The 9th Grade class recently visited the Indian Lake meal site with their advisor Miss. Walker and had a fun time with the seniors creating watercolor paintings of their names. This was a great time for our students to interact with the community and provide an hour of artistic creativity to fit in with our monthly theme of 'Responsibility'.

Our 4th and 5th grade students had the opportunity to attend a Civil War reenactment, where they experienced history come to life through interactive demonstrations, period costumes, and hands-on learning activities that deepened their understanding of this pivotal time in American history.

Attention 🚨
Marching reminder: 2025
Dear Parents/Guardians:
This year’s parade will be held in Indian Lake! Please make sure your children arrive at the school by 11:45 to get shirts and other needed supplies. We will then warm up and run through our songs with Long Lake just after 12:00 and head down to Bennett Rd. for the 1:00 parade start time.
The parade will follow Main St. to the Legion where there will be a ceremony and refreshment following. Children can then return their instruments back to the school.
The school will provide black shirts for the kids to wear, but they are responsible for black bottoms and shoes. No sandals please as they can become a tripping hazard.
Thank you.
Jason Dora

Congratulations to Anthony Feller who secured a three year seat on the ILCS Board of Education.
Thank you to all community members who participated in the recent school budget vote. While the proposed budget was not approved, we appreciate your engagement and the continued support you show for our students and staff.
We are now working on a revised budget that reflects community feedback while continuing to support the needs of our school. Our goal is to present a new proposal that is fiscally responsible and educationally sound.
More information will be shared in the coming days, including details about the revised budget and the next vote.
Congratulations to Austin Bruso!
Austin was honored at the Adirondack Area School Boards Association (AASBA) Annual Dinner on May 15, 2025, at The Queensbury Hotel, where 31 outstanding students from across the region received the Community Service Award. This recognition celebrates students who demonstrate a strong commitment to volunteerism and giving back to their schools and communities. Austin’s dedication to service and leadership is a shining example of the positive impact young people can have. The event emphasized the value of community involvement and the importance of nurturing a spirit of service in our youth.
This is a friendly reminder that TODAY, Monday, May 19th is Rally for Callie Day! A special opportunity for our entire school community to come together in support of Callie and her courageous fight.
Rain, rain, stay away! Our Orange athletes want to play!
The modified golf match & the modified flag football game scheduled for today have been canceled & will be rescheduled at a later date!
In a hands-on project, students in first period Algebra 1 applied their understanding of linear regression to predict the optimal length of a bungee cord that ensures a safe and thrilling jump. By conducting experiments and analyzing data, they explored the relationship between the number of rubber bands (representing the cord's length) and the distance fallen by a doll, simulating a bungee jumper. Through this process, students gathered data and used linear regression to determine the equation of best fit. This equation allows them to estimate the required number of rubber bands for a specific fall distance. To ensure safety, students consider factors such as the jumper's height, the cord's elasticity, and the desired fall distance, adjusting their predictions accordingly. This project not only reinforces concepts of linear regression but also emphasizes the importance of data analysis and safety considerations in real-world applications. All three groups had successful "jumps"!
