The FHMS Health Science Award was created for high school students graduating from High School in Chautauqua County. The $1,000 scholarship is awarded to 3 qualifying students who are enrolling full-time to receive a degree in public health, health science, nursing, or another health-related field.

The cast, crew, pit, and production team of Disney's “The Little Mermaid” are grateful to all those who were in attendance at the Silver Creek High musical this past weekend.
The show ran April 13-16, 2023, and was an absolute success. Thanks also to Mr. Todd Crandall, Mr. Kyle Yelich, Mrs. Jody Johnson, the Tytka family, and Jaime Ervin.
An extra-special thank you goes out to the Performing Arts Booster Club and Mr. Phillip McMullen. Without them, the show would not have had all of the amazing costumes, props and sets.
Since they can never truly be thanked enough, the board of the Performing Arts Boosters need to be recognized: Melissa Matney, Michele Grisanti, and Annette Monaco. They spent countless hours procuring costumes and props. Planning a cast party for the students, running a basket and 50/50 raffle, and reorganizing the costume and prop room. They work they do for these students is remarkable.
Mr. Bridon, Mrs. Laurenzi and Mr. McMullen could not be more proud of all those involved.

o Student must have a minimum 2.50 cumulative grade point average.
o Student must show evidence of active participation in school and community activities/service.

Good afternoon Silver Creek Families,
We invite you to attend the next virtual workshop on April 12, 2023. Once again, the event will be hosted by David Hymowitz of #SameHere and is part of the district’s mission to educate and support the whole child.
The topic will be How to Have a Discussion with Your Children About Substance Use. Traditional workshops educate adults on how to talk TO kids. Talking to kids is the same as talking AT them, which means they probably are not listening. This workshop demonstrates effective ways to engage your kids in a discussion about substance use by using active listening skills. Listening allows them to examine their feelings and beliefs about the potential role of substances in their lives and how to support them.
Links for the virtual workshops are accessible at www.silvercreekschools.org. Each workshop begins at 7:00 p.m. and runs approximately 45 minutes.
Contact the district social workers with any questions. Learn more at samehereglobal.org.
The Native American Education Committee of Silver Creek Central School District will hold a meeting on Thursday, April 13, 2023, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Contact Mary Williams for details via email at mwilliams@silvercreekschools.org.
