Glenfield Character of the Week
The Port Leyden 3rd Grade students made Christmas Cards for the residents of the Lewis County General Hospital Nursing Home
Also, on Saturday these Falcon Pride athletes volunteered to sell concessions during the final MS performance of Frozen Jr. It was a near sell-out, as is evidenced by these before & after shots. Thanks to Justice, Aaliyah, Garrett, MacCoy (pictured here) & Trevor (not shown).
On Saturday, the middle/high school campus was jumpin' with excitement as the volleyball team hosted the annual Falcons Kickoff Classic. Twelve interscholastic teams volleyed it out for HOURS, and our own varsity team placed FOURTH overall. Whoop whoop, Ladies! Way to dig in!
Last week Carson Dosztan and Camryn Ely were named the November High School Students of the Month. Congratulations to both for being model Falcon citizens and for sharing smiles and sunny dispositions with the whole South Lewis community.
Congratulations to the RoboFalcons who competed in their first robotics tournament on Sunday and were a part of the FIRST PLACE alliance there. Great work, Jayden, Philip, Austin, Mickaela, Mason, Connor, and Roger (also the team's MVP). Many thanks to RoboCoach Vaerewyck!
The Middle School will present Frozen Jr. this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Here is the cast and crew with a signed poster from one of the main illustrators from Frozen and Frozen 2!!

One final thought for the day: as the afternoon draws to a close and the holiday break begins, we are grateful for the physical beauty that surrounds our campus from sunrise to sunset, from fall through spring. Thanks to all who shared photos today and who share joy every day.
As always, we are grateful that you popped in today.
Mrs. Panella follows her heART to find joy in a jar of dilly beans.

On Friday night, the South Lewis FFA hosted a Thanksgiving Feast for family and friends. It was a smorgasbord beyond compare complete with turkey, sides, sides, and more sides, and a selection of desserts so sweet that even Betty Crocker would blush.
This past Saturday, 8th grader Brynn Bernard finished 5th in the New York State Federation XC Championship race and made South Lewis history as she became the highest placing Falcon female at the Federation level. Way to run like the wind, Brynn!
