SS Tech Website:

Rob's Tech website is now linked from the "Staff Tools" button on the district site.  Thanks to Rob for putting this together.  If you have any cool tools to share, please send a link and description to him.






Tee shirt project:
I'll schedule our big tee shirt wearing day for next week just before break.  If you haven't painted your shirt, we still have some paint!! 


Leos Club - Part of the Lions Club

Last month, I attended the local Lions Club meeting.  I suggested to the club that we look into starting a Lions "Leos" chapter here.  The Leos are a youth community organization that many Lions clubs nationwide sponsor.  I was a member of the Olean Lions Club.  We sponsored a Leos club through Allegany-Limestone.  Please check this link for information on what a Leo Club is.

I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in speaking with me about running such a community service club.  It would provide some great opportunities for service and interaction with community adults.  Please get in touch with me if you are.  Thanks.

BOCES weekly bulletin
A great summer retreat opportunity is available on Raquette Lake in the Adks. Look in the March 15 edition.


Programs Available through the Forest Service:
Please take a look at the video linked below.  This is about the FS's “Middle Leader Program at the Munford Schools, which are likely the best example in the country of what a long term partnership with the FS can do, and in bringing the outdoors (and hands on education) into every aspect of the classroom.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZiAPSfjOg0

Jodi Vanselow would be more than happy to help us get some programs off the ground. How about something for Falcon Camp?   Please take a look at the video and let me know.
