Congratulations to Elanie Foster and Peter Gilbert who are the High School Students of the Month! Elanie is a ray of sunshine who brightens any room with her smile, her kindness, and her laugh. Peter is a perfect gentlemen who has never met a stranger and always shows respect. Congrats to both!
Once upon a time, there was a senior class that ... yada yada, pandemic, social distancing, face masks, blah blah blah ... GOT TO HAVE A SENIOR PROM!
Congratulations to all of the Class of 2021 members who attended the Senior Prom at the Hayloft on Saturday, June 5. It was a real-live fairy tale, not virtual in any way (well except for the Grand March -- which now can be viewed through a link on the South Lewis website), complete with a court.
Shown here are: King/Queen: Blake Wojnar and Olivia Weiss
Prince/Princess: Harley Post and Lauren McGuire
Lord/Lady: Peter Gilbert/Natalie Steria
Duke/Duchess: Trevor Griffith and Miranda Bourgeois
And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
And good luck to our Varsity Softball team as they compete against Adirondack here at home, tonight! This tough crowd pulled out a 10-8 win over Fabius-Pompey last night to advance into the second round of sectionals. Go get 'em ladies!
Best of luck to our Varsity Baseball team today as they travel to compete against the #1 seed, Cooperstown, and to play on the Hall of Fame Doubleday field! Last night's 1-0 win over Westmoreland put their winning streak at a massive 6 games in a row! Keep it rolling guys!

Next in the Senior Spotlight Lineup is Devan G. Maurer. Devan is currently a Criminal Justice student at the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center in Glenfield and has been accepted at Mohawk Valley Community College and at SUNY Canton. Throughout his high school years, Devan maintained law and order on the soccer field. This year he was selected as an All-Star and, in 2018, he was a member of the Section III Championship Team. The verdict is in: Devan is a winner in our book, and we look forward to many great things from in the future!
Now back to our regularly scheduled program: Showing up in the Senior Spotlight this morning is Courtney A. Ebersol. Courtney is an active member of FFA and last week made South Lewis Headlines as one of the participants in Drive-Your-Tractor-to-School Days. In addition to a full schedule of agricultural activities, Courtney found time in her high school years to be a part of the soccer and volleyball teams. In the fall, Courtney plans to head to Cobleskill where she will major in Dairy Science. Future headline: Ebersol, like milk, for a stronger tomorrow! Best of luck, Courtney.
And some final Tractor Days pictures to challenge perceptions:
Courtney Ebersol and Ella Sherman show the world that "princess" and "farmer" aren't mutually exclusive.
Carl Sherman shows the world that "fun" and "school" aren't mutually exclusive.
Thank you all for participating and for "Learning to Do" and "Doing to Learn". Your simple insight is a credit to us all.
Class of 2021 Members Christopher Higby and Jordan Brown both received "Best Overall" awards for their tractors (Chris yesterday and Jordan today). Chris also received an award today for "dirtiest" tractor. Thanks, fellas, no matter the state of tidiness for your rides, we appreciate that you participated in this good, clean fun! (Thanks, Mrs. Delles and the Student Council for keeping alive the Spirit Week traditions.)
Another Drive-Your-Tractor-to-School-Day Award:
Winning the distinction of "Best Antique Tractor" is sophomore Warren Covey. Warren rolled in this morning with 1952 Farmall. We South Lewis Falcons sure do appreciate that color, and some of really like the Vans too (though not sure they are farm safe). Thanks, Warren, for adding to Spirit Week fun!
South Lewis High School Spirit Week is all about showing true Falcon Spirit, and there's nothing like Tractor Day to DRIVE home (or to school) that point! Chris Higby, Courtney Ebersol, Andrew Higby, Ella Sherman, and Jordan Brown all proudly showed up today with farm machinery of all sizes, colors, makes, models, and years. It is a sight to behold, so, if you've got the time, treat yourself and drive on by the Turin campus. You won't be disappointed.
Congratulations to this guy, Hunter Nickerson, who was an award winner in today's Drive-Your-Tractor-to-School-Day Contest. Hunter's award MAY have had something to do with leaking the most fluid. Even Mother Nature felt that Hunter was deserving of the title: at the end of the day, as Hunter drove off el fresco, the heavens opened, and showered down upon our smiling country boy. (Many thanks to Mrs. Howard who coordinated this part of the Spirit Week celebration!)
Let's turn a PAIGE in the Senior Spotlight and present another South Lewis Class of 2021 member: Paige M. Axtell. Paige has spent her high school career exploring possibilities and getting involved. Throughout the years, Paige has participated in various sports, including swimming, basketball, and softball, and, in the spring of 2019, Paige was a member of the Section Winning Track & Field Team. What an honor! Good luck to you, Paige! We can't wait to see how you write the next chapter of your life.
