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!

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!

Thanks to a Colgate Virtual Van visit, SES received over 400 oral care kits to share with our students. These will be heading home as soon as possible—be on the lookout! All grade levels were able to attend today's virtual visit in order to learn proper care of their teeth 🦷🪥
We’re so grateful for this opportunity to support healthy habits for our kids. 🪥💙
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. 💫
The stars have officially arrived! 🌟
Our Cassadaga Valley staff brought the glitz, glam, and plenty of personality to the red carpet for our very first Academy Awards celebration—and WOW did they deliver! 💃🕺

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! 💙💛
