Dear Hinsdale Families,

The holiday season has begun! There is much excitement in the air at our school! I hope that you will join us for the Winter Concerts with the elementary concert on December 14, at 7 p.m., and the middle school-high school concert on December 19 also at 7 p.m. I know that these events will give you that “holiday feeling!” In addition, we welcome all families to a holiday evening with the Literacy Volunteers of Cattaraugus County on Thursday, December 7, at 5:30 p.m. in our school cafeteria. You will make a holiday wreath, learn to make “Hamburger Soup” and learn ways to assist your children with reading at home. It should be an exciting evening and there is no cost involved! Please register your family at 557-2227, ext. 400, if you are attending.

Knowing that this is such a busy time of year for parents, I thought I would share some advice that I recently read from The Parent Institute, to assist families during this time. I hope that you will fi nd this useful!

Children fi nd the holiday season to be stressful, as do adults. Helping children to cope with stress will also be benefi cial to maintaining good health. First, try to keep your child in their normal routine! Attending school is a must unless the child is ill. For afterschool hours and weekends, let your child know ahead of time what events will be happening. Children are able to transition happily from one place to another if they have some idea of what is going to happen and where they may be going. Try to plan for breaks if you have several activities in one day, including time for naps for little ones.

Many children need some quiet time with their parents to help with the holiday stress. Taking time to read a book together or to watch a favorite holiday program may give your child the energy for the next busy activity! Next, The Parent Institute article men-tions that sweet treats in small doses will also help children from bouts of hyperactivity and upset stomachs.

Enjoy this beautiful holiday season! I hope to see you at HCS for the wonderful, winter magic that our children share at their concerts!

In Education,

Laurie EdmonstonPrincipal

Dear District Residents,

On Friday, October 27, 18 students in grades 8 through 12 were inducted into the Junior Scholarship Society. The criteria for acceptance involve both academic and good citizenship standards. These students have shown that they meet the challenge in both areas. As I congratu-lated them for their hard work, I reminded the students that a good share of credit goes to those who have supported them along the way—their parents and other family members.

The infl uence of “home atmosphere” on student success is vitally important. Parents, no matter where they live, what they work at or the size and shape of their house, can create a home atmosphere that fosters learning by reading to their chil-dren, helping them with their homework, encouraging them to go to college, and taking them to the library and other events and places that give them the opportunity to talk and discuss a variety of topics.

Parents who wish to build this type of atmosphere usually start when their children are very young, before entering Kindergarten or Pre-K. It’s never too late to begin the discussion, however, by including the sharing of high expectations regarding learning, frequent and on-going talk about schoolwork and what goes on in a child’s school life, encouragement and supervision of homework, reading time, and the limitation of excessive hours spent watching television or leisure computer use. It’s no small challenge in this day and age when we all have a thousand other things to do, but the payoffs are enormous!

As I shared with those students being inducted that Friday, they are the recipi-ents of many gifts, mostly from their par-ents such as those noted above, and they cannot be measured. They can, though, be given back in the form of service to others: to siblings, other students in school who need a helping hand, and as they grow older and their obligations as good citizens

increase, to members of the communities they live in.

In this holiday season, we celebrate gifts in many forms. The material ones are always appreciated, but the non-mate-rial ones such as a supportive and loving family, good education, and gratitude for friends and community can be treasured the most.

To all Hinsdale students, staff, family


This year, Hinsdale Central students and staff celebrated Homecom-ing with many wonderful activities, culminating with an amazing dance on Saturday, October 14. Spirit Week consisted of days where students were asked to dress wacky and show school spirit by wear-ing their blue and white. Halls were decorated and judged, with the 10th grad-ers coming out on top. An assembly run by Mrs. Fair and the Pep Club included games, recognition of fall sports teams and announce-ment of the Homecoming Court. All sporting events had great attendance and the dance set-up committee worked hard all day to pull off “An Evening in Paris.”

We’ve got spirit ... We’ve got spirit ... how ‘bout you?how ‘bout you?

Parachute playtime


On October 13, Joanne McAn-drew, Director of the Literacy Volunteers of Cattaraugus County, visited the fi fth and sixth grade Friday Fun Day. She came to share information and accept the donation of $100 that the students raised dur-ing their sundae sale during Open House.

The students learned about the many dedicated individuals who help to increase literacy in Cat-taraugus County by volunteering their time to assist adults in learning to become better readers. Students also learned that they might have an opportunity to serve their communi-ty by becoming a student peer tutor.

If you would like to learn more about how you could help this worthwhile organization, contact them at (716) 372-8627.

By Phyllis Schibler,Committee Chairperson

We had lots of rain but thankfully no snow for the annual Trunk & Treat Party on October 31. We had 23 trunks at our party includ-ing many new trunks, but missed our friends from years’ past. Some of our friends even decorated their vehicles, which helped to keep us in good spirits. We thank every-one who participated in this part of our program.

