Accompanied by her family, colleagues, and students, Jr./Sr. High Principal Rebecca Belkota was recognized this morning as an ATHENA Leadership Award finalist at the inaugural celebration hosted by the Livingston County Area Chamber at SUNY Geneseo.
The awards honor local women dedicated to community, professionalism, and leadership. The Chamber sought nominations last summer, seeking examples of professional leadership, community leadership, personal leadership or mentorship. Principal Belkota embodies all of that. We are grateful to have her at PCS and congratulate her on being named a finalist!
Congratulations to all the finalists, especially Ms. Helen Serefine for being named the ATHENA Award winner in Livingston County.

Sometimes, when you get the feeling, you just have to dance!
That’s exactly what Coach Weber and Coach Ohlson’s grades 4-6 Physical Education students did yesterday. Special guests Ruben Ornelas (Dancer/Choreographer), Alaina Olivieri (Dance Instructor), and Ted Canning (Percussionist), from the GLOW Creative Group through Go Art, helped students learn more about different dance patterns like extension, flexion, rotation, etc. This was all done to the beat of Mr. Canning’s drumming. Students had the opportunity to freely express themselves through a variety of movement patterns. The trio will be joining classes again in the future. (Thanks to Coach Weber for the photos)

It's difficult to not be impressed when you walk into Mrs. Emerson's High School Art Room. This afternoon, senior Lauren Holderer was working on this beautiful acrylic painting of a phoenix that she's completing for an independent art study. We have such talented students! #PrideInTheHive
It's about making that connection with our students. And if it can be done over a shared love of books...even better. #PrideInTheHive
We are family! That's exactly what Mrs. Borek wants her third graders to remember. This morning, she surprised her class with t-shirts displaying the message "We are family. I've got all my classmates and me." They regularly discuss the fact that as a class family they need to support one another. #PrideInTheHive #PCSDfamily
It was a big night for senior Abby Rockcastle as she was honored at the meet against Livonia. She won the 50 Free and 500 Free, qualifying for sectionals. With those two events, Abby has now qualified for sectionals in all individual events!
PCS/Letch suffered a 117-58 loss. Liz Wright won the 200 IM with a 7-second time drop and the 100 Fly. Ella Swyers placed second in the 100 Breaststroke. Autumn Mann dropped 6 seconds in the 200 IM for a new PR and Hunter Schroder dropped 3 seconds in the 100 free.
The team will celebrate Letchworth seniors, Lila Bailey and Hunter Schroder, on October 10 for the last home meet in Letchworth. #PrideInTheHive #ClassOf2024
While discussing the role of good leaders, Mrs. Huttar introduced her 8th grade agriculture students to a team building activity. The challenge was, within the allotted five minutes, to build the tallest free-standing structure with the provided materials, including one piece of duct tape and eight pieces of construction paper (and no scissors). After a couple stressful attempts, the class then debriefed as to what worked for each group, what challenges they faced, and if a member took on a leadership role. #PrideInTheHive

This morning, Miss Smith and members of the High School Stand Up Club were stationed at the HS doors in order to greet students during arrival time. The group is kicking off “Start with Hello Week,” an initiative from Sandy Hook Promise that aims to create a school culture of kindness, inclusivity and empathy.
Throughout this national call-to-action week, Stand Up members are promoting dress up day themes, reading inspirational quotes over the announcements, and encouraging daily kindness missions. Whether it’s introducing themselves to someone new or listening to a different perspective, Stand Up is challenging all PCS family members to go outside their comfort zones, include others, and be kind!

Mrs. Bellamy's grades 4-7 art students are celebrating International Dot Day with a collaborative art project. Great work! #PrideInTheHive
Sometimes you just need to be silly! They work hard on the courts and fields, all awhile keeping up with school work and personal obligations, but our student-athletes need to find time to unwind and have some fun. That's exactly what the girls' modified and JV soccer teams did when Coach Rowley suggested a scavenger hunt and team building activities. Looks like they had a great time! #PrideInTheHive
Our 7/8 band isn't wasting a minute of rehearsal time under the tutelage of Ms. Jessica Gottschall, ES/JH General/Instrumental teacher. We can't wait to hear the beautiful music this group creates over the next many months! #PrideInTheHive
One of Mrs. Adolf's favorite days is coming up this Friday....International Dot Day! The concept for the day is based on Peter H. Reynold's book "The Dot," which celebrates creativity, courage and collaboration. Just like the book's main character, Vashti, Mrs. Adolf is challenging her elementary art students to experiment with abstract art. Just a small dot on a page can be the start of our students "making their mark." #PrideInTheHive
