It’s berry season in Attica and our food service staff are ALREADY working hard to prepare for next year!
Yesterday, we spotted them prepping and freezing strawberries from Brown’s Berry Patch for students to enjoy in the fall!

Oh, and did we mention that before they wowed at the Red Wings game our 5th/6th grade chorus ALSO took second place at the Darien Lake Music Festival?
It’s true!
Competing against 6 other schools, our students scored a 97.3 to take the second place spot.
And what better way to celebrate a second place finish than with a day of fried foods and roller coasters?!
Head on over to our Facebook page at the link below for a full photo album from students' trip!

We're super proud of our 5th and 6th grade chorus members who kicked off the Rochester Red Wings’ June 12 game against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders with the singing of the National Anthem!
“They received a lot of compliments on what a great job they did,” said Chorus Director Mrs. Julie Daley. “We’re so proud of them!”

Flag Day festivities were abundant Friday at Attica Elementary!
We tagged along for our elementary schoolers’ annual parade around the block.
Then, after their parade, students assembled on the front lawn for a Flag Day ceremony where they thanked local veterans, recognized Attica seniors Katherine Ewert and Matthew Kingswell, both of whom will enlist in the U.S. Navy after graduation, shared what the American flag means to them and sang a few patriotic songs.
Not a bad morning if you ask us!
Check out videos of the parade and assembly and a photo album of the day’s festivities at the links below.

Farm Day at Attica Elementary is definitely one of our favorite days of the year!
Held this past Friday, our elementary schoolers enjoyed a jam-packed day full of fun and informative agriculture-centric activities, stations and experiences.
Our younger students learned about soil types, seeds, beekeeping, tractors, dairy and whole foods - not to mention all kinds of different animals.
A huge thank you to Attica Partners for Agriculture, our Future Farmers of America members and all our other community partners who helped make this day possible!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHTS: With t-minus 18 days left to go before graduation, we figured it would be a good time to recognize our seniors!
Over the next few days, we’ll be highlighting our seniors - all 101 of them - and their plans after graduation.
We know you’ll join us in congratulating our Attica Class of 2024 and wishing them well, wherever life happens to take them!
During our senior parade earlier this week, senior Matt Kingswell stopped long enough to snap a photo with his little brother, first grader Bradley Stachura!

Student Government brought back their Sand Volleyball Tournament this year!
Teams competed Thursday on the sand court out near our tennis courts.
Such a fun day! Weather was great, games were intense and fun was universal!
A special shout out to the Volleyballers team, which took first place in the tournament but last in the most creative name contest.

Some understandable tension this morning at our annual Middle School Wax Museum as Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were spotted together for the first time since blockbuster news of Diggs’ trade to Houston broke in April.
In all seriousness, Logan Raimonde and Blake Sidell did a great job portraying #17 and #14 at today’s Wax Museum - as did all our other sixth grade students!
Full photo album coming later today over on our Facebook page at the link below.
