Attention Portville graduates...Mr. Piatt has put together an awesome history of 50 years of Ecology Camp, but has no record of who all the counselors were in 1977! He knows Lisa Beck, Nancy Geary and Liz Wormer, but has no record of the others. The sixth graders at camp that year would have been the Class of 1983. So if you graduated in '83 and can remember who your counselor was, call Coralie at 933-7140. If you graduated in 1977 and remember who your senior counselor was, call Coralie! Share this and spread the word!

Check out this great article from the Olean Times Herald highlighting Portville students doing great things!
Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES students place at regional SkillsUSA, look ahead to state competition
By TOM DINKI, Olean Times Herald
OLEAN — Tommy Hall searched a room for evidence in front of a New York State Police trooper. Meagan Ruggles’ nail styling was judged by actual salon professionals. Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES students like Hall and Ruggles placed in several categories at the regional SkillsUSA competition earlier this month and can move on to the state competition next month. If they perform well at the state-level competition April 24-26 in Syracuse, they could earn a spot at the SkillsUSA Championships, which is held in June in Louisville, K.Y., and involves more than 6,500 contestants in 103 separate career and technical education events. “I think it’s an overall learning experience being able to go out there and to compete against other peer members, dealing with and getting to know people that are associated with you in the same field,” said CA BOCES criminal justice instructor Todd McLaughlin Tuesday at CA BOCES’ Olean Career and Technical Education Center. “And you never know when you’re going to run into those troopers. They might be your partner somewhere down the line. Same thing with cosmetology, maybe they’re going to work at their salons.” “So it’s an opportunity to get your name out there,” he added.
The regional competition held March 5 at Alfred State College, the 30th annual SkillsUSA Region I Leadership Conference and Skills Olympics, involved more than 950 high school students from Region I BOCES districts, including CA BOCES. Students were tested on the skills they’ve learned in their specific CTE programs, as well as the soft skills like job interviews.
For Hall, a Portville Central School senior taking criminal justice classes at CA BOCES’ Olean campus, his competition involved fingerprinting and conducting a room search. He had to point out the key pieces of evidence in a faux crime scene, including fake drugs. “At first, everything is overwhelming,” said Hall, who placed second in the criminal justice division, “but once you slow down and just do what you were taught, it’s really kind of simple.” One of the major benefits for Hall was hearing feedback from state police. “Anything that they think I should have done better, they would tell me, they would show me,” he said, “and it just made me better all around.”
Ruggles, a Portville Central School senior in the cosmetology program on the CA BOCES Olean campus, placed first in the nail technician division. She was aided by Hailey Stout, a fellow Portville senior and CA BOCES cosmetology student, who served as the hand model. Ruggles had an allotted amount of time to complete Stout’s nails, which included filing, acrylic application, French tip design, as well as painting a design with an Emoji theme. While she’s become skilled at nails, Ruggles originally wanted to focus on hair. “Now that I’ve gotten into the program, I really like all of it. I have a lot of people ask me, ‘What’s your favorite part?’ I don’t have a favorite part. I really enjoy all of it,” she said. “I think it’s a really good career because I can do what I want to do and have fun with it — not do something that is boring to me.” She and Hall said they’re grateful they can prepare for their future careers while still in high school due to BOCES. “BOCES has definitely given me a lot, especially because we can get our license right after this,” Ruggles said. “We don’t need further college for it. We can start our careers sooner, doing what we want.”

What a great night of basketball for a worthy cause! Twenty-eight alumni from 1976-2018 played in the 5th Annual Alumni Game tonight at the PCS gym!

Proceeds from the player entry fees, spectators, 50/50 raffle, concession stand and halftime foul shooting/half court shot competition all go to help defray costs of Portville’s own Bobby George and Marcia (Schott) Wray as they battle cancer. THANK YOU to all who came out and played, watched, or volunteered tonight to make it an awesome event! PCS — Pride Creates Success...Success Creates Pride!

The students in Mrs. Enos’s 6th grade ELA class were given the question, What is one subject currently not being taught in school that you would love to see added? Why? Quite a few of the
students stated that they wish they had a sign language class for beginners. Nik Carapellatti, a former PCS graduate, has been attending Gallaudet University at Washington, DC majoring in English/ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation. He has one more semester left and then he is hoping to achieve a job at Disney in Florida.
When Mrs. Enos approached him to see if he would be willing to come in to class and teach the students a few signings, he said yes right away without even hesitating. The students were very excited! They learned the alphabet, colors, rooms of the house, and other important words for signing. We are hoping that Nik will come back again for another day for part II of their learning.
Thanks Nik for inspiring the students to yet another career that is possible for them!
