Student Government News:
Student Government Officers and Junior Class Officers attended the New York State Council of Leadership and Student Activities District XI 21st Annual Conference "Leadership Charms" at SUNY Geneseo on March 17th. They were able to network with students from several different school districts, listen to a motivational speaker (Ms. Harriet Turk), and attend workshops. These workshops assisted our student leaders with Homecoming ideas, fundraising ideas, ice breaker ideas, and learning to step out of their comfort zone. The conversations after the Leadership Conference were full of enthusiasm about the event, ideas to implement in our own school district, and wanting to run their own workshop next year!
Here is a picture of the group at the end of the event: (Left to Right) Sarah Albro, Scott Hawley, Cameron Vanselow, Amber Relyea, Ryley Rasmussen, and Mackenzie Welch. Library Notes:
Together with the librarian and director at the Ovid Library, we are raising attention for the upcoming Teen Book Festival in Rochester, Saturday, May 16. (they say it's like a Rock Concert for READERS!). There are 2 design contests available. Check it out! The website link is www.teenbookfest.org.
Falcon Flyers Flyin' High!
On March 11th the Falcon Flyers Academic Recognition program celebrated 151 students who were passing all their classes during the second quarter and 60 students who improved their overall average from 1st to 2nd quarter. The “Beat the Winter Blues” event featured a tropical atmosphere and served up banana split sundaes and treat bags filled with colored lens sunglasses, flip flop keychains, gummie sharks, and “catch a wave” bubble gum. A fun time was had by all!
