LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - OCTOBER 30, 2016
by Kim Cox
Superintendent of Schools
It’s been a very busy fall so
far, with lots of exciting things
happening.
I’ll begin with an update on the
R.I.T.E. Project. Over the course
of the past month, we saw the
completion of Hartwood Park,
the Jr.-Sr. High School Library/
Media Center, Gymnasium, Stu-
dent Commons, Cafeteria, and
Wolcott Street School Kitchen.
All areas need a few punch list
items completed, but are up and
open for business.
Classrooms in the Wolcott
Street and Trigon buildings
continue to receive facelifts in-
cluding new flooring, paint, and
lighting. This work continues
on the second shift and will near
completion in the early spring.
The big push now is the construc-
tion of the new Library/Media
Center at the Wolcott Street
School. The space is opened up
and naturally there are some
structural surprises in 100 year
old buildings. These are being
addressed and the plan is to have
the library open towards the end
of January or the beginning of
February. The construction of the
new gymnasium in the Wolcott
Street School continues to prog-
ress on track.
The District’s sports teams are
completing their fall seasons.
Most teams have finished regular
season play. The Volleyball Team
and Fall Cheerleading are still
in sectional play. Cheerleading
Superintendent ’ Column
s
competes this Saturday, October
29th, at 10:00 am at RIT, while
Volleyball plays at 6:00 pm at
Le Roy.
Along with athletics, the Mu-
sic Department has been very
active this season. Marching
Band competes in its final show
on Sunday, October 30th, at the
Dome at Syracuse University.
This is always a great event with
bands from across the state. The
Le Roy Marching Knights take
the field at 11:00 am. Wish them
luck! Also, save the date, for the
6th Grade Musical, “
Mulan Jr.
”.
This show will be held at the
Jr.-Sr. High School Auditorium
at 7:00 pm on November 10th.
Please bring a canned good for
donation to the Food Pantry.
Class up the Community is

need work done around your
home, please contact Mrs. Lowe,

appreciated if they could be
brought to the Jr. Sr. High School
Office. Please, no rakes on school
buses.
Enjoy a nice fall weekend and
Happy Halloween!
Love Bugs Pumpkin Fun
The Pre-K class at Love Bugs Preschool learned all about
pumpkins this week. The childrenmeasured, weighed and
washed pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. They cleaned
out the inside of the pumpkin and even tried some seeds.
Happy Fall to all.
Batavia Ramparts
Pee Wee III Team
On Saturday, October 8th
the Batavia Ramparts Pee Wee
III team, sponsored by Baltz
Concrete, traveled to scenic
Niagara Falls USA to take on
the Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles
at Dwyer Arena at Niagara
College. The Jr. Purple Eagles
came out fast and strong scoring
3 goals early in the first period.
The Ramparts trailed 7-0 after
2 periods. Even though the
Rampa r ts began to stage a
comeback scoring the only goals
in the 3rd period, they ended up
taking a 7-2 loss. Nate Tilley of
Batavia scored both goals with
one assist by Alex Bartz, also
of Batavia.
On Sunday, October 9th
the Rampa r ts Pee Wee I I I
traveled to Olean to take on the
Olean Arrows. It was an evenly
matched game with a score of
0-0 until late in the 2nd period
with a goal net by the Arrows.
Rampa r ts came out st rong
and quickly in the 3rd period
with an unassisted goal by
Andrew Kasmarek of Stafford
evening up the score to a 1-1
tie. Kasmarek also netted the
go-ahead score, assisted by Zack
Eschberger of LeRoy. Noah
Hudson of Pavilion extended
Batavia's lead to 3-1 with goal
assisted by Tilley. The Olean
Arrows scored again at the 6
minute mark to bring the game
to a close 3-2 score. With under
2 minutes left the Arrows pulled
their goalie in a last ditch effort
to tie up the game...Kasmarek

net and scored to cap the game
with a 4-2 win and earn himself
his first hat trick of the season.
