Students attended a powerful and moving program at the Robert H. Jackson Center on Thursday, April 3. After a guided tour of the Center, students stayed for the evening presentation, which told the incredible true story of Kurt and Edith Leuchter — Holocaust survivors, members of the French Resistance, and immigrants who built a new life in America.
Their story was shared by their daughter, Deborah Stueber, as part of the Center’s Generations Speaker Series. Kurt and Edith, now 96 and 97 years old, joined the program via Zoom to answer student questions and reflect on their life experiences.
Mrs. Richir currently offers a Human Rights & Genocide elective at Cassadaga Valley, and this field trip was open to her class, as well as students from Honors 9, Mr. Stimson's Honors 10, and the History Club.
Deborah Leuchter Stueber has dedicated herself to sharing her parents’ story with schools, universities, and organizations across the country. She believes it is the responsibility of her generation — and future generations — to carry on the legacy of Holocaust survivors and ensure their stories are never forgotten.
When Deborah asked her parents what advice they would give to students, Kurt replied, " Make sure when you hear or read something that you don't automatically believe it. Find out the truth."

On Friday, April 4th, Cassadaga Valley SADD hosted the International Save a Life Tour as part of the annual pre-prom driving while impaired awareness programming. This program was funded by the STOP DWI NY Foundation and put on by Matrix Entertainment. Students experienced virtual reality simulations that showed the dangers of driving while impaired and driving while intoxicated.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department also helped SADD out and brought some STOP DWI goodies along with some other awareness activities! Samantha Gleason (STOP DWI Coordinator), Deputy Beichner, and Deputy Montalban attended all day and visits were also made by Sheriff Quattrone and Deputy Lombardo. Deputies brought along drunk goggles and put students through field sobriety tests with the help of our very own Officer Kent. Deputy Beichner also brought in his K9's to give some students some demonstrations.
We couldn't have done this without the help of our English teachers, History teachers, and Mrs. Bennink as well for giving up class time to get all activities done. Thank you for supporting SADD!

Students in Mrs. Nelsen's Life Skills class have been learning about communication skills with Ms. Pleszewski through visits with guest speakers in different career paths to help them get "life ready". Today, they got to zoom with Vicky Pleszewski, who works at Walt Disney World! Students learned about what it is like to work for Disney World, what it's like to work at Disney's Animal Kingdom, the animals at Animal Kingdom, and also how Mrs. Pleszewski is bilingual and helps guests get some "Disney Magic" everyday! The students learned some Disney communication skills, shared some of their favorite things, and even set up another zoom to talk again and with more Disney cast members about how they communicate with others in their job. They had a BLAST!
