May 2022 Points of Pride from Superintendent Bradley
Thank you Ms. Copperthite
Third grade students were celebrating the completion of the book "Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo, when a student began to choke. Ms. Renee Copperthite performed the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge the obstruction, allowing the student to start breathing. Thank you Ms. Copperthite for being part of the Anna Merritt Elementary School team, taking the CPR training provided by the district, and keeping students safe.

College Master Class
Dr. Anael Alston, the Assistant Commissioner of Access, Equity, and Community Engagement Services for the New York State Education Department, is visiting Lockport City School District to offer a 2-Day College Master Class to juniors and seniors. In the first class, Dr. Alston inspired the students and parents in the audience to use their personal narrative to highlight their life’s experiences, goals, growth, introspection, and focus on their learning and development as a person. “This is your opportunity to shine,” he claimed. The theme for the evening was “You are more than your GPA, Test Scores, and Extracurricular Activities". We express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Alston for his vision and support for My Brother's Keeper initiatives. Dr. Alston will be returning May 25. Consider attending the final session if you are a junior, senior, or a parent/guardian. Kindly direct any questions to Dr. Barrett abarrett@lockportschools.net.
Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. This year, the theme of Mental Health Awareness Month is "Together for Mental Health." Throughout this pandemic, we have faced isolation, turmoil and unrest, and a growing number of Americans experienced mental health symptoms. We’ve learned through this experience that we all struggle during challenging times and need support and access to care so we can thrive.
We are joining the national movement to raise awareness about mental health.
The Lockport City School District FORWARD Team is proud to fight stigma, provide support, educate the public, and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.

Teacher Appreciation Week May 2-6, 2022
Teachers and educators play a vital role in the lives of children. Teachers help students to think creatively and encourage students to challenge themselves on a daily basis. Being a teacher requires patience, understanding, and a lifetime of dedication. At this time, it is appropriate that we recognize and appreciate teachers for all that they do.

May in our Schools
Lockport High School
Charles Upson Elementary School
Students learned about the life cycle of a praying mantis with egg cases. Students waited patiently until over a hundred tiny little praying mantises hatched from the egg case. Students were also able to study an exoskeleton of an adult preying mantis. Mrs. Leuer’s kindergarten friends released the insects back into nature.
