These photos capture the pasta tower adventure that Mrs. Dague’s sixth‑graders dove into during the 2025–2026 school year. The goal of the pasta tower project was to construct a structure capable of withstanding an “earthquake” simulated by a homemade shaking platform. Students used spaghetti, hot glue, rubber bands, marshmallows, and paperclips to build their towers. Throughout the activity, they explored the engineering principles behind earthquake‑resistant buildings. Before construction began, students created detailed blueprints that included both a top view and a side view of their designs. These plans helped them build their towers to scale while applying mathematical and scientific concepts throughout the project.

🔬✨ Science in Action! ✨🔬

The High School Science Club had an exciting and hands-on March meeting this past Thursday! They were thrilled to welcome our very own biology teacher, Mrs. Schrantz, as a guest speaker.

Students dove into the fascinating world of micropipettes—precision tools used to measure and transfer tiny amounts of liquid with incredible accuracy. Mrs. Schrantz shared how this skill is essential in fields like forensics, molecular biology, genetics, and even crime scene investigations and paternity testing!

To put their new knowledge to the test, each student designed their own creative experiment and practiced their micropipetting skills. It was a fun and engaging way to explore real-world science in action!

🍁🥞 A Sweet Reward for Hard Work! 🥞🍁

Our Meat and Food Science class got to enjoy the fruits of their labor on Friday—and it was delicious! 😄

After braving the winter weather to tap trees, collect sap, and carefully boil it down, students finally tasted the maple syrup they made from scratch. To celebrate, they enjoyed a well-earned breakfast featuring their very own homemade syrup!

From tree to table, this hands-on experience was the perfect blend of science, patience, and a little bit of sweetness. 🍯✨ Nothing beats seeing (and tasting!) hard work pay off!

❤️🏡 Won’t You Be Our Neighbor? 🏡❤️

Today at SES we celebrated Mister Rogers’ Birthday—a special day dedicated to kindness, compassion, and the power of caring for one another.

Many of us grew up watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, where Fred Rogers reminded generations of children that they are valued, understood, and loved. His gentle, thoughtful approach helped kids navigate big feelings and tough topics—lessons that still matter just as much today.

Here at Cassadaga Valley, we honored his legacy in some meaningful ways:
✨ Students filled out Kindness Cards, sharing ways they show kindness and helping us create a wonderful display of positivity
📺 Episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood played during lunch
🧥 Many joined in by wearing cardigans, Mister Rogers shirts, and other kindness-themed outfits

In a world that can often feel fast-paced and disconnected, his message of kindness and respect continues to shine through. 💙

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special—one small act of kindness at a time. 💫

Mrs. Dague’s Middle School Science Club created custom T-shirts as part of a hands-on learning project 👕✨. Students designed their shirts using stencils, foam brushes, and bleach gel to produce unique patterns and images 🎨. Through this activity, students explored the chemical reaction that occurs when bleach interacts with the dye in 100% cotton fabric, causing a color change 🧪. In addition to expressing their creativity, students gained a better understanding of how chemical reactions can be applied in the real world, combining art and science in a memorable way 🔬💡

We are so proud of Nora Brown, Keyamari Keys, and Makenzie Lahnen for representing our FFA chapter at Substates for FFA on Saturday, March 14th, at Alfred State College! 🌟

These students had to first place and qualify at Districts to earn the opportunity to compete at Substates.... an accomplishment in itself!

Although they did not advance to the final rounds of their LDE competitions, they still placed incredibly well against a tough competition:

🏅 Nora Brown – 5th place, Junior Creed Speaking
🏅 Makenzie Lahnen – 9th place, Senior People in Agriculture
🏅 Keyamari Keys – 6th place, Senior People in Agriculture & 4th place, Senior Extemporaneous Speaking

These girls did an outstanding job, and we couldn’t be more proud of their hard work and dedication. We can’t wait to continue watching their success in FFA! 💙💛
