This past week our buildings have been filled with lots of exciting and fun end of the year activities for our students. This is also the time when students who are in elementary school look forward to moving into middle school, and middle school students look forward to high school. It is certainly a time of change for many of our students.
OCM BOCES CTE Programs Ceremony: This past Tuesday I attended the OCM BOCES Career and Technical Education Certificates and Awards Ceremony where West Genesee had 31 students who were recognized. Congratulations to Jared Raichlin and Jala Williams who were named the Student of the Year in each of their respective programs. Congratulations to them both on this honor. Congratulations to all these students on a job well done! Click here to read the full article about this event.
Last Day of Classes: The last day of classes for seniors was last Thursday. The next day they participated in the Annual Senior Walk at their respective elementary schools. This is always a favorite day for the seniors as they get to visit some of their former teachers and take a walk through the school where their West Genesee days began. It was fun for me to watch the students at Stonehedge welcome the high school seniors throughout their hallways!
The last day of classes for the rest of the students at the high school was last Friday, and this week is the start of exams. Click here to access the exam and bus schedule, along with information about breakfast and lunch.
Elementary and Middle School students will be dismissed early on both Monday, June 24 and Tuesday, June 25; elementary students at 11:30 a.m. and middle school students at 10:10 a.m.; with the last day of school on Tuesday.
Flag Day Celebrations: This past Friday our elementary students celebrated Flag Day with parades and ceremonies. It's always fun to watch our students honor our flag. Hooray for the red, white, and blue! The students at Onondaga Road welcomed me at their assembly, which unfortunately had to move inside. The move of venues didn’t keep anyone at any of the schools from enjoying themselves.
High School Graduation: Graduation will be held this Saturday, June 22, at the SRC Arena at Onondaga Community College starting at 12:00 p.m. This is a most important and exciting highlight of the school year. We look forward to celebrating with our seniors and their families all their accomplishments throughout their years at West Genesee. Congratulations!
A New Superintendent is Announced: I would like to congratulate Mr. David Bills on being selected as West Genesee Central School District’s new Superintendent! Please visit our website to view his credentials and message.
I am looking forward to a busy week of field days, exams, and graduation preparations!
