What does Angela Williams' colleagues have to say about Angela? "Angela is always willing to jump in and help when needed. She takes initiative without being asked and is always welcoming and affirming students and co-workers. She is a huge asset to the HCSD." Great work!
High School students had a friendly competition of rock, paper, scissors last Friday during lunch. Participants each received a penny during round one. The winners of that round got the other person’s penny and so on. The person who ended up with the most pennies (and therefore won the most rounds) was the winner! Winners received candy and Cadet swag as prizes. Principal Dr. Jeff Green led the game, along with a karaoke competition earlier this year, as a way to make lunchtime fun and welcoming for students.
Three cheers for the Hilton Varsity Cheerleading team on winning the Section V Class A championship on Saturday! The Cadets will compete in the NYSPHSAA Championship Tournament on March 2 at Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton. #GoCadets

Here's why colleagues love Kayla Reese: "Kayla is constantly checking in on her students' needs and adjusting her day to help them to be at their best. She has created daily check-ins, an affirmation station, and has quiet calm spaces in her classroom for students to work when they need a break. Not only is Kayla welcoming and affirming to her students, but also to her colleagues. She touches base daily to see if there is any way she can help out with anything. Working with Kayla is always a blast!" Way to go!

Erin McBride’s kindergarten class at Northwood knows a thing or two about Australia! On Friday, they celebrated Australia Day by performing Australian songs for family and friends and listening to well wishes from many of the people their teacher knows from her six years teaching in Australia and one year teaching in New Zealand.
McBride lived all over Australia working as a substitute teacher and even making sausages on a pig farm! She then moved to New Zealand for a year where she taught grades 7 and 8. She returned to Melbourne just as the pandemic started and began online tutoring. As much as she loved living “down under,” McBride said she missed her family and decided to move back to Rochester. This is her first year teaching at Northwood.
After their performance, the students returned to their classroom with their family members where they colored Australian animal pictures, tasted vegemite, and took photos in front of the many beautiful pictures of Australia and New Zealand that decorate their classroom.
