Weekly Update - November 16th, 2025

Each year in the U.S., an estimated 15,780 children (ages birth–19) are diagnosed with cancer. About 65 of those brave kids live right here in Central New York. 💛

On Friday, November 21st, our district is joining the Paige’s Pajamarama Friendly Battle of the Schools to support these children and their families!

👕 How to participate:

💰 Make a donation online or at school. Student Council is collecting cash donations during lunch all week.

🩵 Wear your favorite pajamas to school! We'll celebrate with a yearbook photoshoot at lunches on Friday!

All donations go directly to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital to help children and families fighting cancer.

Let’s come together for a great cause and maybe even win the Battle of the School Districts!

The Seal of Civic Readiness is an award that recognizes a student's high level of civic knowledge, skills, and mindset. The seal goes on student transcripts/diplomas upon graduation and students receive a medal to wear at graduation to recognize their accomplishment.

Senior Social Studies teachers have been given the forms that students need to fill out if they are interested in earning the seal. The interest forms (also available at this link) are due on November 21st.
