Math Engaged Summer Opportunities
I was in the Ithaca Bakery the other day and saw a poster for some good looking opportunities from an organization called Math Engaged. They are listing Creative Math Camps and Math and Coding Week. Please take a look and share with your students.
Kindness Connects
Here is a great opportunity to get our kids involved in a worthwhile project. Possibly a great character education piece for regular classes and/or enrichment classes?

Tech Opportunity for Students:
Message from Jacob Mack, SS Grad
Message from Jacob Mack, SS Grad
Mr. Houseknecht,
I’m am reaching out in regards to your technology department and potential opportunities for your students at Morrisville State College.
My name is Jacob Mack and I graduated from South Seneca in 2008, spent 6 years in the military and now am attending Morrisville for their wood technology program. I wanted to pass on some information about our programs in hopes of capturing the interests of your students. I know South Seneca has a good technology department and it looks like some classes were added after I graduated. Morrisville is a technology based school and has programs that I believe your students would easily transition into. Some of those programs include wood technology, residential construction, architecture, auto tech, and a variety of CAD courses. I would love to come down and talk to some of the students about our programs or even better, have some of your students come up here for a tour. Please email me back if you are the point of contact I should be talking to, or forward my information onto the proper point of contact.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Here is a link for our school.

If anyone has an idea for a field trip or a visit from Jacob, please let me know.

BOCES deadlines, from Sunny Miller:
Hello Admins! It is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is upon us! I want to make you aware of a few deadlines from BOCES for paperwork and requests.
The following dates are hard deadlines for enrichment coser (415, 416, and 417) requests and payments.
- No new PO's can be generated after May 2, 2016.
- ALL paperwork for payments is due by June first. I have to submit all invoices for payment to Accounts Payable by June 5, 2016.
Please be sure to get your requests and paperwork to our office as soon as possible to ensure timely payment! If I can assist in any way, please feel free to reach out. I am happy to help if I can.
Many thanks to you all for such a great year!
