The last day of school brings out the waterworks at SES, but we don't mean tears! Teachers and staff use water squirters to douse the students as they leave the school in a fun school tradition! The weather was beautiful, and the students enjoyed getting wet and even spraying back at the adults!

The Middle School Fine Arts Club was asked to paint murals on the ceiling of Mrs. Jasinski's Spanish room. Seventeen dedicated club members worked very hard to design and paint the nine ceiling tiles representing Spanish-speaking countries. Compromise, collaboration, and teamwork were necessary components in order for the partners to complete the task. Mrs. Jasinski is so pleased with their work, she has asked for nine more murals and Mrs. Jaeger, their advisor, is incredibly proud of each member who participated!

Mrs. Duerr’s and Mrs. Hamm’s first-grade classrooms were selected by the Erie County Agricultural Society to participate in a special community project for this year's Erie County Fair!
With a lot of creativity and teamwork, our amazing first graders have officially completed the project. Embracing this year’s fair theme, "Stars, Stripes and Summer Nights," the students worked hard to design, decorate, and plant a beautiful bucket filled with vibrant red, white, and blue flowers. They also created a custom, patriotic sign to accompany their display.
Where to see it: Our students' beautiful creation will be proudly showcased, representing our school, during the Erie County Fair this August. Be sure to look out for it if you visit the fair!

The hand-painted piece incorporates organic images of the state bird, state flower and the United States flag in front of the horizontal, grid-like architecture of the mid-20th century structure. If you would like to see the painting in person, it is hung outside the District Office.

Students in Mrs. Duerr’s and Mrs. Spielberger‘s classrooms at Springville Elementary recently participated in Cow for Now, an exciting dairy education program sponsored by the Erie County Fair! Presented by Farm 2 Table and Milk for Health, this program brought the world of dairy farming right into the classroom. Throughout the experience, students loved learning all about their special "Hattie”—discovering where she lives and how dairy farmers take wonderful care of her. One of the highlights was a fun bracelet-making activity, where each bead taught the students important facts about what cows need to eat to stay healthy and how the milking process works.

Recently, first-grade classrooms at Springville Elementary School transformed into chilly scientific laboratories. Students were treated to "Science Below Zero," an exciting in-house outreach program presented by the Buffalo Museum of Science. During the interactive 45-minute demonstrations, students explored the fascinating world of energy and phases of matter. They kicked off the presentation by learning about dry ice—the solid, ultra-cold (-109*F) form of carbon dioxide. The young scientists were amazed to learn about sublimation, the unique process in which dry ice bypasses the liquid phase entirely, turning directly from a solid to a gas when heated. The classrooms came alive with hands-on experiments, including beaker volcanoes, bubbling soapy smoke brews, and miniature rockets. The icy fun didn't stop there. Students also discovered the properties of liquid nitrogen, watching it boil instantly at room temperature, shrink balloons, and even make a tea kettle "sing." The first-grade classes and teachers extend a massive thank you to the Springville PTO for generously sponsoring this incredible, hands-on educational experience!