The costume party was a great hit, and we heard the kids were asking if we will do it again next year. We would like to thank the kids who hang out on Main Street for their input and this great idea. You did good, gang! The winners of the costume dance were: Anthony Olick, grade 12, for the boys, and Sam Cros-son, grade 9, for the girls. They each received two tickets for the theater.

The coloring contest was held for those from kindergarten through 4th grade. The judges - Mrs. Wick, a student, and a mom - had a hard time deciding the winners, but the follow-ing were selected: kindergarten – Paul

Adams, fi rst grade – Evan Weaver, second grade – Darrin Rios, third grade – Dominique Whittaker, and fourth grade – Aiko Cordova. They all received a $5 gift certifi cate from

K-mart. We are sorry we couldn’t reach all the parents due to lack

of correct phone numbers.We had a “Bite the

Doughnut Game” that seemed to go over well, and all the children enjoyed the bean bag contest. The winner was Robert Franz who also got

a $5 gift card from K-mart.We want to thank all who

participated in this great event. A special thanks to our school Superintendent,

Mrs. McCarthy, for her sup-port and hosting the punch

bowl.We want to also thank those

who lent a helping hand so everything went off without a hitch.

A special thanks to the Hinsdale Heritage Days Festival

committee for all their help and giv-ing the fi nancial assistance to make a wonderful evening. Again, thanks to all who supported us. The committee people went home with wet clothes but warm hearts.

Have you called the local Girl Scout Council at 1-800-373-3295 to get on board with upcoming adventures like Snow Camp, a Mystery Dinner, Surprise Programs, and White Water Rafting? This does not even include all the fun things girls right in your school are doing. Girls ages 5-17 can register at anytime of the year to be a Girl Scout and there is no better time then to call right now! You can also check out our website at www.gsswny.org for more information on the above programs. In Girl Scouts, you have the opportunity to share what you would like to do and help become a leader in your community. The Girl Scout Cookie Sale is right around the corner too! Gather your friends and give us a call!

• Feeling ill in the morning• Making excuses not to go to school• Change in his route to school• Not wanting to ride the bus• Refusing to talk about their day in school• Drop in school performance• Unexplained bruises• Constantly changing friends• Coming home with torn clothes and damaged property• Unexplained crying • Needing extra lunch money• Lack of confi dence• Change in behavior towards friends and siblings – becoming more violent and becoming a bully themselves

Starting the second week of November, Mr. Cuddy and his intern Jeanine Feldbauer will be visiting the seventh and eighth grade AAA classes. They will be discussing “Bullying” and exploring some strategies on how to handle it if you feel you are being bullied, if you witness someone being bullied, or perhaps if you feel you are a bully yourself. They will be using video clips from the united streaming video, and group/class discussion.

This will be the fi rst installment in a three-part series on bullying. If you have any questions or concerns about “Bully-ing,” please contact either Mrs. Wilson, elementary guidance counselor, or Mr. Cuddy, secondary guidance counselor.

1. Talk to your parents or an adult you can trust, such as a teacher, school counselor, or principal. Many teens who are targets of bullies do not talk to adults because they feel embarrassed, ashamed, or fearful, and they believe they should be able to handle the problem on their own. Others believe that involving adults will only make the situation worse. While in some cases it is possible to end bullying without adult intervention, in other more extreme cases, it is necessary to involve school offi cials and even law enforcement. Talk to a trusted adult who can help you develop a plan to end the bullying and provide you with the support you need. If the fi rst adult you approach is not receptive, fi nd another adult who will support and help you.

2. It’s not useful to blame yourself for a bully’s actions. You can do a few things, however, that may help if a bully begins to harass you. Do not retaliate against a bully or let the bully see how much he or she has upset you. If bullies know they are getting to you, they are likely to torment you more. If at all possible, stay calm and respond evenly and fi rmly or else say nothing and walk away. Sometimes you can make a joke, use humor to defuse a situation.

3. Act confi dent. Hold your head up, stand up straight, make eye contact, and walk confi dently. A bully will be less likely to single you out if your project self-confi -dence.

4. Try to make friends with other students. A bully is more likely to leave you alone if you are with your friends. This is especially true if you and your friends stick up for each other.

5. Avoid situations where bullying can happen. If at all possible, avoid being alone with bullies. If bullying occurs on the way to or from school, you may want to take a different route, leave at a different time, or fi nd others to walk to and from school with. If bullying occurs at school, avoid areas that are isolated or unsupervised by adults, and stick with friends as much as possible.

6. If necessary, take steps to rebuild your self-confi dence. Bullying can affect your self-confi dence and belief in yourself. Finding activities you enjoy and are good at can help to restore your self-esteem. Take time to explore new interests and develop new talents and skills. Bullying can also leave you feeling rejected, isolated, and alone. It is important to try to make new friendships with people who share your interests. Consider participating in extra-curricular activities or joining a group outside of school, such as an after-school program, church youth group, or sports team.

