On Friday, May 24, the very first West Genesee Inaugural Elementary Olympics for special education students took place at the high school. Students took part in several track events, including the 50m, 100m, and 200m, and field events, including the shot put, standing long jump, softball throw, and hurdles. Fifty-nine West Genesee Elementary students (from East Hill, Onondaga Road, Split Rock, and Stonehedge Elementary Schools) participated this year. The enthusiasm of the high school students was evident as they cheered on athletes, revved up the spectators, and danced along to the music. It was a very special event for all!
Continuing the yearly tradition, the staff and students of Stonehedge lined our sidewalk and hallways with handmade signs, high fives, and a lot of cheers, to welcome our athletes as they returned from their day of competing.
Second-grade field trip to Corduroy
The Stonehedge PTA sponsored a trip to LeMoyne College for students to attend a live performance of Corduroy. The story was written by Don Freeman many, many years ago but remains a favorite with teachers and children alike. Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store at night? The endearing story of Corduroy, that wonderful little bear, paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. Be sure to ask your second-grade student what happens in the story.
Kindergarten Readiness Session #2
We had a wonderful turn out for our first Welcome to Kindergarten get together. Our next session is scheduled for Tuesday, June 4, 6:00-6:45. For this opportunity, children will stay with classroom teachers while parents meet with Mrs. Sheehan (school counselor), and Mrs. Dunham (Speech and Language Specialist), and me. We will provide an overview of the transition to kindergarten. Doors will open at 6:00 and the parent presentation will begin at 6:10 in the Blue Cafeteria.
