North Main Elementary

Students at North Main Elementary had the honor of welcoming celebrated author and illustrator Angela Dominguez. A New York Times Bestseller, a Sid Fleischman Humor Award winner, and a two-time Pura Belpré Illustration Honoree, Ms. Dominguez captivated students with the story of her journey from Mexico City to North Texas. She shared her experiences learning a new language and encouraged students to explore their own creativity. 📖💜

Out-of-district students will be transported on May 23 if their programs are open. As planned, the school district will be closed on Monday, May 26, in honor of Memorial Day and we will welcome students back to the buildings on Tuesday, May 27. 💜

Members of the MWHS Students Teaching Advocacy and Resilience Skills club (STARS) visited North Main to share important messages with fifth grade students. They talked about making good choices, being a good friend and standing up to bullying. Through interactive activities, STARS students showed our young Crusaders that being kind matters.🤗🌟💜

North Main third graders in Mrs. Gerow’s and Ms. Bennett’s classes recreated an extraordinary model of a Brazilian rainforest. Wrapping up their Social Studies Curriculum on Interdependent Relationships and Ecosystems in Science, students worked together to construct the four different layers of a rainforest. Vibrant illustrations of each layer were broken down into the forest floor, the understory, emergent layer and the canopy. Great job, Crusaders and remember, don’t poke the animals!

REMINDER: Babysitter/childcare transportation requests for the 2025-26 school year must be received by April 1, 2025. Visit the district website www.mw.k12.ny.us to access the online form. Thank you!
