Weekly Update 1/5/26


Before break, our music students performed a concert for our school.  We then played Grinch Ball with Blue Bridges (from the Cheektowaga Police Department) and our 8th graders created some amazing looking (and tasting) cupcakes.  Check out the pictures of all these activities below.


Over break, all of the locks on our new lockers were replaced due to a faulty mechanism in the previously installed locks.   Unfortunately, this means that all the combinations also had to be changed.  Upon entering this morning, students were provided their new combinations and eSchool has been updated with the new combinations as well.  While this was a major inconvenience to both our staff and students, the students handled it well and we are hopeful that we will have less issues with locks malfunctioning.  We appreciate the resilience of our students in how they handled this situation.


There is a half day of Friday, January 9th.  We are planning fun activities centered around social-emotional learning, mental health and physical activity.  Students will then be dismissed at 10:30 am.

MS PTO meeting will be January 14th, at 6 PM in the library.

Our next dance will be on Friday, January 16 from 6-8 pm.  More details will be sent out later this week.
