The Hammondsport Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 8 new student members and 2 honorary members during a special ceremony on Friday, May 1st. New members include Madison Tears, Ashleigh Meade, Elizabeth Campbell, Orion Davis, Jovana Rosebloom, Morgan Conley, Kaitlyn Watson, Veronica Sullivan, and Lacie Bergstresser . Honorary inductees included two employees of the district, Laura Gugliotta and Carrie Crane. Students in their 11th or 12th grade of school who had a weighted GPA of at least a 90 were provided an application to apply to the NHS. After submitting their applications, an anonymous five member faculty council selected by the Principal reviewed those applications in addition to faculty feedback to make sure that each candidate met the pillars of NHS: Leadership, Scholarship, Character, and Service. A majority vote from the council was needed for selection. Members of the NHS participate in a number of group community service projects and complete at least 5 hours in an individual service project. Congratulations to the new inductees and their families!

We were incredibly lucky to host a special performance by the talented voices of the Hamilton-Gibson Children's Choir, and it was truly a treat for the ears! Our students were treated to a high-energy, beautiful setlist that bridged generations. The choir showcased their impressive range, moving seamlessly through a variety of genres. A huge thank you to the directors and performers of Hamilton-Gibson for sharing your time and talent with us today. You’ve definitely left Glenn Curtiss Elementary with a song in our hearts! #GlennCurtissElementary #HamiltonGibson #ChildrensChoir #MusicInSchools #CommunityArts

Our Physics and Integrated Science students had an electrifying day of learning! ⚡🔬

They kicked things off with a visit to the Monroe County Crime Lab, where they explored different areas of forensic science and got a behind-the-scenes look at how science helps solve real-world mysteries 🕵️‍♂️

The adventure continued at the Rochester Museum and Science Center, where students experienced electricity from inside a Faraday Cage (yes—inside 😮) and checked out a wide variety of interactive exhibits.

A day full of science, discovery, and hands-on fun—what a great experience for our students!

We're thrilled to recognize our incredible Golden Lakers for the month of March! 🎉 It's been a joy watching these students demonstrate what it truly means to be a leader by being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe every day. Their commitment to a Growth Mindset is truly inspiring. You set a wonderful example for everyone—keep up the amazing work! 🥇

🎶✨ Before break, some of our talented students had the amazing opportunity to participate in All-County!

Representing our school were members of the 6th Grade Chorus, Senior High Chorus, and Junior High Band—and they absolutely shined! 🌟 Their hard work and dedication were on full display during the concert, and they did a FABULOUS job! 👏🎤🎺

We couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of them for representing us so well. Way to go! 🎶

Hammondsport seniors spent March 27th engaging in a full day of real‑world learning and community connection. The morning was devoted to an in‑depth Mad City Money simulation at the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, offered through the Corning Credit Union. Students were each assigned an adult persona—complete with a career, salary, family situation, debt, and monthly expenses—and were challenged to build and balance a realistic household budget. They visited themed “shops” staffed by volunteers, making decisions about housing, transportation, groceries, insurance, childcare, and discretionary spending. Throughout the simulation, students encountered surprise expenses, weighed wants versus needs, and practiced strategies for staying financially stable. The experience highlighted the complexity of financial decision‑making and gave students a safe space to experiment, make mistakes, and learn essential life skills.

In the afternoon, students traveled to the Fred & Harriet Taylor Memorial Library for a guided tour. Library staff introduced them to the building’s collections, digital resources, and the wide range of programs available to teens and adults. Students learned about research support, creative workshops, community events, technology access, and enrichment opportunities that extend far beyond traditional library services.

Together, the two experiences offered students a meaningful blend of practical financial literacy, community awareness, and lifelong‑learning opportunities.

🎨✨ Pop Art Comes to Life in 8th Grade! ✨🎨

Our Art 8 students recently dove into the bold and playful world of Pop Art, inspired by the iconic artist Claes Oldenburg! Known for his larger-than-life sculptures of everyday objects, Oldenburg sparked some BIG creativity in our classroom.

After studying his work, our talented 8th graders rolled up their sleeves and created their own oversized masterpieces using paper mâché—and the results are AMAZING!

From ordinary objects turned extraordinary, these students truly brought imagination to life. Check out some of their fun and fabulous creations!

Yesterday was Senior Switch Day, and it was such a fun experience! Seniors had the chance to step into the shoes of a staff member of their choice and get a behind-the-scenes look at what their day is really like. From classrooms to offices, our students gained a whole new perspective—and maybe even discovered a future career path along the way!

🌸 Small Acts, Big Smiles! Our fourth graders had a heart-warming visit to the Steuben Center recently, and it was the highlight of their week! The students spent time creating vibrant, spring-themed pictures to brighten up the day for the residents. From the moment they walked through the doors, the joy was infectious. Seeing the elation on the residents' faces as they received these hand-crafted masterpieces was a beautiful reminder that kindness is a universal language. 🎨✨ "It was a wonderful reminder of the power of small acts of kindness." Thank you to the Steuben Center for welcoming us, and a huge shout-out to our thoughtful fourth graders for spreading so much love and cheer! #CommunityKindness #FourthGradeJoy #SpringSmiles #SmallActsBigImpact #SteubenCenter
