We'd like to introduce our new monthly newspaper, The Cougar Post, developed by Sinclairville Elementary 4th and 5th grade students. https://5il.co/28f5j
Students meet after school to develop ideas and research information for articles that will then go through the editing process. Students who submit their completed articles by the deadline have their articles and pictures formatted into the Cougar Post.
The Cougar Post will be available for viewing on the Sinclairville Elementary website page and Facebook. All 4th and 5th grade students receive a printed copy as well so they can read what their peers have reported. The reporters are looking forward to others reading their articles!

The Sportsmanship award is chosen for a school by the officials who are in the Southern Tier West division. The recipient of the award shows sportsmanship through the coach, athletes, and fans. There are 3 top schools and a winner is chosen based on a points system. Congrats to our CVCS volleyball team on earning this award!


Tomorrow begins career week at SES!!

The Key Club recently made activity bags in conjunction with Falconer Kiwanis Club. They are being delivered to the Child Advocacy Program, Transitional Housing (YWCA), the Anew Center (safe house for women with children), the Falconer Emergency Ambulance, and the UPMC Emergency room. Their purpose is to occupy small children while they are stuck in waiting rooms often under stressful situations.


A huge thank you to Ms. Broadhead for doing the face painting for The Day of the Dead, or Dia De Los Muertos. Students were able to learn about the cultural significance of the day with Mrs. Orbaker and Mrs. Avila, in their Spanish class, while getting a feel for the work it takes to celebrate in costume in their Art classes today!

Happy Halloween from The Valley! 👻🎃🧙♀️🧟♀️💀






High School Key Clubbers did Halloween crafts and passed out treats to Ms. Nelson's middle school classes this week. The students enjoyed making Halloween stained glass and wooden crafts!
