Last Thursday, the Middle School students held their final House Challenge of the School year. Students took on an outdoor obstacle course on the football field, competing in stations that tested teamwork, athleticism, and school spirit. All four houses — Lions, Jaguars, Bobcats, and Tigers — brought incredible energy as they cheered each other on and gave everything they had in the final competition of the year. The Lions took home the win on the obstacle course, and after tallying all points accumulated throughout the year, the Jaguars were crowned the Panther Cup champion!

The Panther Cup is awarded to the house that earns the most points over the course of the school year. Houses earn points by receiving Panther PRIDE postcards, through academic grades, and by competing in House Challenges — making it a true reflection of effort, character, and school spirit all year long. Thank you for sharing, Mrs. Fleming, and great job to all the students and teachers who participated in these house challenges all year!

At the June Board of Education meeting, Transportation Supervisor, Mrs. Martin, honored and awarded Wendy Bakaitis with the AAA School Bus Driver Safety Award for her exceptional safety record. "Wendy Bakaitis is one of our special education school bus drivers. Every morning, she sets the tone for a successful day by greeting each of her students with immense warmth, patience, and understanding. Safety on this bus goes way beyond heavy traffic, mastering blind spots and bad weather. It means ensuring that every piece of specialized equipment is checked with absolute precision. It means knowing how to read a student's non-verbal cues, de-escalate anxiety with a gentle voice, and create a sensory-safe environment where every child feels secure. Our driver excels at this balancing act every single mile, turning the school bus into a place of comfort, dignity, and trust." Thank you for sharing, Mrs. Martin, and congratulations, Wendy!

🎨 Our young artists have been hard at work! Over the past few weeks, students in Ms. Billera's Pre-K class explored the world of famous artists! They learned about their lives, the unique techniques they used to create their masterpieces, and the lasting impact they had on the art world. After studying each artist, the children had the opportunity to create their own inspired masterpieces using similar styles and techniques. Some of the artists they studied include: Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Wassily Kandinsky, and Piet Mondrian. The children enjoyed experimenting with colors, shapes, patterns, and different artistic techniques while expressing their creativity. We are so proud of the beautiful artwork they created and the enthusiasm they showed throughout this artist study! 🎨✨🖌️Thanks for sharing, Ms. Billera!

Recently, 4th-grade students had a visit from two HFCS graduates and local electricians, Mr. Shea and Mr. Nash. Elementary School Counselor Mrs. Shea and 4th-Grade Teacher Mrs. Nash helped arrange for this visit as part of their grade-level career focus program. Students learned all about their day-to-day job duties, their educational and professional experience, and had time to ask questions. Thank you to Mr. Shea and Mr. Nash for taking time out of their busy schedule to meet with our students!

The Vietnam & Thailand trip will be open to students in grades 9–12 at the time of travel—be sure to secure your spot for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Questions?

In an effort to wrap up May's Mental Health Awareness month and tabling events during lunch periods, Middle School Counselors, Ms. Thompson and Mrs. Sacks, arranged for Stewart's Shops to donate ice cream to Middle and High School students on May 19! As part of the Positivity Project, the students in their guide sections (5th, 6th, and 7th graders) collectively agreed that Stewart's is a pillar in their community. Many students shared that they have parents and/or relatives who work there. During a section of the 5th-grade guide and following a Positivity Project's lesson on "exhibits”, students created posters of what makes Hoosick Falls special. The students included historical things too but, this was the extra fun one!

In the days following the event, the students in Ms. Thompson’s and Mrs. Sacks’ sections who scooped ice cream for their school community were asked to complete a brief survey about what they learned. Here are some of their answers below:

Q: What was the BEST part of scooping ice cream?
A: Scooping for others, giving it out (this was a common answer throughout)

Q: Was there something that surprised you about working?
A: How hard it was to scoop, some people are impatient, "the rush" (crowds), so many people came for ice cream!

Q: What did you learn from working your shift? (It looks like they learned A LOT! :))
A: Not everything is easy, work is a responsibility, that watching the enjoyment of others made me happy, scooping is fun!, work requires patience, the better the teamwork the faster the work gets done, helping people is nice, to be grateful for what we have, how to scoop ice cream, I can handle crowds, the high schoolers were polite to us, working with others can be hard sometimes, working together is better than working alone, working with friends is fun!, the smallest things can bring happiness, that I do not want to work as an ice cream scooper when I'm older, and patience.

Q:Was there something that you didn't like about the event or would do differently next time?
A: Most wrote "Nothing, It was fun!" Some added: Scoop all of the ice cream ahead of time (e.g. planning skills, executive functioning!), toppings, and more scooping tables. More workers!

Q: Why is it important for different members of the community to work together? Think about how the farmers milk the cows, the truck drivers bring the milk to the Stewart’s plant to make ice cream, the workers at the plant make the ice cream, another truck driver delivers the ice cream boxes to the Stewart’s Shops, the Stewart’s employees sell the ice cream, customers in the community buy the ice cream and eat it!
A: For us to stay connected, if different people work together then everybody can put their input on what they are doing so there are more different ideas, If people are yelling and doing whatever they want, the ice cream won't be good, if the farmer didn't give the milk to the plant - we wouldn't have ice cream, so others can be happy, everything will fall apart if they don't work together, because you can end up with something great, without others helping others - nothing will get done, to build friendship, so that everyone has access to resources, we can make things better together, build a better bond, know more people, gets their kids to college, so people like us can have it and people that make it have money, team work.

Q: Is there anything else that you would like to add or comment about?
A: It was fun!!! A really good idea, thankful, longer shifts, Thank you, Stewarts!, 10/10, would do it again!, ice cream was melting by 7/8 lunches - maybe have a cooler nearby

In their own words, students learned about/focused on teamwork, community, planning skills, communication, work ethic, rewards for working hard, and how helping other people also benefits the person giving. Thank you to Stewart’s Shops for supporting our school and students, and thank you to our Middle School Counselors for organizing this fantastic event!

Elementary teacher Ms. Whitford recently took her students on a field trip to Benson’s Dairy Bar!

Elementary teacher Mrs. Cross has another “community integration field trip” to share! These trips allow students to explore some of the community helper roles they have been learning about in the classroom. Students visited the laundry mat in the Village! The kiddos made change, put coins into the washer, poured detergent, and watched the laundry spin! They walked to the store and purchased a drink, and then returned when the wash was done and put the blankets into the dryer! They did a great job, and they had an awesome time out in the community! Thanks for sharing, Mrs. Cross! (To see more pictures, head on over to our Facebook page.)
