We watched them walk through our doors as reluctant UPK students but, through the years, we’ve provided them with the tools and a safe space to build confidence, learn, and grow as individuals. We’ve set them on the course to follow their dreams, whether it’s as artists, performers, educators, athletes, soldiers, innovators, scientists, or a million other aspirations. They are ready.

They've officially become kindergartners!!!
(The orange ribbon each UPK graduate wore during last night's UPK ceremony is in memory of Aurora Putney, a member of the Class of 2036.)
Addison Dillon and her classmates in Mrs. Reagan's classroom enjoyed a sweet treat today thanks to Yummies in Warsaw! Addison earned second place with her creation "Chocolate Explosion" in Yummies' Sweet 16 ice cream flavor contest this spring. Val from Yummies generously donated a box of the flavor to Mrs. Reagan for her third graders to enjoy. YUM! #PrideInTheHive #WeAllScreamForIceCream
You honestly cannot beat the morning we had at PCS. We welcomed friends from Letchworth and LeRoy Central Schools to join 16 of our students in participating in the Special Olympics at our Athletic Complex. Yet another example of why we do what we do. The student-athletes (and adults) had a blast and everyone went home with a ribbon and t-shirt. Thank you to the Special Olympics, Mr. Wyant for organizing the event, our incredible classroom teachers and staff members, high school students Bryce Tallman, Rachel Kuhlkin, Reilly Bertrand, Sawyer West, and Adrian Yang for volunteering today – and, most of all, our awesome student-athletes! #PrideInTheHive

Fifth graders Leah Manchester, Ryleigh Fagan, and Ethan Massett read their winning DARE essays. #PrideInTheHive
This is why we do what we do. It's worth having to clean paint and glitter from fingers, toes, the floor and various surfaces in the elementary art room in order to see the sheer joy on the faces of Ms. Warner's students. This morning, Mrs. Adolf invited the class to join her in some hand and feet painting and, as you can see, it was a success! #PrideInTheHive

At last week's NYS Athletic Administrators' Association Chapter 5 Dennis E. Fries Awards Luncheon, Mr. Wyant, HS Assistant Principal/Athletic Director, was able to award Trisha Rippel, Assistant Transportation Coordinator, with a Chapter 5 Appreciation Award.
As Mr. Wyant said, "I can't thank Trisha enough for her ability to coordinate transportation of our student-athletes to and from all of their athletic contests and practices. Since I have started in this position, we have added many "Sports Runs." This includes practices for our merged football and swim teams, to the addition of our riflery and indoor track programs, along with runs for our tennis and track teams who needed to go off-campus due to construction. Trisha was able to provide runs for all of these events and, if she couldn't find a driver to cover, she would take it upon herself to get our student-athletes to their destination. I appreciate the hard work and dedication Trisha has given our District." Congratulations, Trisha! #PrideInTheHive
At the annual HS Picnic on May 26, the Yearbook Club dedicated this year's edition, titled "Small Town Big Dreams," to Cheryl Hayes.
