Franklin was found reading his favorite book in an open courtyard at Wayland-Cohocton this morning. He was glad to see the sun out and to read about what it's like to go to school. The WC Elementary staff helped Franklin find his way back to a safe area near the school pond. Thanks for visiting Franklin!

Wayland-Cohocton honors and remembers on this Memorial Day, May 26th. Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a solemn national holiday in the United States dedicated to honoring and remembering the deceased men and women who served in the U.S. military. It is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by these individuals and to show gratitude for their service. Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day began as a way to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers with flowers. Over time, it evolved to honor all those who have died in service to the country, both in peacetime and during wartime.

In pursuit of her Seal of Civic Readiness, WC student Olivia Schecter is dedicating her efforts to animal welfare. Her project seeks to highlight the pressing issues of underfunding and inadequate support for animal shelters, as well as the alarming problems associated with kill shelters and puppy mills. To get this project underway, Olivia has launched a pet donation drive. Any donations to the cause would be immensely beneficial to these shelters! Anything can help, including paper towels, cat litter, blankets, toys, cleaning supplies, and more! Gently used products (besides unsealed food and treats, litter, and toys) are welcome as well. Dropoff boxes can be found in the WCCS Elementary, Middle, and High School offices, as well as Quinlan's Pharmacy.

LEARNING AND GROWING THROUGH AGRICULTURE: Cornell Cooperative Agriculture Educator Stephanie McKinley and Program Educator Michelle Chase have made a few visits to Wayland-Cohocton Elementary School as part of the Ag-in-the-Classroom program. Each month they share a different agriculture lesson including a story and an activity. Students have learned about the process of making maple syrup, growing a Christmas Tree and growing a pumpkin to create pumpkin pie. At the holidays the evergreen tree story included the opportunity to make an ornament from a slice of a pine tree. Students worked on a sequencing and coloring activity to review how the sweet maple syrup gets from tree to pancakes. After reading a story about pumpkins the students made a no-bake pumpkin pie dessert that even some of the most-hesitant students found delicious. WCCS is proud to partner with Steuben County Cooperative Extension for these additional lessons and a chance to grow our agricultural knowledge.
