Positivity Project
We rounded out our
year-long endeavor with the Positivity Project learning more about the two character strengths of leadership and connection/purpose.
 |
| Leadership |
 |
| Connection/Purpose |
Throughout the year,
students not only came to realize more about their own strengths and personal
characteristics, but about others' strengths as well. We have recognized
growing relationships and friendships here at school, and we hope that you
continue to foster these as we head into the summer months. We will
continue to learn about our strengths through the Positivity Project next year, too!
Girls on the Run
For the first year ever,
girls in grades 4 and 5 were invited to participate in the non-profit Girls
on the Run program. All participants engaged in twice-a-week
interactive lessons and running programs for ten weeks. The culminating
activity was a 5K race, and our girls challenged themselves to meet their
goals, all while learning about their strengths, teamwork, and
leadership. A big thank you is extended to all of our teachers who became
certified coaches in order to lead the team, and also to all of you, parents,
for encouraging our (your) girls to be confident and reach their fullest
potential. Congratulations, Girls on the Run!
CODE
Through our annual
Community Oriented Drug Education program, students in all grades learned about
healthy lifestyles and healthy choices. Our fourth and fifth graders
culminate their programs by submitting posters advertising Internet safety and
essays describing the potential promises of being drug-free. Pictured
here are our poster and essay winners. Congratulations!
Senior Walk
Students from the
graduating class of 2018 from West Genesee High School who once attended
Onondaga Road came back for a walk down memory lane! Our kids lined the
hallways chanting "Let's go Wildcats, let's go" as they waved and
extended their congratulations to the seniors. Some day, in the not so
distant future, our little ones will be taking that same walk...
Thank you, PTA!
On behalf of our
students and staff, I would like to truly thank our PTA and our many
parent volunteers for your generosity and dedication to our school.
Students from every grade level have appreciated field trips and many fun events
throughout the year. A good time was had by all at the end-of-year family
picnic Friday night! Thank you again, PTA!
