Our 4th graders had the opportunity to visit the Genesee Country Village and Museum. The Genesee Valley region is a recreated historic village, providing context for the telling of New York State and 19th-century American history.
Chartered as an educational institution by the NYS Board of Regents, the
Museum offers opportunities to see, smell, taste, touch, explore, and experience our 68 historic buildings; more than 20,000 artifacts; wildlife paintings, drawings, and sculptures spanning centuries; the living collections in our gardens, on our working farm and at our Nature Center; and the gorgeous landscape that first brought settlers to this region.

🎉 HUGE shoutout to our amazing Girls on the Run team and the incredible HS Track girls! 🎉
Wednesday's practice 5k was a HUGE success, and we were so thrilled to have the High School Track team join us again as running buddies for each of our GOTR girls! 🥰 This annual practice is something our girls look forward to so much, and it's easy to see why.
The track team members are such fantastic role models – helpful and encouraging as our girls tackled their longest-running challenge yet! They listened attentively, offered positive support, and gently pushed our girls to set and achieve mini-goals along the way. It was truly inspiring to witness their kindness and encouragement.
The best part? At the end, our GOTR girls were already asking when the HS team could come back! 😊
A massive thank you to everyone who supports both Girls on the Run and our High School Track program. And a special thank you to Coach Patak for helping us create this amazing and impactful opportunity for our team! 🙌 #GirlsOnTheRun #GOTR #HighSchoolTrack #RunningBuddies #RoleModels #CommunitySupport #MakingADifference #Practice5k

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!

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!

The 2026 Spanish Club trip to Costa Rica was a huge success! Our students experienced four different national parks, the beach, and many Costa Rican towns. We hiked, kayaked, ziplined, rode horses, swam, spoke a lot of Spanish, ate new foods, and learned so much about the people, culture, and ourselves. Our next trip will be in two years: All juniors and seniors enrolled in Spanish in 2028 will have the opportunity for this once in a lifetime adventure. ¡Pura vida!
🎶✨ 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.
