As part of the 3rd Grade Boys Club at Windom Elementary, students attended and had a fantastic time during the recent How to Tie a Tie session. They not only learned a new skill but also built confidence, all while having fun!

A heartfelt thank you goes to Mr. Dovey and Mr. Waack for their time, effort, and dedication in making this experience both meaningful and memorable. Their support helped create an engaging and valuable moment that our students will carry forward.

In the fall of 2024, Orchard Park High School was named the winner of the Buffalo Bills’ Huddle for Hunger High School Challenge, a regional fundraiser benefiting FeedMore WNY and sponsored by Wegmans. The challenge, which promotes food donations and school spirit, saw OPHS students rally around a creative and ambitious campaign called “Pack Principal Pafk’s Office.”

With just a week and a half to kick off the effort at the beginning of the school year, students collected over 1,000 pounds of food, delivering donations directly into Principal Pafk’s office with the goal of making his workspace completely unusable. The daily drop-offs transformed the office into a wall-to-wall donation zone, showcasing the students' drive to support their community.

The competition was judged based on social media presence, the total amount of food collected, and school spirit during the delivery. Orchard Park stood out with decorated buses, themed attire, party poppers, and entrance music—all highlighting the energy and pride behind the effort.

As a reward for winning, STAP Comm and OPHS were treated to a special visit from the Buffalo Bills. The event featured a Family Feud-style game show between Bills players and students, followed by a walk-through of the building with the players. Billy Buffalo, the team’s in-house DJs, and several Bills players joined the celebration, making it an unforgettable experience for the entire school community.

South Davis Pre-K students recently embarked on an egg-citing science journey as they learned all about oviparous animals, the life cycle of a chicken, and the incubation process.

With curiosity and excitement, the students counted down each day leading up to the big moment—day 21—when the eggs finally hatched! Watching the chicks emerge brought their learning to life and made for an unforgettable hands-on experience.

It was a fun and memorable way to explore science in action! 🐣

On Thursday, April 10th, Eggert Elementary welcomed picture book and chapter book author Mylisa Larsen for an inspiring and fun-filled Author’s Day. A native of Syracuse, Mylisa engaged students with her love of literature and showed them how the writing process can be just as exciting as playing a game.

In the days leading up to the event, students let their creativity shine in a pajama design contest. Fourteen winners were selected to enjoy a special lunch with Mylisa, where they could ask questions and learn more about life as a writer.

The visit left a lasting impression on students and staff alike. A big thank you goes out to the Author’s Day Committee, the PTO, and OPFAE for their generous support in bringing this memorable experience to Eggert!
