The Social Studies Honors Class and various students in Mrs. Richir’s room at the middle-high school helped to create clothes pin magnetic note holders for local veterans through the help of the Northern Chautauqua County Community Foundation grant. The students wanted to acknowledge the veterans' sacrifices for our country on Veterans Day and to say thank you for their service. These will be dropped off to the Cassadaga American Legion Post 1280.

It's a beautiful day in The Valley!

“You’ve been BOOED” ! The students from Mrs. Richir’s ninth grade honors Social Studies class helped deliver small treats to staff around the middle-high school Friday, thanks to a grant from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation.
Friday the 6th graders were able to participate in “Math and Treating.” Students were able to visit eight different stops spread out on the first floor of the M/HS to solve a math problem and earn a fun treat. The kids had a great time!

It’s Halloween and unfortunately the weather is absolutely frightening... The weather forecast predicts rain all day, so we are not going to be able to hold the Elementary Halloween Parade outside as originally planned. Instead we will have parties in our classrooms and we will post pictures on the website for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for your understanding - it's disappointing that we can't have the parade - but the kids will still have a fun day!!!
