The Echoes program comes around in the Fall to gather writing pieces from Middle Schoolers. The students write anything from song lyrics, poetry, creative news articles, and creative stories, which the Echoes program collects to review. They then choose the top pieces from each school to include in their performance when they return in the spring. This year, Raelynn Hall's story about a dog translator was chosen to be performed! Congratulations to Raelynn, as well as Aubrey Vallieres and Veronica Coleman for also receiving honorable awards! Special "Thank You" to the Echoes performers for putting on a fantastic show for us last week!
Kindergarten celebrated Earth Day today by coloring Earth pictures and cleaning up litter around the school! Great work, Blue Jays!

💊💊Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. This Saturday, April 26, Allegany County Spring Pill Drop is a chance to clean out your medicine cabinets and turn in your unused or unwanted medications. You can drop off any medication, no questions asked, at the fire departments in Cuba and Wellsville on Saturday April 26 from 10am to 2pm. 9,600 tons of medications have been collected nationwide in the years that the DEA has sponsored this "Take Back" Day.
