We hope you will consider donating to help us with our annual event showing families can help other families in need. Clarence Soccer Boosters has encouraged us to get involved with Kevin Guest House to learn more about giving back but also to host families from the elementary & middle school levels to enjoy a family fun event at our campus.
A Clarence Central Schools Soccer Program led event aims to encourage our students, players, coaches, and families to unify for the entire school district community and fundraise to keep families together during medical crisis and ease the financial hardships they face. We expect to host 200 or more people. Some of us will be fundraising online along with our t-shirt & silicone bracelet sales to raise even more. As high school students/coaches/advisors, we want to lead by example and show our peers that giving back to families in need is a great way to have fun too!
Kevin Guest House serves an average of 2,000 families annually that travel to Buffalo’s renowned medical community for lifesaving treatment. As America’s first healthcare hospitality house, they’ve provided a home away from home for more than 61,000 guests for 50 years. Your support plays a vital role in the success of Kevin Guest House and the continuation of their mission for another 50 years.

Thank you for considering helping our school’s efforts for Kevin Guest House.

During the Bayport-Blue Point School District’s Board of Education meeting on Sept. 13, Cub Scout Troop 130 was recognized by the central administration and the district’s trustees for the gift of five benches placed at each of the elementary schools for the community to enjoy. The benches, a multi-year project, were made from 550 pounds of recycled bottle caps, which were collected by the troop’s 37 scouts. The scouts currently attend Academy Street Elementary, Blue Point Elementary and Sylvan Avenue Elementary schools and received a certificate of appreciation from each of the principals.

Throughout the day on Sept. 9, students from the East Meadow Union Free School District took time to reflect on the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Each school recognized the 21st anniversary of the day with age-appropriate conversations and activities.
At Barnum Woods Elementary School, for example, kindergartners wore red, white and blue and colored an American flag. At the same time, first grade students discussed heroes and how they can show gratitude to those who act heroically in their own community. Meanwhile, fourth grade students created patriotic quilts to demonstrate their respect and appreciation for the country and to honor the heroic action of the nation’s heroes.
At Parkway Elementary School, students in Mrs. Wylie’s fifth grade class conducted a firefighter simulation stair climb to recognize the firefighters who climbed the stairs at the Twin Towers. After completing the challenge, students discussed why it was important for them to complete this symbolic experience in honor of those who rose to service on Sept. 11.
At East Meadow High School, the social studies department crafted lesson plans to teach students about the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and how it changed the world. During the day, teachers led students through the hallway, where the names of all of those who tragically passed were displayed on the walls. Students then visited the school’s 9/11 memorial, consisting of two trees to signify the Twin Towers, as well as a small piece of the World Trade Center. American flags were planted in the memorial and all staff were provided with American flag pins to stand in unity of remembrance.
At W.T. Clarke High School, students and teachers teamed up to create a 9/11 exhibition, which presented the history of Sept. 11, its origins, and its ongoing implications through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. This exhibition included archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Museum’s permanent collection. It explored the consequences of terrorism on individual lives and communities at the local, national and international levels, and encouraged critical thinking about the legacies of 9/11.
