These South Lewis peeps were a part of the audience at "Shrek The Musical" in Rome last night. From the elementary schools: Mrs. Carvel & Mrs. Paulsen with their little ones; super fans from the high school with their chaperone, Mrs. Griffith; and South Lewis directors, Miss Fitzgerald & Mrs. Schneider, with a group of theater buffs. What a great showing of our support for the arts and for our own Katie Vito.
Last night, Katie Vito made a move from the South Lewis stage to the Rome Capitol Theatre Summerstage. Our lovely starlet saw her way clear to the cast of "Shrek The Musical" as one of the 3 Blind Mice. Katie sparkled as she tap, tap, tapped her way from Shrek's Swamp to Farquaad's Castle. The show was mythical, magical, and musical! Check it out!
...more pics of middle school summer enrichment program.
Can you say "entomology"? That's the buzz in the middle school. As part of the ecosystem unit, the middle schoolers caught insects and then wrote stories from the point of view of the captured bugs. Students also discovered a very cool cicada that had just shed its exoskeleton on a tree! Not THAT is a bug's life!
It's for the birds! No, really, it is! These middle school students have feathered their nests and proudly display their beautiful work during the summer enrichment program. Any bird would be happy as a lark to call one home. Chirp.
What's all the tweeting about? Well, it's all about the middle school summer enrichment program and the interactive lessons about birds. These students are gathering goodies from nature to line their nests. Looks like they've put together a lot of happy homes. Look at those smiles. Tweet! Tweet!
And in middle school news.... It's Week 2 of summer school. These lucky ducks get to focus on Local Ecosystems with Lydia Huntress from Beaver Camp. What a great way to start a lesson on birds: a friendly game of Duck Duck Goose! Quack!. Honk!
These Falcons basketball players (yes, that IS Dawson -- a 2018 grad -- with Ian Anderson) encourage the South Lewis community to ASSIST the teams in SCORING 50,000 cans during the months of July & August. Also pictured here are members of the Girls' basketball team with Coach Martin. See attached information for collection details.
Also at South Lewis this summer: Driver Education classes. Mr. Marcus Bush and Mr. Wayne Lyndaker have nerves of steel as they instruct these novice drivers. These gentlemen are pros and must truly enjoy the challenge: they return summer after summer to keep the kids on the road!
Now back to work.... pictures from the middle school summer enrichment program on Wednesday. With a focus on the history of Lewis County, the day's lessons were about the canal system. The students (in their pjs) performed an experiment with 2-liter bottles to represent the lock system, and then listened to historical ghost stories as told by Tanya Roy in the library. Science-y and spooky!
More Turin Fourth of July Parade pics! Many thanks to Mayor Leviker, Town Clerk Dickinson, Library Director Stewart, the Burminghams, Maciejko Farm & Trucking, Dig & Push, Jasmin Jerseys, Snazzy Jammers Duo, Coach Gino, Booster Club members Jen & Gail, and finally Mr. Poore and his family (how 'bout that classic pickup?). Great day!
(Look for Freddie at the Falls Festival Parade tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.)
Happy Day-After Independence Day! We hope that you enjoyed the day celebrating our country. The South Lewis Mascot, Freddie the Falcon, was set free to roam about the streets of Turin in the Second Annual Fourth of July Parade. That crazy bird (who may have been a little warm, as well) was joined by more than twenty past, present, and future Falcon athletes to represent the Falcon Pride Booster Club! Go Falcons! We love this community.
Though it may not look like it in these pics, this group of Falcon volleyball players is working through the third and final day of Gold Medal Squared Camp here at South Lewis. Thank you, Coaches McCall and Gino, for giving these girls an opportunity to improve their blocking, digging, serving, and passing. You are all KILLING IT!
Though it may be summer vacation, these Summer Rec workers are keeping the little people safe at the Middle/High School. The team includes alumni Garret, Josh, Christina, Madison, Keegan, and Morgan; Class of 2020 members Brooklyn, Kayley, BreyLynne, and Brady; and Freshman Olivia. Also pictured is Heath - the little fishy in the towel.
Congratulations to ALL of the Class of 2019 Graduates! See you bright and early at 8:00 a.m. for pre-commencement prepartations. We look forward to seeing you and sharing with you this very special and memorable occasion. Best of luck to you all!
On the courts -- with senior, Madison Krokowski (center) at the volleyball fundraiser and with seniors, Eli Durgan (22) and John Molnar (30) as captains of the varsity basketball team.
One boat. One bus. One blown tire. All tales the senior trippers lived to tell.
Less than ONE DAY and TWENTY-THREE HOURS remaining before the CLASS OF 2019 COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY (but who's counting?)
A few glimpses of some Falcon seniors during the trip to Virginia
And more group shots.....
Group shots of our grads for your viewing pleasure.
