FHS STUDENTS LEARN MORE ABOUT BULLYING
Many thanks to UB's Alberti Center for Bullying Prevention for their presentation to our HS students today. We appreciate their knowledge and insights as we seek to both understand and eliminate these kinds of behaviors from our school community. Please remember to report any kind of bullying activity to our teachers and/or administrators as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.
Thanks to Ashleigh Brown for the fantastic photos.
As reported in the Observer, Brayden Korzeniewski’s goal from Sam Pietro in the 65th minute proved to be the winner as Fredonia beat Dunkirk 2-1 in Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division I boys soccer at SUNY Fredonia.
Ryan Koopman opened the scoring in the second minute of the game for the Hillbillies (10-2-2, 4-2-2).
Alex Biscaro tied the game from Naisaih Rodriguez in the 60th minute for the Marauders (8-5-1, 4-3-1).
We have been made aware of calls being made to parents of Juniors, saying their student has requested PSAT exam resources. The caller states they will be mailing a flash drive with the resources; they just need a credit card in case the flash drive isn't returned within 30 days.
If you receive a call similar to this, please hang up immediately.
