It appeared as if Mr. Fahey’s 5th grade science students were simply enjoying cups of lemonade this morning but, in actuality, they were playing the role of scientists. Students are learning about solutions/mixtures and were tasked with making their own lemonade drinks. How do you dilute the mixture? What served as the solute and solvent? Which mixture is more concentrated? These are just some of the questions that were presented during the activity. #PrideInTheHive

We heard there as a fierce competition in Ms. Luckey's 6th grade classroom and we had to stop to investigate. Teams were battling it out in a Jeopardy-style game during a visit by Stephanie Czerniak and Sarah Cox from Cornell Cooperative Extension Wyoming County. All the questions were based on facts about the corn harvest. Bragging rights were at stake and these students took it seriously! #PrideInTheHive

Judging from last night's practice, it looks like we have a group of eager bowlers this year! Will they make it a three-peat and defend their championship titles? We certainly can't wait to cheer them on! #PrideInTheHive

We’re excited about a project that Ms. Consler and Mrs. Lenhard’s Food-Fiber-Fabric (FFF) students are working on with several elementary classes. This week, 8th graders Carol Eaton and Ava Johnston stopped by Mrs. Rechberger’s classroom to share the book “My Monster and Me” by Nadiya Hussain. The kindergartners were then asked to draw their very own monsters, including the creature’s name, likes, and dislikes.
The FFF students are learning how to sew, and will use the monster drawings to create plush versions to gift the younger students. According to Mrs. Consler, “The idea behind this collaborative effort is for our 8th graders to flex their creative muscles, learn useful hand-sewing stitches, and foster community among students in our building.”

How did our seniors usher in their final Homecoming Week at PCS? By getting up really early, heading down to the turf, and spending some quality time together. We also think there may have been some breakfast cooking involved. Kudos to you...soak in every minute with your classmates! #PrideInTheHive #ClassOf2026

How can we describe the GLOW with Your Hands event to someone who has never attended? Simply....it's a really cool event and incredible opportunity for our students.
Yesterday, a group of our high school students joined 1,000+ peers from around the region in attending the annual event at the Genesee County Fairgrounds in Batavia. The goal of GLOW with Your Hands is to provide students with an environment where they can explore careers in manufacturing, agriculture, skilled trades, and healthcare through hands-on activities and networking with professionals. From welding to flying drones to learning about becoming a first responder…there was something for everyone. #PrideInTheHive

Ms. Stead and Mrs. Harasimowicz are collaborating on a Food Club for several of our elementary friends. The goal is to expose students to new foods in a safe, familiar environment. Sometimes students are preparing new snacks, participating in new sensory-related activities, and much more.

Mr. Shuskey’s high school Aquatics students had an incredible hands-on learning opportunity while visiting Loon Lake in Steuben County last week. The Loon Lake Watershed Improvement Alliance invited the class to conduct research on the aquatic plant community in the southern part of the lake and examine the zooplankton community in the lake. Additional fish studies will be conducted in the spring. #PrideInTheHive
