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.

- Zip-lining over the canopy of the rain forest
- Hiked up and down the more than 500 steps at La Fortuna Waterfall
- Hiked Santa Helena Cloud Forest and Manuel Antonio State Park
- White-water rafting
- Swimming in the naturally heated volcano springs

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
