Mr. Flaherty’s class at George Southard welcomed volunteers from the LHS TALAT (Take a Look at Teaching) club, while Mrs. O’Brien’s (George Southard) and Mr. Gueli’s (Emmet Belknap) classes were joined by DECA students serving as “teachers” and Junior Achievement volunteers.
The LHS students delivered engaging, grade-appropriate Junior Achievement lessons that introduced important business vocabulary and showed how communities and neighborhoods collaborate to build financially literate employees and thriving businesses.
It was an inspiring experience for all groups of students, sparking excitement about future careers and the power of teamwork!

Small actions can make a big difference.
Whether it’s offering a quiet space, rethinking how we give instructions, or simply showing patience—these everyday choices help create a school where every student, including those who are neurodivergent, can thrive. 💙💛

On Friday, March 21st, students from George Southard, Emmet Belknap, and Aaron Mossell Junior High had the incredible opportunity to participate in a workshop led by Antoine Johnson, a dynamic speaker and Program Success Director at the National Fatherhood Initiative.
Antoine’s message focused on three powerful words: persistence, initiative, and opportunities—and how these values shape who we are and who we can become. He shared his personal journey of growing up without a father figure, opening up important conversations with students about resilience, role models, and striving for excellence.
Students in grades 3–6 had an exciting opportunity to attend the Willie "Hutch" Jones S.T.E.A.M. Fair! They explored innovative science projects created by students from across Western New York and were truly inspired by what they saw. Several of our students left feeling motivated and even expressed interest in creating their own projects to enter the competition next year. We love seeing our young learners excited about science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math!
