Congratulations to Sydney Burdick for earning second place in this year's Liberty Bell competition! She was nominated by Mr. Busch, then wrote an essay and interviewed with the committee. As 2nd place winner, she received $250 and a certificate. We are so proud of you, Sydney! The Liberty Bell is awarded to the student who, in the opinion of the interview committee, demonstrates a knowledge of civic, educational and community events and who, by his or her academic and extracurricular background, demonstrates a strong commitment to citizenship. To be nominated for a Liberty Bell Award, a student does not have to be considering a career in law.

Lunch Menu Change: Thursday, June 17 - Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza

Over the years the Richfield Springs Central School has held annual events to give back to the community. The annual food drive is a grades 7 through 12 level competition that provides an opportunity for students to give back to those in need. Students were asked to donate nonperishable food items, such as canned goods and more. This year, like everything else in the world, things couldn’t function as normal. But that did not stop RSCS! Janine Shulkie and Samantha North devised a plan to create a COVID friendly event that could help the Richfield Springs Food Bank. A two-week Pre-K through 12th grade coin drive was created. Pre-K through grade 6 conducted a coin collection, while grades 7 through 12 had a penny war. After day one of this school-wide activity over $100 was raised and by the end of the week that increased to over $600. At the beginning of the second week a challenge was brought to the faculty and staff to match what the students donated. This models the behavior we want our young people to learn as well as doubles the impact of our unannounced donation for our community. At the completion of the competition, the total student donations came to $2,362! Mrs. Wust’s kindergarten class finished in first for the elementary competition and the Class of 2023, won the 7 through 12 penny war competition. This activity brought a different type of school unity. In addition to the students, faculty and staff donations, two local businesses joined in on the fun, Rathbun Renovations and Cooper Auto. Together, all groups generated nearly $5000 for the Richfield Springs Food Bank. Thank you to all those who helped by donating to this competition. It is a true blessing to be part of this giving and supportive community.

On Thursday, May 20, the STEAM Club was lucky to have the inventor and scientist, Nikola Tesla join us remotely to present information and perform demonstrations in electricity, magnetism, and wireless transmission of energy and communication. Many of the devices in use today are attributed to Tesla's original theories and inventions. The students interacted with him, and asked intelligent, thoughtful questions. His performance was grant-based through Matheatre.com.
