This spring, students across the district participated in a range of performances that highlighted creativity, collaboration, and student voice. Ithaca High School presented 9 to 5; Lehman Alternative Community School shared the original climate-focused performance Above, Below, In, and of Cayuga's Waters, written by Annemarie Zwack in collaboration with LACS students; DeWitt Middle School performed My Fellow Students; and Boynton Middle School brought No Substitutes to the stage.

Last week, Caroline fourth graders released the trout they raised in their classroom into Six Mile Creek! 🐟

As part of the Trout in the Classroom program, students across our elementary schools participate in this meaningful hands-on learning experience, caring for trout from fall through spring while building connections to science, ecosystems, and environmental stewardship.

Thank you to the 4th grade teams and our partners at for helping create learning experiences that bring classroom lessons to life.
