A great big SOUTH LEWIS STRONG CONGRATULATIONS to Senior Songbird, Katie Vito, for achieving the honor of performing this weekend in the NYSSMA All-State concert. It's been 20+ years since a SL student was a part of this annual performance. Katie's other accolades: soloist in Bi-County & Area All-State concerts and NY representative in the US National Chorus. Way to sing from your Falcon heart!

One final thought for the day: as the afternoon draws to a close and the holiday break begins, we are grateful for the physical beauty that surrounds our campus from sunrise to sunset, from fall through spring. Thanks to all who shared photos today and who share joy every day.
As always, we are grateful that you popped in today.
Mrs. Panella follows her heART to find joy in a jar of dilly beans.

Gratitude comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms. At South Lewis, we are happy to share some of the memories and moments that bring joy and make us thankful to be a part of this Falcon community.
Mrs. Gronowski's joy manifests in the music of her students.
On Friday night, the South Lewis FFA hosted a Thanksgiving Feast for family and friends. It was a smorgasbord beyond compare complete with turkey, sides, sides, and more sides, and a selection of desserts so sweet that even Betty Crocker would blush.
This past Saturday, 8th grader Brynn Bernard finished 5th in the New York State Federation XC Championship race and made South Lewis history as she became the highest placing Falcon female at the Federation level. Way to run like the wind, Brynn!
Today in Theater Arts, Taha Umer, the Pakistani Princess, educates classmates about her culture. Taha is just one of the international students that is calling South Lewis "home" this year. What a lovely jewel she is!
Give thanks and be grateful for BOOKS! Come to the Middle School PTG Book Fair November 21st, 22nd, and 25th from 7:30am-3pm in the Middle School lobby. The fair will also be open during conferences on Monday the 25th from 5-8pm.
And finally, in the upper regions of the state, four SL XC runners battled it on a cold and clear Saturday morning at the NYSPHSAA State Championship. Collin Stafford placed 44th in his race. Brynn Bernard, Lexi Bernard, & Hannah Ielfield placed 2nd, 4th, & 6th in their race. It was a great day to run!
In those same SL gymnasiums on Saturday, the Falcons hosted a modified wrestling tournament in which 10 schools competed for king of the mat. Coach Gibson is happy to report that after hours of grappling, his athletes enjoyed throwing down their skills against opponents from across the league.
This past weekend there was a lot to celebrate in our Falcon athletic community. The weekend began Friday night as more than 17 volleyball teams held court in the SL gymnasiums and set out to crown the greatest team in all of the SL volleyball kingdom. Here's a hint: "COACHES".
Speaking of imaginative costumes.... "Elsa" and "Olaf" stopped by today to help sell Frozen Hot Chocolates and raise funds for a "Frozen" Field Trip later this week. Olaf said it best, "Some people are worth melting for." Thank you, Mr. Carvel, for being one of those "people"!
