School Social Workers rise up - supporting their students, families, and school communities. School Social Workers rise to share hope. They rise to listen and understand. They rise to challenge inequities. They rise to support all students. The Brocton Central School District would like to thank Mrs. Neratko, Ms. Nickerson-Buchanan and Mrs. Walker for always being there for our students and always supporting their needs.

The fourth grade completed a cross-curricular miniunit using the popular game Minecraft (the education version). Students engaged in a Minecraft world called The Mindful Knight, with medieval themed activities that had them learning about mindfulness through reading, digital journaling, and problem solving. Vocabulary instruction was also embedded in Minecraft, as well as through collaborative activities that encouraged students to think critically and make connections with the vocabulary terms. At the end of the unit, students wrote a narrative script about the Minecraft challenge and shared what they learned. Finally, they created a video using their script using an online video creation and discussion tool called Flip.

Tomorrow is P.S. I Love You Day. We are excited to see purple spread throughout our school to stand up against bullying, help end depression and ultimately end suicide. 200 schools nationwide will be participating! We are hopeful that more love, kindness and connectedness will bring our school together as a family. Don't forget to wear purple for us, wear purple for the silent battles we can't see.
