Thank you to our Board of Education for supporting the students, staff and families of the Keshequa School District!
In science, the fifth grade students have been studying deer overpopulation and the delicate balance of ecosystems. In order to extend their understanding of forest ecology and apply the knowledge they have recently developed, we traveled to Letchworth State Park and the Humphrey Nature Center. While participating in a walking tour led by a Humphrey Nature Center employee, students learned about various tree species and shrubs that serve as habitat to the animals native to our area. Students also discussed the migration of some species of birds and the adaptation some animals make to survive New York’s winter. The trip included a visit to the interior of the center and the taxidermied displays. What a great way to tie the classroom to our environment!
Congrats to all Keshequa fall varsity sports teams earning NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete Status (Girls and Boys Volleyball, Girls and Boys Soccer, Girls and Boys Cross Country)

Good Afternoon,
We became aware of a situation today involving a student that had made a threat. The District immediately implemented the District Safety Plan. We worked alongside law enforcement and safety experts today and it was determined that there was no credible threat to the school and its students. A letter to families can be found in the News Section of our website.
Today, grades 9-12 had a variety of wellness activities that they could select to participate in while the 7th and 8th graders did a lesson from Character Strong. Students could choose to take a nature walk, make fruit pizza or fruit smoothies, play board games, participate in soccer or dodgeball, learn about music and sleeping, gaming and an art activity. In addition, one of our teachers, Madison Bugman, spent part of the summer in India and taught students games from India. It was great that the weather cooperated and our students were energized for their afternoon classes.
Congrats to our 4 seniors celebrating senior night at our boys soccer game!
