Varsity Boys' Soccer Results - 9/8
Perry 10
Hammondsport 2
The game was tightly contested for much of the first half and the boys went into half time with just a narrow 3-1 lead. Early in the second half Junior captain Holden Kelly scored an incredible 25 yard curling shot with the outside of his foot into the top left corner to make it 4-1, and he wasn’t done there. Kelly ended the game with 8 goals and one assist, tying the New York State record set in 1968 by Dennis Mills of Friendship for goals in a single game. The boys are now 3-1 on the season and have their first divisional game on Monday versus Mt. Morris.
What happens after a new piece of instructional equipment is assembled by our O and M crew? It has to be tested. Mr. Goodell and Mr. Walczak ensure the new side-by-side bike is in working order. They have confirmed the bike is ready for service.

Wait, who are these big kids?! We're just 3 days into the school year and our UPK students - our youngest learners - are quickly settling into their daily routines and proving to be rockstars at PES! #PrideInTheHive

The Perry varsity boys soccer team extended their record to 2-0 on Tuesday night defeating Lima Christian. Dom Hurlburt and Holden Kelly both had 4 goals a piece. Kelly also chipped in with 3 assists. Zac Narowski added a goal and Makai Miller contributed with one assist.

There were very few tears, lots of hugs, and even more excitement as students walked through our doors this morning. Today was about getting back into routines, connecting with teachers and classmates, seeing old friends, and laying the groundwork for a successful school year. Welcome Back!!!!! #PrideInTheHive #FirstDayOfSchool

“All things are possible when one works with a good team. Our team is the best!”
That was Superintendent McLaughlin’s message this morning during his opening address to faculty and staff members. PCSD has established itself as a leader in academics, school safety, technology, performing arts, etc. throughout our BOCES region. You, our community, has entrusted us with this immense responsibility and we have assembled the best team members to help us rise to the challenge. We won’t let you down. #PrideInTheHive
The District's playground contractor installed the remaining gates, and safety signage/stickers. The swings have been lowered. The playground is officially open for business!
We ask individuals to stay off the restored landscaping to allow the grass to grow. Thank you for your patience. Enjoy the new playground!
PCS Family Members:
The District received the following correspondence from the Deputy Secretary for Education Maria Fernandez:
"The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides all households in your district $30 a month assistance if they are enrolled in the Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch Program and/or the School Breakfast Program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)."
The District received notification this year that both its buildings qualify for the USDA's CEP which provides free meals (Breakfast and Lunch) for all students. The District will be providing its families with documentation in order to make application for the ACP. Please review District mailings for application information.
The District received approval from its site engineer to open the tennis/pickleball courts. The locks have been taken off the gates. Temporary signage has been installed (Permanent signage has been ordered and will be installed later). We will schedule a grand opening at a later date.
The courts are open for business (Already have players taking advantage of the facilities). Enjoy!
Over the last few weeks Ms. Rybak and Mrs. Kramell's enrichment class has been busy learning more life skills! During the class's financial literacy unit, local real estate agent Kelly Roche came in to teach the class about the home-buying/apartment-hunting process. Kelly even gave the students great tips about the importance of networking, and information on how to budget their money.
Students also took a couple of different field trips to McClurg's Chrysler to learn about the car-buying process, tour cars on the lot, and to even learn about basic car maintenance and upkeep. Lastly, students completed a unit on cooking and nutrition. The students worked together to create a "class cookbook" and then brought some of their recipes to life by taking a trip up to Perry Marketplace to shop for their ingredients and then returned to the school to actually cook their meals.
Even though Ms. Rybak and Mrs. Kramell are sad to see the summer class come to an end, they are hopeful that these students gained a wealth of skills and knowledge that will last them a lifetime. Students will end the summer by receiving a folder with all of the important information that was taught this summer. #PrideInTheHive

Signage has been ordered. Custom windscreens have been ordered. Bleachers have been constructed (Thank you PCS O & M crew). Trash bins have been installed. Benches will be installed when the protective padding (Ordered) arrives. Finish landscaping has been completed.
The finish line is in sight!
