The Cassadaga Valley Class of 2026 returned from an incredible three-day senior trip to Boston filled with fun, adventure, and lasting memories. Students enjoyed exciting attractions including Hurricane Harbor Water Park, a relaxing day at Hampton Beach, a Boston Duck Tour, and time exploring Quincy Market.
One of the trip highlights was attending the Boston Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park, giving students the opportunity to experience one of baseball's most iconic venues.
Beyond the attractions, the trip provided valuable opportunities for classmates to strengthen friendships, celebrate their accomplishments, and create memories that will last long after graduation.

John Cole & The Valley Minstrels went to SES yesterday afternoon to perform a short concert for the students!! The faculty & students were really excited for this collaboration opportunity!! 🎶🎤🎹




The students in Mrs. Schrader's Algebra 1A classes were surprised to find out they were writing Math Haikus last week. According to the classes it was their first time learning what a haiku was. They were taught that it is a short, three line poem with a 17 syllable verse form, divided into metrical units of 5-7-5. Official haiku poetry began at the end of the 19th century in Japan. The kids worked in groups and came up with haikus about slope, functions, y-intercepts, inequalities and equations.


🎉 Birthday Math Challenge! 🗓️
Our creative 6th-grade mathematicians just wrapped up their order of operations unit with a unique, brain-teasing project! Students designed custom calendars for their own birthday months, but with a major twist: every single date had to be the answer to an order of operations problem they created themselves.
The ultimate challenge? They could only use the digits 2, 3, 4, and 5 for all 28 equations. (We capped it at 28 days to keep it perfectly fair for our February birthdays! 🎂)
By mapping out these complex puzzles, our students proved they have a deep, masterful understanding of how mathematical sequences work to find the right answer. We are so proud of their critical thinking and creativity!
Check out some of their incredible calendar designs below! 👇
