A reminder from the South Lewis Librarian, Mrs. Monks:
Summer is a fabulous time to spend time with a great book (or a few of them). Make time to turn the pages of some of your favorites AND you can earn free books from Barnes & Noble. All students who will enter grades 1 - 6 in the fall and who read 8 books before August 31st, can earn a free book. Check out the following link dispatch.barnesandnoble.com to see how it's done. Don't let summer slip away without getting lost in the magical world of books.
The South Lewis Middle School Enrichment Program is getting WILD for the summer. On Wednesday, Haley Sylvan from Zoo New York introduced various Watertown zoo residents -- several live ones and some animal artifacts -- to the middle school students. Among the live guests were a Blue Tongued Skink, a Hedgehog, and Hissing Cockroaches from Madagascar. Ms. Sylvan also brought animal pelts, bones, and feathers for the students to see and touch. The students look forward to another visit later this month. Way to get WILD kids.
It's a royal celebration of the Class of 2022, and here are a few glimpses of all the grandeur that prom had to offer. Pictured below are a few "candids" and The Prom Aristocracy. Dance on, royal friends!
As we wind down the week (and the 2021-2022 school year), let's take time to celebrate some soon-to-be graduates. Here's a look back on the Class of 2022 senior trip in May to Virginia Beach.
Congratulations to Elizabeth Marriott and Kiera Carmen who were named South Lewis High School's May Students of the Month. Both ninth graders, Liz and Kiera are brimming with good character and uphold the values that Falcons treasure the most: caring, diligent, motivated, and responsible. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for them. Until then... have a great summer, Liz and Kiera. We hope that you enjoyed your first year of high school!
On Tuesday, June 7, 2022, the 2021-2022 South Lewis Girls' Varsity Cross Country Team was honored by the Lewis County Boad of Legislators at a meeting that took place at the County Courthouse in Lowville. On November 13, 2021, the team won the New York State Class D Championship title in Chenango Valley. This dedicated group of remarkable athletes is worthy of our admiration. They run in rain and snow, train in stormy weather (and/or a pandemic), challenge their limits daily, compete with strength always, and, get this, have fun while doing it! Long may you run, ladies. We applaud you.
Shown here with Superintendent Douglas Premo, Coach Jack Bernard, and Coach Michele Liendecker are the athletes (from left to right) Mallory Kraeger, Madison Rhubart, Brynn Bernard, Lexi Bernard, Grace Bailey, and Shelby Becraft.

Don't be confused by the Carthage Comet..these are still some of our favorite Falcon friends! What a great day for the Exceptional Games at Carthage CSD! Featured in this picture are some members of Mr. Carvel's, Mr. Adriance's, and Mrs. Herring's classes.
More pics of our students on Spirit Day -- getting instructions about the rules of the game, getting some sun on the sidelines, and getting "Victory" signs from the field. Go Falcons!
Last Thursday, South Lewis High School students celebrated Spirit Day. Some of the day's activities: the first ever Falcon Family Feud, a formal introduction to the therapy dog Lewy, lots of outdoor games and contests, and the final pep rally of the year. Shown here are pictures of the obstacle course and of slip and slide kick ball.
This, friends, is the future of our farming community ....
"Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve"
Based on this spectacular photo, the future looks pretty bright, don't ya think?
Nothing runs like a Deere.... and these students know it! Megan Klossner, JP Cavanaugh, and the Sherman siblings - Ella & Carl - are the envy of all with their fine farm machinery in John Deere green.
Now in the "Red Tractor Division" we have "Antique Red" with Mason Krokowski, "Orange Red" with Matt Marks, "Really Red" with Andrew Higby, and "What We Think Used to Be Some Other Color and is Now Rusty Red" with Steven Kirkbride. Thanks, fellas, for showing us some tractor diversity!
First on the scene this morning were the Maciejko boys -- MacCoy in the White, Aiden with the John Deere, and Justice with the backhoe tractor. What a perfect morning for a family reunion.
It's a bird's-eye view from atop The South Lewis Falcon's Nest (a.k.a. "the school"). For the final day of Spirit Week, high school students were invited to participate in "Drive-Your-Tractor-to-School Day". Today is a celebration in true Falcon fashion and mode, and this parking lot (filled with farm machinery of all makes, colors, sizes, and functions) represents just one of the reasons we love our school and community. Thanks to all for keeping in focus what matters most - our students! Go Falcons.
Don't forget to RSVP for the Varsity Athletic Awards Banquet! Tickets are available in the Athletic Office until Tuesday May 31st.
Those smiles prove that you CAN have fun during your workout...and you will, with coaches like Mr. Baird and Mrs. Liendecker. Thanks to Coach Liendecker for submitting this photo of some of our modified track stars. Good luck in the final few days of your season!
The Middle School Book Fair will be open an extra day on Monday, May 16th from 8:00-2:50 for anyone who wasn’t able to purchase books last week!
