The high school Science/STEM club held their December meeting. Pictured are the students grouped together and a close-up of their experiment. The club members made predictions and then tested them about their candy canes dissolving in various solutions. Pictured are the candy canes in milk, water and vinegar. The students learned about solutions, solutes, solvents, and control variables.

Good Evening,
Over the weekend, several school districts from throughout our region and across the state received a concerning email. The context of the email posed threats towards Texas schools on Monday morning. Law enforcement and the FBI continue to investigate but have reassured schools that the email has no credibility, there is no known threat, and it is in all likelihood a hoax that originated from somewhere overseas.
While Cassadaga Valley did not receive the email, we are taking precautionary measures to ensure our students and staff are safe. Out of an abundance of caution, you will notice an increase in police presence at our school buildings tomorrow. We will be sure to share any additional information as it becomes available.
Thank You,
Dave Davison

Merry TubaChristmas! 8th grade tuba student, Ben Petry, and Mrs. Zenns participated in the 50th anniversary of TubaChristmas by rehearsing and playing a concert of Christmas Carols arranged for low brass instruments at Eastern Hills Mall in Williamsville. Ben & Mrs. Zenns decorated their instruments with lights and garland (and an elf!) and had a wonderful time playing with the other 80 low brass players! Legendary tubist, Harvey Phillips, began TubaChristmas in 1982 as a music concert held in cities worldwide that celebrates those who play, teach, and compose music for instruments in the tuba family.
