary is at https://obits.syracuse.com/us/obituaries/syracuse/name/beverley-hancox-obituary?id=53206194

Vocal Jazz is our select, auditioned Show Choir at the High School. They are learning about improvisation, and they have been working on building community. They have combined these things by scat singing in pairs in question-answer form, by singing "stories" in pairs, and playing the game "hats" as shown in the picture. Playing "hats" needs students to create a character based on the hat they are wearing and interacting with other people. Pictured are Molly Stirlen, Christian McCoy, Sylvia Brock, and Kenny Halsey.
It was Meet the Principal and Open House night for the Elementary School last night, and it did not disappoint! Lots of smiles all around. Everyone is ready to have a great year! #foreverfalcons
