The elementary STEM Club met for the first time Friday morning. The club, which is composed of students in grades 3-5, focused on teamwork by working together in two STEM challenges. They had to save Sam the Worm by rescuing him from a capsized "boat" and getting his "life saver" on him, the catch was they could only use one paperclips to do so. Then they played Suspend with a partner and attempted to build the tallest tower. These STEM thinking and team building skills are preparing them to compete in the 2024 STEM Wars.

Today is National Custodian Recognition Day! They work while we sleep. Sometimes we walk around them in the halls not always “seeing” them or their work as important. That’s why we love this day, National Custodian Day, which rolls around every October 2nd. It recognizes the hard work that it takes to keep our public facilities in tip-top shape as well as the people who diligently work to make sure we have schools and workplaces that are spotless and sanitary. Our Maintenance Department is our first line of defense of the war on germs and often, it’s a thankless task. So, on National Custodian Day, please show your appreciation to the custodians and maintenance staff who clean and maintain the office buildings, classrooms and our outdoor/athletic facilities that you frequent at Brocton CSD. Thank you Ken, Paul, James, Jeff, Ryan, Joe, Hunter, Mark, Tamara, Valerie, Will, Kelly, David, and our dedicated substitute cleaners.

This week, Mr. Galofaro sent our third and fourth graders home with books to add to their home libraries or trade with a friends or family! On each bag full of books, he attached a note explaining
"These wonderful books have been collected and donated by retired teachers and friends of the library.
With so many books and so little time, it’s time to do some cleaning!
Time to make space for new stories and characters!"
All of these books are already in our library and we just have too many copies!
I hope you will look through these books and add them to your home library or find a place to donate them where children can continue to enjoy these stories for years to come!"
