The middle school science club made homemade ice cream while learning about endothermic reactions! Students placed course salt and ice in a gallon size bag to create the chemical reaction. Next, they added the ingredients needed to make ice cream in a separate quart size bag. The quart size bag was placed inside the gallon bag and the shaking began! After a long 15 minutes, according to students, they created ice cream. Once the consistency was correct, students enjoyed their ice cream with sprinkles!
🌟📚 SES Wraps Up a Bright Week of Reading! 📚🌟
Today marked the final day of Read Across America Week, and our Class Color Day did not disappoint! The halls were glowing with bright colors and school spirit as our students proudly represented their classes. 🌈✨
We are so thankful for all of our families who helped make this week such a success. Your support at home helped our reading celebration truly shine bright and glow all week long!
Today was also Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) Day, and our fantastic readers made the most of those moments throughout the day by diving into some of their favorite books. Seeing students excited about reading has been the best part of this entire week! 📖💛
If your student forgot to bring their reading tracker today, no worries! Feel free to send it in on Monday. We are still collecting and counting minutes.
We have no doubt these readers will reach their goal! We’re already well over halfway there and are still waiting for many more trackers to come in from classrooms.
📊 Final reading minute totals and our top contributors will be announced Monday afternoon!
Thank you again for helping make this week such a bright, fun, and memorable experience for our students! 🌟

SES held their annual Family Literacy Night on March 5th to celebrate Read Across America Week. Students participated in several glow in the dark reading and writing activities, enjoyed a colorful treat from the cafeteria and listened to several guests read their favorite stories. There were several community resources sharing information for families (including a visit from the Sinclairville Free Library and Chet!🐐📚) and our favorite iReady characters even made an appearance which led to some great photos! Thank you to everyone who participated!

Cassadaga Valley is thrilled to recognize the outstanding students who have set an incredible example for the entire school community during the month of January. These individuals embody the best of Cassadaga Valley MHS by demonstrating exceptional academic effort, leadership, and positive character both in and out of the classroom. Please join us in celebrating our January Students of the Month! They have been nominated by their teachers for showing consistent dedication, helpfulness, and a commitment to our school values. #ValleyProud!
There are 3 laundry loads of clothes that were in the cafeteria lost and found. If your child is missing a sweater, sweatshirt, pants, coat, etc., please have them check out the table in the middle school hallway. After this week items will be donated to the clothing closet.
🌈📚 Mismatch Your Reading Day at SES! 📚🌈
Today’s Read Across America Week dress-up theme was Mismatched Neon Colors for our “Mismatch Your Reading” day — encouraging students to mix things up and try a new genre! From bright socks to bold patterns and lots of neon, our students fully embraced the fun and filled the building with color. ✨
Even though it’s a little rainy outside, we think it’s the perfect kind of weather for reading! ☔📖 And our students are definitely taking advantage of it. We’ve already had some readers complete their entire tracker and start a new one, which is amazing to see! These kiddos are clearly determined to reach our building reading goal.
📊 Reminder: Reading trackers will be collected tomorrow, and we’ll start counting up all those minutes. Next week we’ll be able to announce whether our readers reached their goal… and if they’ll get to see some pie-filled faces at our next assembly! 🥧😄
As this week is coming to a close, we would also like to give a big shoutout to Mrs. Hansraj, who helped obtain all the fun goodies that we’re sure many of you have seen come home with students this week!
Our students received:
✏️ Bright colored pencils on Monday
🔖 Totally tubular bookmarks on Tuesday
🕶️ Rad sunglasses for 80s Day
🎉 And tomorrow they’ll receive an extra special goodie to wrap up the week!
Thank you to our families for all the support you’ve shown by encouraging reading at home. Your help makes a huge difference, and we love seeing our students so excited about books!

🎸📚 Totally RAD Reading at SES – 80s Day! 📚🎸
Today we threw it back to the 80s for Read Across America Week, and WOW — our students and staff absolutely rocked this dress-up day! From neon and leg warmers to big hair and bright colors, SES was looking totally tubular! 🌈✨
Today’s spotlight activity is our interactive “Guess Who” board! Students are trying to match popular books with various staff members — and they are LOVING the challenge! It’s been so much fun watching them study the clues, make their guesses, and get excited about the stories behind each book. 📖🔍
We are also SO proud of how hard our students are working toward our 40,000-minute reading goal! The excitement is building, and we truly appreciate all the support our families are giving at home. Every bedtime story, every extra 20 minutes, and every tracker colored in is helping us get closer to our goal. 💛
And let’s just say… students have been very enthusiastic today! Many have been asking Mr. Frederick and Mrs. Smith if they’re excited about getting pied in the face at the assembly. 🥧😄 That must mean they are DEFINITELY motivated and putting in those reading minutes!
Keep it up, SES! Let’s finish this week strong and read our way to victory! 📚🔥
