Students Prepare for Regents Exams Preparation is the key when it comes to success-
ful completion of courses for the school
year. Not only have students worked with their
teachers all year long to prepare for Regents but
they are also making every minute count as they
study with their teachers. Teachers are providing
extra review classes for students to work hard in
preparing for the exams. On Tuesday, June 17th
forty two students arrived several hours before
the exam to make sure that they use every minute
to prepare. Hard work leads to success! We are
very proud of our students for their efforts. ABOVE: Judy Johnson-Huth facilitates review with dedicated Living Envi-

On Friday, June 6th the Fifth grade team presented a Curricu-
lum Fair for parents and students. One component of this fair
was a Rube Goldberg style science fair held in Mrs. T. Morse’s
room. Students worked with peers, families, and community
members in teams outside of the school day to create projects
which highlighted simple machines covered in their FOSS Lev-
ers and Pulleys module. The teams created amazing projects
which everyone in attendance loved. A voting station collected
everyone’s votes and the winners were revealed at an award
ceremony on June 9th. Third place was given to Daniel Wind-
nagle and Brody Hunt for their “Tea Maker” which made green
tea using a lever and inclined plane. In second place, Marlaina
Plumley and Amaya Stratton-Stephens for their “Egg Cracker”
which used a screw, many inclined planes, and wedges to
crack open plastic eggs filled with M & Ms. In first place was
team Golden Volcano which included Mikey Benjamin, Ben
Bouton, and Marshall Harding. This amazing masterpiece in-
cluded levers, pulleys, inclined planes, and a wheel and axle, which culminated in a chemical reaction causing a volcano to erupt. We
are so very proud of all the hard work every team put into the projects; you rock!

Addison Central School District Graduation Friday, June 27th
7 p.m. It is imperative that all students attending the event fol-low all school polices, and refrain from any alcohol or drug use, before and after the graduation. We look for-ward to an exciting evening full of wonderful, yet safe, memories. Below, please find some helpful suggestions for making this year’s graduation a night of positive and happy memories!
Safety Tips for Parents and Guardians The Talk - Tell your teens that you want them to have a wonderful, memorable graduation. Keep that wish as a central focus. They need to give you their complete itin-erary for the evening, including whom they will be with, where they'll be going after graduation and the phone numbers where you can contact them. "We'll just be driv-ing around" is not an acceptable response. Come to a fair decision on a curfew, based upon your teens' past level of responsibility in this area. Express your concerns about their health and safety and explain to them why gradua-tion night makes it more difficult to make safe and smart decisions. Don't be vague—discuss drinking, drugging, driving under the influence, and sex. Ask them how they plan to keep safe and avoid actions they will re-gret. Reinforce your belief in their character and in their ability to act responsibly. The Ride - If they're not driving themselves, you must know who will be driving them. Regardless of how many times you have talked about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, emphasize that these dangers are particularly high on graduation night. Your teens cannot drink or take drugs and drive. They also must be driven by someone who has not been drinking al-cohol or taken any drugs. You need their promise on these rules. These rules are non-negotiable. The Connection - If your teens are not returning home right after graduation, you need to be able to contact them at all times until they return home. You also need to be reachable at all times as well. There can be no doubt where your kids will be and with whom throughout the evening and morning. If they're going to other kids' houses after graduation, check ahead of time with their parents. You also have a right and a responsibility to ask if these parents are going to allow drinking in their homes; which is very much illegal. Many parents believe that as long as they "take keys" in a situation like this that underage drinking is permissible in their houses. You must answer the question, "Do I want my kids at gradua-tion parties where parents aren't present?" After gradua-tion, parent-child check-in calls make sense. Establish a couple of mandatory call-in times with your kids. You might consider giving cell phones to your kids for the evening, thereby establishing a guaranteed connection. The Offer - Give your teens the unconditional option of calling you at any time for help or advice. That includes picking them up at any time of day or night, with a prom-ise not to shame or humiliate them in front of oth-ers. Assure them that you always welcome being part of their making smart and safe decisions. **The Addison Central School District website also has an anonymous tip line for anyone needing to notify the dis-trict of illegal or dangerous activities.** With graduation season upon us, we are approaching a fun and exciting time for students and their families. We would like to remind our families to do all that they can to make it a happy and safe time for our teens. Parents—please talk with your teens about making safe and wise choices, so that graduation night will be one of many wonderful memories, not regrettable memories. Please be aware of graduation events and parties that might pro-mote drinking. Ultimately, we have one goal in mind:
keeping our teens safe. We do not want to diminish the fun of the evening or make it harder to celebrate; we just want everyone safe.
