They were able to see a college campus and even immerse themselves in the community during lunch at the dining hall. They learned about the programs and opportunities Bonaventure has to offer. We are looking forward to exploring new places, experiences, and colleges in the future!

Mrs. Ballantyne’s Kindergarten class had a fabulous time celebrating Thanksgiving with their very own “Balloons Over Broadway” Parade! They created turkey headbands and Native American-inspired noodle necklaces. They wrapped up the celebration with a Charlie Brown–style Thanksgiving feast, complete with all the classic trimmings — popcorn, pretzels, candy, and toast. It was a joyful day filled with creativity, laughter, and fun memories!
Attention 8th Grade Parents and Caregivers who helped their child sell Cookie Dough for the Washington, D.C. Trip: The cookie dough will be delivered to the Middle School on Tuesday, December 9th. Please note that each student will get a box that has their name, the items they bought, and a list of who bought what — all in a very user-friendly way. Their prizes will be delivered then as well. If a student sold over $100 worth, we recommend getting a ride home that day. We kindly ask that you do not arrive before 1:30 PM to help with your child's order. Questions should be directed to 8th Grade Teacher Mr. Beiter at abeiter@springvillegi.org.
Our middle and high school students embraced the challenge of creating art to encourage safe choices this holiday season. The initiative, led by SADD and Above the Influence, will culminate in the anti-DWI messages being printed on paper bags and used at Cheap Chollies Wine and Liquor starting December 1st in conjunction with National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The compelling designs were assessed by a judging panel of community leaders, including representatives from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office and local businesses. The winning entries earned the student artists a variety of local prizes.

STEAM Lessons have returned to Colden Elementary. Recently, Mrs. Anderson's first grade class learned about how spiders can fly using a parachute, so they set out to make their own parachutes for their own plastic spider. They used a fan to try to blow their creations the farthest.

Second-grade students at Colden Elementary recently welcomed two Mystery Readers - Samantha Wasiela and Nicole Hallick, both parents of second-graders. The students loved the stories they shared!
High School student representatives recently spoke at class meetings about Agency in our schools. They shared questions about student voice in the classroom and what kind of environment they experience on a day-to-day basis, and the classes were able to answer using Kahoot. Agency is one of the five pillars in the district's strategic plan, and this is one way we are continuing to work toward Agency through student voice. Photos are provided by Mrs. Rosenswie and student photographers Nate Ridder, Riley Quinn, and Daniella Oakley.
Middle school students showed their support for the Student Council’s annual food drive to benefit the Springville Food Pantry! Eighth grade won the friendly competition, and 8th-grade Student Council members were able to deliver over 560 items to the pantry to stock the shelves for the holiday season. Thank you to everyone who donated to support our community!
