The Boys Varsity Basketball Team recently won 43-22 at home against Pine Valley; breaking their losing streak and bringing new beginnings to the future of the team! This is their first win since 1/11/2024, in their game against Silver Creek (66-54 Cougars). After a lot of training, dedication in the off-season, and new mentalities, it can only go up from here! #StudentinfluencerCameron
We’re all holly and jolly here in The Valley! #TheValleySparkles
PreK students in Mrs. Peterson’s class earned enough "Peterson Pennies" to build their own gingerbread houses — with a little help from some of the older kids at SES! 🍬🏠
Mrs. Nowicki’s students joined their class to guide the littles as they assembled and decorated their creations, and the results were fantastic. Everyone had a wonderful time working together, and we’re so proud of their teamwork and creativity.
We can’t wait for our next collaboration! ❤️💙

Our 9th and 10th grade Social Studies Honors students spent the day volunteering with the incredible Blue Star Mothers and Fathers whose mission is to support U.S. military members, veterans, and their families through service and care.
Students rolled up their sleeves and worked alongside volunteers to unload everything from individual cars to large trucks filled with pallets of donated items—each one destined for a care package that will soon be shipped to our troops. 📦🚚
Meanwhile, our HS & MS History Clubs helped spread some holiday cheer by creating hundreds of heartfelt cards to be placed inside the boxes. These messages of gratitude and encouragement will bring a little bit of home—and a lot of holiday spirit—to the men and women bravely serving and protecting our country. ❤️💙🇺🇲
We are incredibly proud of our Cassadaga Valley students for demonstrating compassion, teamwork, and civic responsibility. A huge shout out to the SS teachers: Mr. Stimson, Mr. Schrader and Mrs. Richir for all they do for our students. This is what community looks like. This is #ValleyProud!

Last night, members of the Lady Cougars basketball team added some glitter and sparkle to the evening as they rang the bell at the Sinclairville Superette in support of the Salvation Army. Their kindness didn't stop there, they spread holiday cheer by handing out candy canes and sharing their home game schedule with the community. The Lady Cougars were proud to give back and brighten the season for all who stopped by! #TheValleySparkles #ValleyProud
🎄🔬 The High School Science Club is getting festive!
At their December meeting and Christmas party, students got hands-on with a magic milk experiment — and it was a hit! 🥛✨Milk is packed with minerals, proteins, and fats. When the dish soap enters the milk, the fat begins to break up and the soap molecules run around and try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. Normally, this process would be invisible… but add a little food coloring, and suddenly the science comes alive in swirling, colorful motion! 🌈🧪
Such a fun way to mix holiday cheer with a splash of chemistry! 🎅🏼💡

At the Fredonia Varsity Steelers hockey game, on December 6th, player Angelica Mullen chose Mr. Spitzer as her Mentor for the Mentor Appreciation Game. She said, "He is someone that has made a positive impact in my life, and not just for the obvious reasons concerning sports/athleticism. His daily lessons and encouragement have helped me and many others to become better teammates and people through all areas of life. He cares deeply for all of his students, and only wants the best for each person that steps into the gym. Whether it be through talking about the future or the best conditioning drills, Mr. Spitzer has been a huge role model in my life."