Verbal: name-calling, threatening, teasing, taunting

Physical: hitting, taking or damaging possessions, making someone do things he/she would not ordinarily do, pushing and shoving.

Emotional: spreading rumors, ignor-ing or excluding others, making someone uncomfortable or scared

6th grade students in Mrs. Sliger’s social studies classes created their own form of cave art. While studying about ancient cave paintings, the students saw a photo of The Cave of the Hands located in the Province of Santa Cruz in Argentina. This ancient art was created as early as 9,000 years ago. It contains over 890 images of human hands. The 6th graders used images of their own hands and layered paint to replicate the cave art. Then the students compiled a list of ideas that the ancient painting might have been communicating.

Parenting Speaker WantedMrs. Detweiler’s high school parenting

class is looking for a mother/father of a 3-4 month old who would be willing to be a guest speaker with their child for her class. The class meets period 6 from 12:40-1:25. If interested please contact her at 557-2227 ext 270.

Mornings can be really crazy! The alarm doesn’t go off, the kids don’t want to get up,

there’s no time to eat breakfast before the bus comes or they’re just not ready to eat. Or maybe your teenager to grabs a can of soda and a candy bar on the way to school. If this sounds like your house, we have good news for you.

Breakfast is available at school! Take advantage of this option to ensure your child eats a nutritious breakfast. Recent studies show a link between nutrition and learning. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can actively participate in class. Breakfast has vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body. Breakfast at school is affordable, too. A full breakfast costs less than convenience store items. If you qualify for free and reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. If you must pay, you’ll fi nd that breakfast costs seventy-fi ve cents. Nowhere else will you fi nd a balanced breakfast at such a low cost. So take advantage of this opportunity to start the day on the right foot. Your child will fi nd breakfast at school provides not only a nutritious meal but also a relaxed atmosphere for socializing with friends and siblings.

Here are fi ve good reasons to send your child: 1. It’s easy: instead of running around in the morning trying to make sure your children are eating a nutritious meal, why not just leave it to us? They’ll get a

great breakfast and have time to hang out with friends before classes begin. Also, no dishes for you to wash.

2. It’s inexpensive. 3. It’s tasty. There are so many choices. Go ahead and see for yourself. New menus

are available every month. 4. It makes them smarter: According to the Tufts University School of Nutrition

Science and Policy, “Children who participated in the School Breakfast Program had signifi cantly higher standardized achievement scores than eligible

non-participants.” 5. It makes them healthier: Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital

found that students who ate School Breakfast reduced hyperactivity, decreased absence and tardy rates, and improved behavior.

Did you know that St. Bonaventure University’s School of Education offers an outpatient counseling clinic? The clinic, which opened in 2004, offers academic, behavioral, and mental health services to children, their families, and adults in the community. The three main areas ad-dressed by the clinic are:

• Academic Support – This individual or group counseling focuses on youth with academic diffi culties, and who may need assistance with motivation, organization and study habits.

• Parenting – Parenting skills training is the focus of this group. It is designed for parents whose children are coping with attention defi cit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), oppositional defi ant disorder (ODD), bipolar disorders, general dis-

cipline problems, or any other conduct disorders. This service will be provided to the parents who need assistance and sup-port with behavior management.

• Mental Health – Group and individ-ual counseling is offered for a wide variety of mental health concerns, including but not limited to: child abuse intervention, childhood obesity intervention or preven-tion, and special education assistance for psychological issues.

All clinical services are provided by graduate students seeking a master’s degree, supervised by a licensed psycholo-gist or nationally certifi ed doctoral-level clinical counselor. A fee of $100 cov-ers all services offered during any given semester, but no one has been turned away due to inability to pay.

To schedule an appointment, call the clinic at 716-373-7670.

The Hinsdale Alumni Association dedicated a “Wall of Honor” at Hinsdale Central School, on Saturday, Nov 11. Norton Chambers American Legion Post #1434 assisted in the presentation which consists of memorials to honor HCS alumni who were killed in service: Roy Norton, Lee Chambers (1934), Keith Chambers (1937), Andy Crawford (1966), Bernard Shattuck (1966), and Michael Clute (1967).

Thanks go out to Michelle DeRitter, HCS Alumni member, who coordinated the effort. Housed in the foyer of the school, community members and guests are invited to stop by and view the plaques which contain pictures of the service alumni.

Contributions are still being accepted for the memorial. Donations specifying “Veteran’s Memorial” may be sent to Ann Carr, Treasurer for the HCS Alumni Associa-tion, 2660 Button Rd. Hinsdale, NY 14743.

Pictured at the dedication are (l-r) Captain Todd DiCaprio, 2nd Vice Commander Steve Stimpson, Commander Dan Zawatski, Al Chambers, Chaplain Harry Davis and Glen Chambers.
