Cascarones are colorful egg shells filled with confetti and covered on the open end with tissue paper. The tradition is popular in parts of Mexico during Easter, Carnival, weddings and other special fiestas. Students collected, colored, and filled the eggs, which were then distributed on the front lawn of the school. After the hunt for the eggs, they are broken on each other's head, in a symbol of showering each other with love.









All the things you've come to expect from this event and more! Check out what we have planned this year at lockportschools.org/unityfest!

In celebration of Earth Day, students at Aaron Mossell and Emmet Belknap showed what it means to take pride in their school and community. The Go Green Club and the Girls Modified Softball Team at AMJHS and the Student Council at EB joined forces for an Earth Day clean-up. Together they made a positive impact right here at home. Happy Earth Day!







You all keep everything running smoothly, often from behind the scenes, but always at the center of what makes our schools work! Your knowledge of our buildings, our students, and our staff is unmatched, and your kindness sets the tone for every interaction. 💛💙

Staff and Student Appreciation Post!
Last week, George Southard held their monthly Lion Leader Award Ceremony, recognizing our youngest lions who make mighty acts of leadership and kindness! Not only did we celebrate our little ones, Mr. Hiller and Mr. Murray also awarded Ms. Tammy, the lead chef at George Southard with a special recognition. Not only was it her birthday over the long weekend, it was time to tell her (very publicly) how much she is appreciated! From learning our kiddos names and food preferences to always making sure our students are nourished and satisfied, Ms. Tammy and her crew play an important role at George Southard!
