Our Middle and High School students wrapped up "Start With Hello Week "by helping to create a "Connection Chain"! 🔗💚

Students chose a prompt to reflect on and added their response to the chain:

💚 What is something kind someone did for you?
💚 Who makes school better?
💚 When did someone make you feel seen or included?
💚 What does it mean to be Bulldog Strong?

Each link is a reminder that a kind word or a simple hello can help someone feel like they belong.

Thank you to our students for their incredible participation and helping our school community grow stronger together.

Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog. 🐾

Pre-K students in Ms.Sobczyk's class finished off celebrating "Say Hello" week and 9/25 by being kind and celebrating one of the kindest people we know, Dolly Parton! They made kindness suns, learned about Tennessee, traced numbers 9/2/5, jammed out to Dolly songs and listened to "A Coat of Many Colors" read by Dolly herself!

💚 Start With Hello Week at Brocton!💚

As part of "Start With Hello Week", our Middle and High School students participated in a fun, interactive “This or That” activity during their lunch periods.

Students placed stickers next to their favorite choices, helping create small conversations, learning things they have in common, and allowing time to connect with one another.

Sometimes something as simple as choosing between a "Bills game or a concert" can be the start of a new conversation or connection with peer.

Start With Hello Week is the perfect reminder that one small hello can help make a difference in helping everyone feel seen, valued, and connected.

💚One small hello can lead to a big connection. 💚

🍇 Learning Locally, Thinking BIG! 🍇 Yesterday, our fifth graders had an amazing opportunity to visit Cornell Co-op out of Westfield and learn firsthand about one of the industries that makes our area so special—the grape industry! 🍇 Students learned how grapes are grown and harvested, got an up-close look at some of the large equipment used during harvest season, and discovered just how many grapes are produced right here in our local area. They also learned about the different products made from our grapes—and, of course, enjoyed sampling some fresh grapes and grape juice! Even though the weather was rainy, it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits! Our students had a wonderful time experiencing this brand-new field trip and making connections between what happens in the vineyards they see every day and the much bigger impact our local agriculture has beyond our community. One of the best parts of this experience was helping our students recognize that even though we come from a small community like Brocton, what happens right here can have an impact across the country. 💚 A huge THANK YOU to Cornell Co-op for sharing your time, knowledge, and expertise with our students and giving them such a meaningful hands-on learning experience. We are incredibly fortunate to have opportunities like this right in our own backyard! 🍇🚜 #BroctonBulldogs #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #LocalAgriculture #GrapeCountry #CommunityConnections

Today, as we observe Patriot Day, we come together in a spirit of remembrance and gratitude. We honor not only our fallen heroes but also the families who have borne the weight of loss and the scars left behind. As we observe moments of silence and participate in various tributes today, let us pledge to carry their memory in our hearts. We will never forget the sacrifices made for our country, the heroes who fought and continue to fight for our freedoms, and the importance of unity and compassion in our community.

💜 Today, we recognize World Suicide Prevention Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness, spreading hope, and reminding everyone that they are never alone.

A simple check-in, kind word, or listening ear can make a meaningful difference. Let’s continue creating a school community where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a trusted adult, school staff member, or call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

You matter. Your story matters. You belong here. There is hope. 💜
