Perry Central School District

Thank you to the volunteers from Perry and Perry Center Fire Departments, along with Perry Ambulance staff, for making this another memorable Fire Safety and Prevention Day at PES! We have to give a shoutout to Mrs. Greenaker for organizing the week and Officer Spink for helping facilitate the fun. This is a prime example of why we love our community. #PrideInTheHive 💙💛🐝

🚒 🔥 We're kicking off Fire Safety and Prevention Week with visits to the Perry Fire Department! Several classes joined Mr. Tom McLaughlin and Officer Spink downtown this afternoon to tour the facilities and learn about the important work of these volunteers. #PrideInTheHive

📚 Ms. Wilkie and her K-3 students are excited to welcome bestselling author and Rochester native Jonathan Graziano to the PES Library in a couple weeks! In the meantime, classes are enjoying books like "Noodles Conquers Comfy Mountain" and "The No Bones Day." In his books, Graziano provides important life lessons with help from his dogs, who are the main characters. This incredible opportunity is possible thanks to the Act 4 Community. #PrideInTheHive

Yesterday was filled with learning, exploration, and fun for a group of our high school students. They joined hundreds of their counterparts from around the region at GLOW with Your Hands. The annual event brought professionals from agriculture, manufacturing, skilled trades, and healthcare to the Genesee County Fairgrounds in Batavia to help students learn about high-demand careers. Students spent the day immersed in hands-on activities, and connected with dozens of vendors and exhibitors. Thank you to all who help bring this event to fruition each year! 🩺 🚜 👩‍🏭

🍎 Tomorrow is Johnny Appleseed's birthday and our kindergartners are celebrating by making homemade apple sauce...yum! #PrideInTheHive

It’s not just about rhinestones and sparkles today at PCS. Well, there are also cowboy boots, belt buckles, flannel, and fringe. Our festivities in honor of the iconic late Dolly Parton are shining a light on kindness and show small acts can make a HUGE difference! #PrideInTheHive ✨ 🤠 🩷

Mrs. Lenhard and Mrs. Kelsey's Food, Fabric and Fiber students learned a hard lesson this morning - sometimes cooking is all about trial and error. Groups developed their own smoothie recipes, focusing on fruit, vegetable and protein servings. Reviews were mixed, but they did successfully follow a budget for ingredients and execute the recipes. #PrideInTheHive

Sometimes we catch a special moment that just makes us smile. Yesterday, senior Carter Evans was lifeguarding in the PCS pool during a visit from elementary students. Our friend Connor was a little nervous about being in the water and Carter took the time to introduce himself and explain to Connor that he was there to keep him safe while he swam. A simple moment of kindness from a senior made the experience less stressful for a first grader. It doesn’t get better than that. 💙💛🐝

It's never too early to educate our students about responding to an emergency situation. Officer Spink is visiting kindergartners this week to discuss when it's an appropriate time to dial 9-1-1 and the questions they will be asked by the dispatcher. #PrideInTheHive

The PCS Drama Club is bringing a fall play to the stage this year! The cast and crew had their first read through of "Clue" last night and are eager for audiences to see the show in November. More information will be shared soon! #PrideInTheHive

Yesterday we were reminded of how lucky we are to have a school community that is so incredibly supportive of our students and families. Counselors Laura Kettle and Emily Statler accepted a $800 donation from Tuesday Club for the PCS Snack Pack Program. The pair was joined by Tuesday Club members Barb Glenn, Diane Murphy, Lena Sank, Lauren Shearing, Susan Bieger, and Cindy Bieger.
For the last two decades, the PCS Snack Pack Program has been providing district families with non-perishable food items for meals and snacks over weekends and extended breaks. We generally assist around 20+ families each school year. The program is funded by the New Testament Church in Perry with support from Foodlink. Tuesday Club raised the donated funds at this year’s Chalk Art Festival. 💛💙🐝

"This is amazing!" A first grader was particularily excited after eating gelato from Burley Berries and Blooms at today's Ag Day at PES. The morning was filled with sampling dairy-based foods, learning about the Perry FFA, climbing on tractors, petting farm animals, and much more.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Huttar and the Perry FFA, Stephanie Czerniak and Wyoming County Cornell Cooperative Extension, Burley Berries and Blooms, Milk for Health, Batavia Landpro Equipment, the Harwood and Mack families, Old Acres Farm, and Zielenieski Farms. #PrideInTheHive

🐮 Mrs. Gilsinan and Mrs. Wilcox were so udderly mooo-ved that today is Elementary Ag Day, they came to school dressed like cows! #PrideInTheHive

♟️We love seeing the camaraderie and conversations between the students competing in Mr. Fetzner's 26th annual chess tournament! Some students stop by 10th period not to compete, but to learn more about the game. #PrideInTheHive

Are you ready to roll?! 🚲
It's a question that the members of the 5/6 Grade Bike Club love hearing every fall and spring. The group kicked off their season yesterday with Mrs. McDanel, and volunteers Lisa Patterson, Robin Manning, Alison Smithley, Dana Skinner, and Kris Goodell. In addition to weekly rides around town, the club focuses on teaching bike safety. 😎 #PrideInTheHive

⚠️ Warning: Artists at work! Mrs. Emerson's ceramics students are creating their first projects of the school year, focusing on the three hand building techniques - pinching, coiling, and slab building. #PrideInTheHive

LPW football opened the season on Friday with a loss to Alexander/Pembroke, but it was a night of remembrance and gratitude as the teams marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and honored all first responders in attendance.

It's Throwback Thursday and we're reminiscing about our seniors writing a book titled "Unforgettable Freaky Frogs." 🐸 #PrideInTheHive #ClassOf2027

Mrs. Huttar is introducing her 7th grade agriculture students to the Perry FFA. Students are learning about the official dress, FFA degrees they can earn, leadership and competition opportunities, and much more. Their FFA journey starts right here at PCS! #PrideInTheHive

As her 7th grade science students start lab assignments, Mrs. Rockcastle is preparing them to think like scientists! In an effort to highlight the importance of communication, following directions, and thinking outside the box, students were asked this morning to assemble puzzles without being able to talk to their group members. #PrideInTheHive
