We wrapped up week 3 of Summer Exploration Camp at Seabreeze Amusement Park! We had a great day of fun riding rides and sliding down water slides! Many of our campers showed their bravery by trying new rides, including roller coasters and upside down fun! And the bus ride home was a quiet one, with our campers exhausted from fun! The smiles never stopped!
We'd like to send out a giant "Thank You" to Walmart and The Tri County YMCA of NY for donating school supplies and backpacks for our students! These supplies and backpacks will be provided for all students attending Whitesville Central School this coming school year!
For week 3 of Exploration Camp, students learned about simple machines and amusement park rides. They even created their very own simple machine - a kite! They also read with their buddies and enjoyed some gross motor fun!

On Friday last week, our 6th grade CTE class made chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies in the Home Ec Room! They worked in assigned groups with specific jobs and then handed them out to their MS/HS teachers with Thank You cards they had been working on in class with Ms. Stevens. On Monday, the students made homemade pancakes and delivered them to their teachers with a side of fruit!
The students exhibited teamwork, collaboration, and problem solving, which they demonstrated with flying colors! Being able to taste their results may have played a big role in their successful teamwork! Great way to end the year 6th graders!!
Our 3rd through 5th graders had their own water day adventures at Trout Run Camp's Splash Pad! No better way to spend a 90 degree day than this!
Kindergarten and 1st graders beat the heat today with water day!
Don't forget to send those blue Summer Exploration Camp registration forms back to school with your child!
We can't wait for the fun to start as our students wonder and explore becoming confident thinkers and curious problem solvers!
