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!

Our UPK students recently celebrated the season of gratitude with a special family-style Thanksgiving lunch in the UPK hallway! The celebration was complete with festive tablecloths and handmade “I’m thankful for … “ headbands.
Students gathered around the shared tables, passed food to one another, and enjoyed a meal focused on togetherness, kindness, and community.
To the UPK team, it was more than just a lunch – it was a moment to slow down, connect, and celebrate the joy our littlest learners bring to school each day.
“Life is so busy, especially in UPK land,” teacher Mrs. Dickey said. “We forget to appreciate what matters. We were able to take time this week to reflect and discuss all the good in our lives. We are thankful!”
Mrs. Finch said “Thanksgiving is a time to give, a time to love, and a time to reflect on things in life that matter most.”
Such great work from the staff and UPK kids for creating such a meaningful experience, one filled with gratitude, friendship, and the spirit of the season.

Hey Sidney! We have an update for the elementary school after-school enrichment program!
As we gear up for the second session of our after-school program, we've run into a good problem -- students don't want to leave!
We’ve noticed that swimming and cooking have become two of our most popular activities, and many students are asking to stay when families arrive for pick-up.
To help families plan ahead, we’ve included the swimming and cooking schedules by grade level. We hope this helps make pick-up a little easier—and gives your child a chance to enjoy more of what they love!
Session 2 begins Monday, November 10!
