Toward the end of the school year, representatives from Sidney Federal Credit Union helped put on a real-world event for seniors.

The event centered on seniors having to react to real-world events to understand budgets. With a chosen career and salary, students had to go to different tables and understand different variables of what happens with their money, as well as what kind of bills and expenses they can expect.

The end result was showing the students that they often will have to make tough decisions and understand the big difference between wants and needs.

Thank you to SFCU for continuing to partner with the Sidney Central School District to help prepare students for their futures!

The eighth-grade team (Mrs. Stento, Ms. Harclerode, Ms. Howard, and Mr. Sims) were trained in Project-Based Learning this year. Students recently had the culmination of a project, which was a social studies/ELA project about people who are making “good trouble.” Students researched a topic of their choice and created a pop-up museum exhibit. And thanks to a wonderful day of weather, they were able to utilize one of Sidney’s new outdoor learning spaces for the museum. All eighth-grade students were able to visit the exhibits and ask questions. Other projects this year included a Spanish/ELA project, as well as a math/social studies project. Great job! #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD

Earlier this month, first graders in Mrs. Woodyshek’s class culminated a lesson with camping in the classroom. Students did camping math in their tents, ate s’mores, went fishing for math facts, and made bug jars with their fingerprints. A fun finish to a lesson! #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD
