Congratulations to Sidney CSD student Jaiylee Adams, who designed the poster for the upcoming Upstate Renaissance Faire, which will be held August 23-24 at the Chenango County Fairgrounds in Norwich.
The Faire teamed with Stephanie Straub’s Advertising Design class for the second straight year, giving students a chance to collaborate in a real-world environment. Heather Baker, an occupational therapist at Sidney, owns the Faire.
Jaiylee was presented tickets to the Faire for her winning design, which has been being used to promote the event.
Great job!

At the end of the year, Dale Beckwith’s physical education classes took on th challenge of a triathlon on campus. The course was two laps in the pool (100 yards), and then bike up West Main Street to Circle Drive, and back to the school (two miles), followed by the third event – a lap around the outside of Alumni Field and back to the finish line (one mile).
Three of the students (Josh McNamara, Connor van der Sommen, and Parker Harrington) went beyond the normal triathlon and did an “ironman” version where they each did the course twice.

Week two is in the books! The summer enrichment program brought creativity, curiosity, and sunshine!
Week two offered another round of hands-on learning, joyful experiences, and beautiful weather! Our students stayed active, engaged, and, most importantly, left each day smiling (and a little tired, too!).
Highlights from the week included:
- A dive into the imaginative world of Dr. Seuss
- Exploring sea turtle facts and habitats
- Art history lessons and hands-on creativity
- Summertime cooking fun
- Mystery-solving and puzzle challenges
- Plenty of crafts and colorful creations
- El Verano Brillante (“The Bright Summer”)—a vibrant cultural experience
- And our Sports Camp focus: Tennis!
Our reading groups also continued, providing meaningful check-ins to help students stay connected with books and build those all-important reading habits we value year-round.
Two more weeks remain!

Toward the end of the school year, earth science students had the chance to go on a field trip to Taughannock Falls State Park in Trumansburg. During the trip, hiked the gorge and made several stops to study the geology and natural history of the area.
The gorge offered a way for students to apply and review geology concepts that were taught in the classroom, while also enjoying the day in the Finger Lakes region.
The hike ended at the base of Taughannock Falls, where students observed the 215-foot-high waterfall. Taughannock is the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains.
