We wrapped up our final Homeschool Group of the school year this past Monday!

We celebrated with awards, enjoyed a special treat, and took advantage of the beautiful weather with some parachute games outside using our giant parachute. It was a fun way to end a great year together.

Thank you to all of our families for being part of such a wonderful school year. We loved learning and growing with you. We can’t wait to see everyone back in September!

Homeschool Group had a great time this past Monday at our annual Robot STEM Day. Kids explored hands-on coding and robotics with Sphero robots, Code & Go Robot Mouse, and Code-a-Pillar. It’s always fun to see creativity and problem-solving in action!

Our final homeschool class of the school year will be Monday, June 8.

May is Poppy Month!

Tomorrow is National Poppy Day, observed on the Friday before Memorial Day. It is a time to honor those who served and remember the sacrifices made by our veterans.

Each year, DeRuyter Central School District students partner with Mr. Drake and the American Legion Woodford- Burdick Post 894 Auxiliary to create meaningful poppy posters for the American Legion Auxiliary’s Poppy Poster Contest, reflecting the Auxiliary’s mission to support veterans, military members, and their families.

Please note that the four first-place posters are not currently on display. They have advanced to the next round at the state level.

You can view the full display of student-created poppy posters at the DeRuyter Free Library now through the beginning of July. Stop in to support our students and take a moment to honor our veterans.
