Sophomore Adeline Richardson, who is pursuing the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness via her studies at Silver Creek High School, is pictured with gifts for a local military veteran family in need for the winter holiday season. 🇺🇸 Over the years, SCHS students have coordinated with the WNY Heroes Adopt-A-Hero program in Buffalo to provide food, clothing and other gifts to area veterans in need during the holidays. 🎁 In early December, Adeline facilitated a bake sale fundraiser held December 2, 2022, during a district basketball game. Proceeds of $272 were used to purchase the presents. 🥧🏀💰 Adeline is thankful to Tammy from Creekside Cafe and Bakery, WNY Heroes, Laura LeBarron, her uncle Lenny Pfluger, her sister Harmony Sinders and teacher Miss Kristen Foley for their support in this community project. 🙏🖤💛

Several students and staff Silver Creek High participated in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge at Woodlawn Beach in Hamburg on Friday, December 2, 2022. 💦 🥶 The Polar Plunge is held over two days, with the Friday event for schools only. The Cool School’s Challenge raised more than $140,000, from local schools and the total event raised more than $424,000, a record amount for both days! 💰 Over the past few months, the SCHS team worked hard to raise money to help sponsor Special Olympic athletes. The students each had to raise a minimum of $125 to participate. Many went above and beyond this amount, helping the Silver Creek team raise $10,000. 💪 Eva Tytka and Julie Decker also led the event with the national anthem. This is the third year SCHS participated in the event, each year raising more money than the previous year. 💛🖤 This year Emily Bowers, Julie Decker, Mrs. Shumaker, and Mrs. Decker jumped for the third year; Katie Gard, Lily Prince Rivera, Briana Spinuzza, Stephanie Van Cheri, and Mrs. Cook jumped for their second year; and participating in the jump for the first time were Annie Matney, Haley Ross, Kaydence Spiegle, Ella Austin, Marissa Grisanti, Tyler Januchowski, Dominic Kemp, Summer Sanden, Colin Shumaker, Eva Tytka, Sabra Warner, and Emily Yerke. Everyone had a great time!
