HS Students Invited to Make Valentines for Nursing Home Residents in AP Chill Zone Event:
Did you know that there is scientific evidence that shows that helping others is proven to have positive impacts for both the person being helped and the person doing the helping? This year, the HS Counseling Center is offering a February AP Chill Zone event to help out people in nursing homes. A local man named Thomas Phillips created “Operation Valentine” to send Valentine’s cards to nursing home residents to brighten their day. We are asking that you please participate by either creating or signing a Valentine’s Day Card, which we will then collect and mail to local nursing homes!

Superintendent Knuth's Letter to the Community- 2/2/2021:
February 2, 2021
Dear Skaneateles family,
We are so excited to begin to see restrictions lifted throughout our region. This week we began to offer expanded in-person opportunities for our students including the addition of student activities and the start of athletics. While this is certainly a sign of progress, we were also reminded yesterday just how susceptible we still are to COVID-19 and associated orders of isolation and quarantine.
On Monday of this week, we learned of an infection at our high school that resulted in seven teachers, a teaching assistant, and 63 students being placed into mandatory 10-day quarantine due to exposure. Thank you for your continued understanding that we cannot discuss any confidential medical information ...

Skaneateles DECA Chapter Competes in Region Nine DECA Competition:
The Skaneateles DECA chapter competed in the Region 9 DECA Competition virtually the week of December 7th. The students would normally attend the competition at LeMoyne College, but this year everything was done virtually. The students took a 100-question test in the subject areas of Business Administration, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and Finance. They were also given an interview to complete in their chosen area of competition and they had to record themselves as if they were an executive solving a problem. It was challenging to make everything happen, but the students showed how well they could do in pressure situations and working independently. Congratulations to all participants and this year's winners!

Skaneateles Production Technology and the High School Drama Club Present "It's a Wonderful Life" Radio Show:
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the experience for students at Skaneateles High School, as it has for students across the nation. Ordinarily, the Skaneateles Drama Club would have put on a fall production back in early November, but due to social distancing guidelines and other coronavirus-related barriers, a regular fall show was not in the cards for this year. Students and faculty alike had to think creatively in order to bring a safer sort of performance to the school. This year, Brian Franco started a new class called Production Technology, dedicated to teaching students the behind the scenes aspects to both live theater and film, such as camerawork, lighting, audio engineering, and foley. The idea of a radio show came almost embedded into the nature of this course. This ...
