March 2021 Points of Pride from Superintendent Bradley
National School Breakfast Week
The week of March 8, 2021 was National School Breakfast Week (NSBW). This annual celebration raises awareness and highlights the significant impact school breakfast has on a student's ability to succeed. The NSBW campaign theme, “Score Big with School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy and energizing start to the day for students.
The Lockport City School District offers breakfast to all students at no charge through the Community Eligibility Provision program. The breakfast program is provided through Aramark Food Services and features hot breakfast sandwiches, cereal, fresh fruit, milk, and juice.
March is Women's History Month
March 8th was International Women's Day (IWD), a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The 2021 theme is "Choose to Challenge". The Special Education Department is raising their hands high to commit to choose to challenge and call out inequality. "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." -James Baldwin

March Learning in Our Schools
Emmet Belknap Intermediate School
George Southard Elementary School
As a STEAM (Science, Technology, English, Art, Music) activity, students made leprechaun traps to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. Leprechaun traps are typically green and gold and feature items such as gold coins, rainbows, top hat and four leaf clover to entice the leprechaun into the trap.
Anna Merritt Elementary School
"Agricultural Literacy Week" was March 15 - 19. Mrs. Scapelliti's and Mrs. Ginty's classrooms celebrated by reading "Chuck's Ice Cream Wish" (Tales Of The Dairy Godmother), by Viola Butler, and making their own ice cream!
Charles Upson Elementary School
Second grade students used checklists to develop writing goals on opinion pieces. Students wrote about a topic, stated an opinion, and provided reasons to support their opinion. Students used linking words (such as: because, and, since) to connect their opinion and reasons, then provided a concluding statement.
