Students (and chaperones) danced the night away to music played by DJ the DJ. They were able to take pictures at the photo booth and enjoy some light refreshments.

Silver Creek Central School District is CLOSED today (Monday, October 13, 2025) in observance of Indigenous Peoples Day. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

This #SeniorSunday we ae recognizing the efforts of three seniors, Amirya, Skyla and Hailie for their work toward the Seal of Civic Readiness. These three girls realized the importance of educating students, staff, and the community of the atrocities committed by residential schools and the trickle-down trauma that still affects Indigenous people to this day. The girls saw a need to educate and bring something special to the community/district, so they worked with mentors both in the school and at the Seneca Nation to hold a Remembrance Walk. They invited community members, including their own family to portray the local impact of residential schools. They have spoken to the SNI President and Council, as well as the Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of the NYS Department of Education. This year-long project will continue with other plans to install a Haudenosaunee flag and a SNI flag in the gym and hold a fundraising for a flag pole outside the school.

If that wasn't achievement enough, they are also each completing Seal of Biliteracy projects: Amirya - a guide for new mothers to be able to speak/teach their babies Seneca; Skyla - an Uno game-translated to Seneca; and Hailie - a children's book in Seneca, translated to English. They are showing amazing capabilities as leaders and changemakers.
