Parkdale had a very special visitor today! 🐾📚
Aurora, our amazing therapy dog, joined Mrs. Marco during reading time. Students read stories to her, enjoyed some snuggles, and loved getting to pet and play with her.

Thank you, Aurora, for bringing so much joy and calm to our school community! 💙

📚🏛 East Aurora Students Shine at State Latin Competition!

This past Saturday, students from East Aurora Middle and High School participated in the New York State Junior Classical League Annual Fall Fest Certamen—a Latin competition held at Amherst High School.

Our students competed against a dozen schools from across the state, from nearby Orchard Park to as far as Pittsford Mendon, Skaneateles, and New Hartford.

We’re so proud of our participants for representing East Aurora with knowledge, enthusiasm, and great team spirit! 🌿⚔️

Congratulations to these fine students!

🎃👻 Phishing scams are scary! Thankfully, East Aurora has some sharp eyes on our side.

This Halloween, we’re giving a shoutout to Mr. Grisanti, who’s at the top of our leaderboard for phishing training! 🏆 He’s spotted the most fake emails and helped keep our district’s information safe.

Way to go, Mr. Grisanti — proving that not all spooky surprises are worth opening! 💻🔒

For the last few weeks, 8th-grade Technology have been working through the design process on their Halloween Slat Project! They demonstrated awesome hands-on skills in designing, cutting, sanding, and assembling their festive creations.

But the real treat? The students produced 200 extra projects and shared them as gifts with teachers, administrators, and staff across the entire district. Watching our students realize the impact of their hard work and the joy of giving was the perfect, rewarding end to this assignment.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

🎃 Are you ready for Halloween? Our Middle School Technology class is! 👻

Students have been busy designing and building their own wooden Halloween decorations — from concept to final creation. They start with detailed sketches and measurements on paper, then bring their ideas to life using band saws and sanders to cut, shape, and smooth their designs.

Along the way, they’re gaining real-world skills in design thinking, precision measurement, tool safety, and problem solving — all while adding a little spooky spirit to the classroom!
