We recently received the following letter from parent Stephanie Cox.
Good morning,
I hope this message finds you well. I felt compelled to write to you today to express my appreciation and admiration for one of your bus drivers who has consistently demonstrated exceptional service.
Mr. Savage, Allendale Bus 23, is wonderful. He is on time every morning and afternoon and is so kind to my kids. Every day the kids come home happy and really enjoy him. He brings special toys on the bus to entertain the kids and has connected with each student. He ensures the kids are safely in the house before he leaves, and is genuinely a nice guy. Please share with him our appreciation!
Warm regards,
Stephanie Cox
Thank you to both Mr. Savage for his excellence in service and Mrs. Cox, for taking the time to let us know.
BOARD RECOGNITIONS
Officer Michael Rybak was recognized by the Board at our 10-10-23 meeting. He was named the John F. Cataldi, Jr., SRO of the Year by the New York State Juvenile Officer and School Resource Officers Association this past summer. SRO Rybak was joined by West Seneca Police Chief, Ed Baker; and Assistant Chief, William J. Leitzel, who was Mike’s commanding officer and his nominator for the Cataldi award.
Officer Rybak says that his relationships with children, families, and school personnel are what makes him love his job. He says safety is his first priority. How fitting, that right after he received his certificate from the Board, Officer Rybak then recognized a student hero - Jake Duffy.
Jake is a 4th grader at Northwood Elementary, and his sister, Olivia, is in 1st grade at Northwood. Olivia has a history of seizures, and Jake is very much tuned in to his sister’s health. Jake recently saw that Olivia was on the verge of a seizure on their school bus and quickly found an adult to help while the bus driver, Brigid Spiesz, stayed with Olivia. Early on, Jake was afraid for her when he saw his sister in distress, now he is her hero and her helper, employing cool, calm action.
Olivia quickly recovered on the bus that day, and both children continued home safely. Officer Rybak, who is indeed a friend to all of our children, had a special certificate for Jake for his show of bravery in a tense moment.
We are proud of Jake and of Brigid. We are also proud of Jake and Olivia’s mom, Jessica Friend, who is in the Police Academy, and on her way to being “Officer Friend”.
We are pleased to announce that all students enrolled in the West Seneca Central School District will receive a FREE breakfast and lunch at school beginning on November 1, 2023.
This implementation is a result of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) expanding access to the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.
Effective November 1, 2023, all students enrolled in the West Seneca CSD will receive meals at no cost to your household. No further action is required of you.
All meal charges incurred prior to November 1, 2023, will still need to be paid.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at 716-677-3810.
Parents: CCRN and the United Way want to hear from you.

Today is National Buy a Musical Instrument Day. This fifth grade orchestra student from West Elementary shares why she loves being involved in music: I love orchestra because all the skills we learn. In the music we play there are four different groups: bass, cello, violin and viola. Each group contributes an element of music we are playing. We come together as one to create beautiful music. After we play the piece on stage, I feel very accomplished and know how good we did and how much everyone loved it. That is why I love fifth grade orchestra.
