Today we celebrate Hilton graduates Will Caruso and Lucas Edsall, and Michael Coval and Alyssa Almekinder, who are working as machine operators at Sydor Optics and attending MCC majoring in optics. The grads took the Introduction to Optical Technology course at Hilton High School, which opened the door to this exciting field. Hilton High School also offers career fairs where students can get introduced to optics companies and then take advantage of job shadowing opportunities. Once hired, they may even be able to get their college courses paid for. Ann Marie Graham, Sydor Human Resources manager, said that the Hilton grads they have hired have a good work ethic. We are proud of our grads!

Seventh grade FaCS classes are setting their table for success! Teacher Claire Drexler took to heart Superintendent Dr. Casey Kosiorek’s Opening Day message about building an organizational culture that puts people first and provides a sense of safety and belonging. Together with FaCS teachers Anna Murrer and Megan Peterson, they created a “table” across several bulletin boards outside of their classrooms and had students write their recipes for success on paper plates. “Incorporating the recipe idea supports our health sciences curriculum and goal setting,” said Drexler. “These students are our family and we want our classrooms to be their comfort zone where they feel a sense of belonging.” Shown are (l-r) Cole Lenzi, Claire Drexler, Henrey Hunsinger, Ayden Jones, Evan Smith, Special Education Teacher Jamie Melos, and Megan Peterson.

The Ride for Missing Children made a special stop today during their annual Rochester ride – QUEST Elementary! Students lined the sidewalk holding signs with encouraging messages and cheered LOUDLY as the cyclists passed by. What started as a small group of bicyclists that hoped to raise awareness for the plight of one missing child has grown into the biggest annual fundraiser for The National Center For Missing & Exploited Children.

Hilton CSD joins the digital commemoration #RemembertheSky as we mark the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. This digital commemoration is inspired by the clear blue sky that was present in New York City & across the country on 9/11, as well as by Spencer Finch’s art installation in the 9/11 Memorial Museum. His artwork, “Trying to Remember the Color of the Sky on That September Morning,” is comprised of 2,983 watercolors — each a unique shade of blue — a tribute to the enormity of collective loss and the individuality of each of those who were taken from us far too soon. #neverforget911
