"Letters To Daddy" is a little musical that packs a powerful message — and one surrounding the impacts and ramifications of bullying and bully culture.
Our Falcon Players cast members all shared their thoughts on bullies, being bullied, and bystanders.
We will be sharing them day-by-day, leading up to the show. Today, we conclude cast members Julia Rogers, Kara Siurano, and Director Tina Bauder.
Rogers said:
"I love everything about theatre and Letters to Daddy is no exception. This show takes us on a journey of self reflection. We get to think about things on purpose and learn to look at things from a different perspective. That is the key to learning kindness, for yourself and those around us."
Siurano said:
"When it comes to being in musicals, I love almost everything about it, the acting, singing and the community you build with the cast. Letters to Daddy is a really powerful show and has a lot of really important messages. It's a sad reality that bullying is a really big part of society and our schools. I think it's important to talk about it and this show is an excellent way to build the conversations. The more we talk about it the kinder I hope we can all be to each other."
Bauder said:
"As a public school teacher I spend a lot of time working with young people in an effort to try to end the trend of mean behaviors and bullying. I see and experience rude, mean and bullying behaviors from many angles over the course of any given day. Quite honestly, it is overwhelming at times. I believe the most important thing I can continue to do is to work diligently every day to build positive and healthy relationships with and between people so that everyone feels heard, connected and part of something bigger than just themselves. Healthy connections lead to happier lives. It is so important that we listen to our kids and help them work through relationship struggles, even when they act like they don’t want or need us involved. Letters to Daddy gives us a platform to talk about all of this and more."
The Falcon Players will perform their musical production on the South Seneca HS Auditorium stage THIS Friday, March 17th, Saturday the 18th & Sunday 19th!
Here are our High School student and staff of the month. Congrats to Mia, Christian, and Rob! Well deserved! #foreverfalcons

We will be sharing them day-by-day, leading up to the show. Today, we continue with Choreographer Chad Eastman and Vocal and Tech Director Jared Pratt.
Eastman said:
"I enjoy the art of creating. Some of my favorite theatrical moments have been in creating unusual props, bold make-up and set paint designs, and even just pulling the curtain. One of the things I like most about theatre is the ability to be free and just have fun. This show offers us the chance to have fun and still learn together. This is the kind of show that inspires young actors to grow and become strong activists for positive change."
Pratt said:
"Bullying is unavoidable until people can start to make the conscious choice to be kind to one another, always. Letters to Daddy has a strong message of positivity and is one that I try to live by."
The Falcon Players will perform their musical production on the South Seneca HS Auditorium stage March 17th, 18th & 19th!

We will be sharing them day-by-day, leading up to the show. Today, we continue with 6th grader Sophia Jennings and Junior Samantha Barkee.
Jennings said:
"I like how the show is about bullying because it's an important topic."
Barkee said:
"Bullying is not good of course and it doesn't affect my life that much but I know it can be a big problem for some people. Bystanders are hard to have an opinion on because most of the time you can't expect them to be the ones to do something about the bullying. But if they can they should do something to help the victim."

Congrats to Seth and Ella! #foreverfalcons
Our first visit with RocDog was a success! Since the goal of their visits is to make people smile — we thought sharing them with you all would be a good idea.

Paparone said:
"There should be less bullying in the world."
Nelson said:
"They are all realities and we all know someone who fits into at least one of the categories, but if we think about it and put in effort we can better recognize why and work to change it."

Elementary parents, take note!
Jared Campbell paid South Seneca Elementary a visit earlier this week. We were so lucky to have him — our students loved him!
Jared is an award winning singer/songwriter from upstate New York and has been traveling the country performing for thousands of people and hundreds of schools over the past decade. He’s shared the stage with famous bands and musicians and has also been featured on TV. He’s been acknowledged by Billboard Magazine as one of the top independent musicians in the northeast.
His songs are said to be uplifting, thought provoking and emotionally heartfelt. Jared mixes humor, stories of life on road and personal experience to relate to the audience set before him.
Thanks again Jared!

We will be sharing them day-by-day, leading up to the show. Today, we continue with 7th grader Kelsi Stannard and Junior Lauren McGuire.
Stannard said:
"I think that bullying is a really bad thing to do."
McGuire said:
"I think that if you can sit and watch someone mistreat another person, you're just as bad. You were the attacker, but your silence is participation."
