I hope everyone has managed to keep warm this week as we wrap up the second quarter at the secondary level with the completion of Regents and midterms. As a friendly reminder there will be no school on Wednesday, January 29 in observation of Asian Lunar New Year as this is a new government holiday on which classes may not be in session in New York.
Varsity Reads
Members of our varsity winter sports visited the Kindergarten Center and Primary School to read to the students and answer any questions! Thank you to these students for taking time out of their busy schedules during testing week to give back to the Tiger community and serve as role models for our young Tigers. You can view images of Varsity Reads across our social media platforms.
Vex Competitions
Six teams across the middle school and high school were busy this past weekend showing off their driving and engineering skills at local Vex tournaments. Vex is much like any competitive sport where students work in teams to develop creative STEM solutions to the yearly challenge. Tasks often involve manipulating objects in an arena with their custom designed robots. Points are earned when their robots interact with the game elements in various ways. Congratulations to the Gingers and Wookies team for qualifying for the Northern NYS State Championship in March.

Boost The Backpack
Last call to purchase a reusable Fight Hunger Bag at the Kingsbury Hannaford during January, our Intermediate School will receive $1. All the money raised will go toward purchasing food and supplies for our Food Backpack program. It’s a great bag and a great way to help!
