Every year, the week before spirit week, all of the classes build a wall to represent their class. Teachers vote for the best wall on the last day of spirit week. The winner of the spirit walls gets points towards their class to hopefully win spirit week! This, along with many more competitions and games through the week, will gain their class points. The class with the most points at the end of the week “wins” spirit week and is named the class with the most school spirit!
Cassadaga Valley FFA had a great day at Districts Competition! We are so proud of everyone who spent hours practicing and preparing for this contest. For those who don't know, yesterday’s event was a Leadership Development Event (LDE).

They also help students develop critical thinking skills and teamwork.

- Employment Skills: Taylor Lahnen (7th place)
- Employment Skills: Jackson Hattaway (8th place)
- Employment Skills: Dominick DeGolier (9th place)
-Junior Creed: Makenzie Lahnen (2nd Place🏆)

Mrs. Meeder is so INCREDIBLY proud of each and every one of them!
Congratulations to all of our members and a special shout out to Kenz for placing second in her event/division. She will be heading off to Substates in March to put Cassadaga Valley back in business! 😎
Nice work, Emma Nickerson!
The FFA kids received their new jackets and were so excited they couldn't wait to wear them! Wish them luck as they head off to compete at Districts today in Fillmore.
Also, this is your friendly reminder to support these kids at their pancake breakfast fundraiser (because who doesn't love pancakes, and awesome kids!?) on Sunday, February 16th, at the Stockton Fire Hall from 8AM-12:30PM!
With the first full week in February here, it is officially National School Counseling Week!
National School Counseling Week 2025, “School Counseling: Helping Students Thrive,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), is celebrated from Feb. 3–7, 2025, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. With that, we'd like to take a minute to recognize our 4 amazing counselors!
Marie Torrey, Sinclairville Elementary School Counselor, goes above and beyond each and every day to support all of our students, staff, and parents. Marie focuses on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, career and social/emotional development. Marie works with teachers and other educators to provide the skills students need and the environment in which students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic goals for themselves. Mrs. Torrey is an amazing asset to the Cassadaga Valley community and we thank her for all she does each and every day. - Mrs. Sedlak
Heather Nocero is our High School Counselor, working with our students in grades 9-12. Her work starts with students when they are in eighth grade by helping them to set up their high school schedules in order to achieve the goals that they set for themselves. She helps our students navigate their class choices, pushes into classes to help students find a career path and/or college choice, helps students navigate high school conflict, work through life's difficult moments, and to celebrate all the achievements along the way.
Jacob Wilcox is our Middle School Counselor, working with our students in grades 6-8. His work starts with students when they are in fifth grade, in helping them to get acclimated to the MHS. He sets up fifth grade orientation, works with groups of students on developing executive function skills, helps with conflict resolution, helps students develop organization skills, and is himself a middle-schooler at heart.
We’d also like to thank Amy Raynor for her dedication and unwavering support of our students! This special week provides recognition for school counselors like Amy who implement comprehensive school counseling programs, a vital part of the educational process for all students as they meet the challenges of the 21st century. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
After having worked in a few schools and with various different school counselors throughout my career in education, I can say that the students and staff at Cassadaga Valley are the lucky ones. We have the best counselors that I've ever seen do this job! They are all integral parts of our student services team! - Mr. Tonelli
Most importantly, they ALL appreciate all of our students and families at Cassadaga Valley!
Thank you Heather, Jacob, Amy, and Marie for being a really important part of our students' lives here in The Valley. #ValleyProud #CougarPride #SchoolCounselorWeek
We had a little "Super Bowl iReady Challenge" this week for reading. Whichever "team" passed the most iReady lessons this week would be deemed "Super Bowl Champs." Here are the results.....
Wise - 46 lessons passed
Kelly - 44 lessons passed
Fox - 25 lessons passed
Combined total of 115 lessons passed for the week!
Students were rewarded with lunch in the classroom and a super bowl style Wegmans cookie :) they were pretty excited! Since Mrs. Kelly's class worked so hard as well and were so close to first place, they ate in the classroom with Mrs. Kelly today.
Presenting our SES Cougars with Character for January!! We have such great students!
