Seventh graders in Maryssa Wilson’s Agriculture 7 class recently learned about the history of hot chocolate. Some of what they learned included how and why it changed from a bitter and cold drink to a warm and sweet drink.
Students then had the opportunity to put their recipe reading skills to the test and find creative hot chocolate recipes. Some included peanut butter, orange zest, and frozen.
Tasty!

Retired Sidney CSD music teacher Gregg Norris stopped by the district Wednesday to drop off gift cards courtesy of the Gateway Alliance Church. The cards will be given to students/families within our community this holiday season.
Gateway Alliance Church approached the district at the beginning of the year to see how it could support the school and students. After speaking with district officials, the church purchased gift cards for businesses in the area. Since then, the church has been able to purchase 40 cards at stores such as Dollar General, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, and Walmart. School counselors will collaborate on the distribution of the cards, as needed.
Norris said Gateway has been excited to partner with the district, and look forward to an ongoing relationship moving forward.
Thank you Gateway for supporting our students and families!
Receiving the gift cards on behalf of Sidney CSD is Director of Curriculum/School Improvement Tony Stenta.

SSADD (Sidney Students Against Destructive Decisions) recently attended the annual Teen Institute Conference in Penn Yann.
The Teen Institute, which began in 1980, is a seminar that equips high school students to prevent substance misuse among their peers. During the conference, the Teen Institute:
• Provides up-to-date information regarding the consequences of alcohol and other drug use and misuse.
• Develops an understanding of prevention.
• Teaches leadership and programming strategies.
• Motivates participants to implement and/or enhance prevention programs in their schools and communities.
What a great experience for our students!
