Ever wonder how students can develop their leadership skills? 🤔 Well, did you know we have student-run assemblies at Glenn Curtiss Elementary that provide incredible opportunities for them to take the lead and learn valuable life skills? Our students get the opportunity to practice public speaking in front of their peers and our staff. #StudentVoice #LeadershipDevelopment #GoLakers

During an enrichment math time, 4th-grade students Misha and Tucker learned how to open a business, create a business plan, calculate costs and profits, advertise, and more by creating their own Hot Chocolate business that our Elementary HCS Staff was treated to!
They learned about the different types of resources (human, nature, and capital), goods and services, producers and consumers, and costs and profit. They made a $12.54 profit.

Today, March 21st, is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD). This global awareness day has been officially observed since 2012. Our HCS students and staff were invited to wear "Crocs and socks" in recognition of this day.
The Bath Area Family Resource Center has a variety of fun activities and parenting education opportunities in the coming months! See the attached flyers.
Our 6th graders learn about the Iditarod Sled Dog race from Anchorage to Nome every year. The students are assigned mushers whom they track through the 938-mile race. Each year, at the end of the race, there is a culminating celebration. It seems fitting that Mr. Bower’s musher won the race in his final year at HCS!
Yesterday, our Curtiss Chorus, Beginner, and Symphonic Bands performed an in school performance for the other Glenn Curtiss Students. Performing for their peers gives our musicians a chance to showcase their hardwork. This also gives our youngest Lakers a taste of what opportunities await them!

Mrs. Robarge took our Ag Buddies Club on a field trip to Birdseye Hollow last Friday. The students saw how maple syrup is made. The owner, Mr. Ferris, taught our students about the maple syrup process and gave them a taste test of his award-winning maple syrup.
Good Morning,
As Board of Education President, I have some exciting news to share with you, we have selected a highly qualified individual to be the next Superintendent for Hammondsport and have agreed upon a tentative contract. The full board will be voting to approve that contract Wednesday night at our regular board meeting. The next Superintendent of the Hammondsport Central School District will be Dr. Brian Corey. I’ll take this opportunity to be the first to say welcome to Hammondsport and that we wish you a long tenure as Superintendent! Some of you may have met Brian as he comes to us from BOCES where he is currently the Director of the Central Business Office. Prior to BOCES in his 27 years of education experience he started out as a music teacher in Berne-Knox-Westerlo CSD, became an administrator there, transitioned to Jefferson CSD as Superintendent, transitioned to Superintendent at Red Creek CSD and left Red Creek for BOCES. Brian holds a Doctoral degree in Higher Education Leadership from Walden University and a master’s and bachelor’s degree from The College of Saint Rose. Brian and his family live in Painted Post. Brian is planning on being at Wednesday’s board meeting and the board is working, along with Kyle, on sessions to introduce him to staff, students and the Hammondsport community. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the stakeholders in the selection process for their thoughtful inputs throughout this process. As the board sought feedback, we were reminded of what makes Hammondsport a special place in that the tendered questions and concerns had significant overlap between administrators, teachers, staff and community members. The board used those inputs to filter through two rounds of interviews down selecting from a highly qualified pool of candidates. We were thrilled by the overall quality of the applicant pool, several of the applicants for the position had selectively chosen to apply because they wanted to come to Hammondsport and were not actively seeking Superintendent roles elsewhere. The board would like to thank all the candidates for their time and applications and also thank the BOCES District Superintendent, Stacy Saglibene, for her help and guidance throughout this search process.
Go Lakers!
Kevin Bennett
