October is Anti-Bullying Month, and today we focused on it by wearing orange and participating in a scavenger hunt throughout the morning. Our theme was SMART HEROes; the campaign against bullying! Playing off the acronyms, HERO stands for Helping Everyone Respect Others, and SMART are the action heroes that were involved in the scavenger hunt with descriptions. S: Safe Seeker - The ability to find a safe pace, adult, or friend to be with or talk to; M: Mitigator - The ability to diffuse conflicts peacefully; A: Aura - The ability to stay protected from harsh words or actions; R: Resilient - The ability to bounce back and stay strong; and T: Truthteller - The ability to tell a bully "no" and to speak up for yourself. Thank you to all of our staff and students for their participation and modeling of these superhero actions.

Our elementary students spent time this week getting hands-on with the cider-making process, learning how fresh apples go from branch to bottle. The best part was getting to taste the incredible homemade cider they helped press! Thank you to our PTO for funding the apples!

Two of our seniors are currently working on projects in collaboration with our STEAM teachers that connect their personal areas of interest with future study. By combining sports media and sports medicine, they worked together to create basketball training videos. NYS Portrait of a graduate asks our students to be both reflective and future-focused and effective communicators. By allowing students to develop individualized learning experiences, we are letting students lead the way in this work.

Welcome to October! The Food Service Department is excited to share our October breakfast and lunch menus with you. We remain committed to serving tasty, well-balanced meals that give our students the energy they need to thrive throughout the school day.
As a reminder, all students are eligible for one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day, regardless of household income.
Even though daily meals are provided at no cost, we strongly encourage all families to complete and submit the annual Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application as well as the SNAP Benefits Application.
Filling out these applications helps in several crucial ways:
- Approved applications help secure critical federal and state funding for our school programs, academic resources, and support services.
- Qualifying families may become eligible for additional benefits.
- Accurate application data ensures our district continues to receive maximum support for future meal programs.
You can find the October Breakfast Menu and October Lunch Menu on the District website: https://www.tburgschools.org/o/trumansburg/page/food-services
Application forms for the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program and SNAP Benefits are available online through the district portal. All information submitted is strictly confidential.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students healthy and ready to learn! We look forward to feeding you!
Sincerely,
Rose Beardsley
