One of Mrs. Adolf's favorite days is coming up this Friday....International Dot Day! The concept for the day is based on Peter H. Reynold's book "The Dot," which celebrates creativity, courage and collaboration. Just like the book's main character, Vashti, Mrs. Adolf is challenging her elementary art students to experiment with abstract art. Just a small dot on a page can be the start of our students "making their mark." #PrideInTheHive
This year, Mrs. Lowery is giving 8th graders a glimpse into the business world.

Using a variety of activities, students will gain a better understanding of money management, budgeting, career exploration, entrepreneurship, and much more. #PrideInTheHive
Varsity Boys' Soccer Result - 9/11
Perry 2
Mount Morris 1
OT/2
The boys were down 1-0 for a majority of the game and kept pushing for an equalizer. That goal finally came with 1 minute remaining in the game when Holden Kelly sent a cross into Dom Hurlburt who put it past the keeper to make it 1-1. Then, 2 minutes into the second overtime period, Holden Kelly dribbled down the left side past two Mount Morris defenders and decided to take a shot from the corner of the 18. The shot floated into the right side of the net over the keeper to win the game 2-1. It was an all-around great team effort and an important first win in the division.

Varsity Boys' Soccer Results - 9/8
Perry 10
Hammondsport 2
The game was tightly contested for much of the first half and the boys went into half time with just a narrow 3-1 lead. Early in the second half Junior captain Holden Kelly scored an incredible 25 yard curling shot with the outside of his foot into the top left corner to make it 4-1, and he wasn’t done there. Kelly ended the game with 8 goals and one assist, tying the New York State record set in 1968 by Dennis Mills of Friendship for goals in a single game. The boys are now 3-1 on the season and have their first divisional game on Monday versus Mt. Morris.
