On March 28, the Brocton Elementary School STEM Club participated in the Chautauqua County Elementary STEM Wars. The event was hosted by Southwestern Central School District at the Northwest Arena in Jamestown. The STEM club had multiple teams successfully compete, and combined Brocton students won five 1st place, three 2nd place, and two 3rd place awards! The areas of competition included robotic programming, marble runs, catapults, poster design, t-shirt design, Maker Faire, and a hackathon. The Brocton robotics team was one of a handful of teams to successfully complete the Dash robot programming challenge. When not competing, students had the opportunity to learn about careers in STEM and how STEM is used by local businesses, the BOCES P-Tech program, the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department, and the Air Force. Demonstrations of drones and robots used in the workforce were held for students. A few students had the opportunity to control one of the smaller robots. The Prendergast Library was also present and showcased a variety of STEM/Makerspace kits and materials that students were allowed to explore using. This was the first year Brocton Elementary has participated in this event and the first year the school has had a before school STEM Club. Since February, students have been meeting on Friday mornings to create STEM projects and prepare for STEM Wars.

The Social Work Department, Mrs. Neratko, Miss Amber and Mrs. Walker organized a sneaky Leprechaun hunt for students leading up to Saint Patrick’s Day. Over the last week, Brocton Elementary students have been on a leprechaun hunt throughout the building in attempts to locate all hidden leprechaun’s with one sneaky leprechaun missing until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 16th. Students gathered in the gym to search for the last hidden leprechaun, Aubree Espersen located the hidden leprechaun- Mrs. Kopizack! It was a wonderful surprise for the students to see their principal dressed as a leprechaun handing out a Saint Patrick’s Day treat. Congratulations to Mrs. Liberator’s class for winning the First Annual Leprechaun Hunt, each student received a medal and a trophy for their classroom. We look forward to next year's Leprechaun hunt. Have a wonderful Saint Patrick’s Day and a safe weekend. All our love, The Social Work Department. “You are the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow”
