🎯 Archery Success! 🎯
This past Monday, students from Ripley and Chautauqua Lake proudly attended the Global Concept Chapter School National Archery in Schools State qualifying event in Lackawanna, NY.
Fourteen archers competed—many for the very first time—and every single one achieved a personal best score! Even more impressive, five archers qualified for the NASP New York State Championships, which will be held in Syracuse this March.
We couldn’t be prouder of their focus, determination, and hard work.
👏 Great job, archers! 👏

Our Indoor Soccer after-school program has been hard at work this month! ⚽️
Throughout November, students practiced essential soccer fundamentals—dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting—before learning about positions and how to put their skills into action during gameplay.
They worked hard, learned a lot, and most importantly, had fun building teamwork and confidence on the court! 💙✨
