The 2023-24 Boy's Bowling team is headlined by a trio of seniors that have been starters since the team's inaugural season (2021-22). Calvin Hilliker (All-Division 1st Team - 2x, 2nd team 1x ), Matthew Helwig (All-Division 1st Team - 1x, 2nd team 1x) and Hayden Carr have all played pivotal roles in the success of the program over the past 3 years. Returning from last year is much improved senior Caden Frost. Newcomers to this years' team that will be leading the way in the future are Jordan Swanson (Junior), Matthew Runge (Junior) and Gavin Penhollow (Sophomore). This team will forever hold a special place for me and Cassadaga Valley history because of the undertaking of 2 amazing young men. Prior to the 21-22 season, Calvin Hilliker & Matthew Helwig put in an extraordinary amount of time and effort to follow all the necessary steps to create a bowling team. In just 3 years, their achievements have led to the addition of a Girl's and Unified bowling teams. It is incredible that the creation of 3 sports programs can be directly linked to the accomplishments of these remarkable student athletes. From the bottom of my heart and speaking on behalf of the entire Cougar Community, thank you for everything. Without Calvin & Matt none of this would be possible.

The whole Cassadaga Valley school community would like to celebrate Emiley Anderson on her 1,000th career point for our Lady Cougars Basketball Team! 🏀🏀Emiley embodies hard work, dedication, and quiet confidence in everything that she does. We are so proud to have her as a member of our team!
Congratulations on this exceptional accomplishment! 🏆
The Cassadaga Valley Girls Bowling team, entering its second year of existence, is full of youthful energy as all members are underclassmen. Leading the way is Emma Nickerson (8th Grade) who currently holds a top 5 average in the division. Returning starters from last year's inaugural squad are Addison Helwig (Sophomore) and Mattea Hilliker (Freshman). New additions to the team include Xabrina Szablewski (Sophomore) and Katreena O'Rourke (8th Grade). Given how young the team is and how rapidly they all are improving, the future looks very promising. It is a pleasure to coach such a wonderful group of young ladies. 🎳 Go Cougars!!!

Check out the School Social Workers' January newsletter, regarding school refusal and avoidance https://5il.co/2bsv5. School Refusal can be a result of multiple different things. It could be avoidance, anxiety, a youth being tired, due to bullying, a test, and many other reasons. School refusal is a regular refusal to attend school or routine problems staying at school. School refusal is considered a symptom, is not a mental health diagnosis, but could be a part of another anxiety disorder, PTSD, or an adjustment disorder.
