Perry Central School District

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!

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

This year, Mrs. Lowery is giving 8th graders a glimpse into the business world.

Varsity Boys' Soccer Result - 9/11 Perry 2 Mount Morris 1 OT/2 The boys were down 1-0 for a majority of the game and kept pushing for an equalizer. That goal finally came with 1 minute remaining in the game when Holden Kelly sent a cross into Dom Hurlburt who put it past the keeper to make it 1-1. Then, 2 minutes into the second overtime period, Holden Kelly dribbled down the left side past two Mount Morris defenders and decided to take a shot from the corner of the 18. The shot floated into the right side of the net over the keeper to win the game 2-1. It was an all-around great team effort and an important first win in the division.
