Silver Creek CSD

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.

This week's #SeniorSunday spotlight is on Lio Hammer, who had the incredible opportunity to spend a week this past July with students from all over the nation at the ACLU National Advocacy Institute, attending multiple elective classes that discussed major topics of student interest and how to become change-makers. Lio was able to hear from experts on student rights, get out the vote, presidential administrations and how their decisions affect students, 1st Amendment rights, the use of AI, Social media content & platforms and what Gen-Z can do to create change.

Lio had the opportunity to hear from lawyers who have argued in the Supreme Court, as well as had the opportunity to write and deliver letters to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Lio's favorite part was the unique opportunity to meet students from all over the country and to see how many incredible people who want to make a difference. Lio's eventual goal is to study philosophy and history before attending law school to become a Human Rights Lawyer after graduation.
