The 4th grade had a great time this morning at Persoon's Dairy! The kids got to meet the cows, see how the cows are milked using technology (a great STEM connection), and got to try some curds from Lively Run Dairy that are made with the milk from Persoons. What a trip!
Public Notice November 15:
A news article published today included a headline that our Middle-High School was placed into lockdown on Monday, but it would be more accurate to say that the school was “minutes away” from communicating a shelter-in-place protocol to the school community.
Understanding that our outer doors are always locked during a school day, we first received word from law enforcement about the person of concern around 11:25am, and in the roughly twenty minutes when we were clarifying that there was no threat to the school itself, and that we had the most accurate information to include in a public notice, we were informed that the suspect had been taken into custody. During those twenty minutes, we had continuous communication from law enforcement to update us on the situation.
Congrats to Carissa, Luke, and Breana on being this months recipients of Student of the Month and Teacher of the Month. Well deserved! #foreverfalcons

A big thank you to food service worker Sherry Caward and her husband Todd, an apple scientist at USDA apple genetics, for donating about 40 bushels of apples to the South Seneca Central School District! Our students will now be able to keep doctors away for a good long while.
