Rise Plattsburgh had a fantastic turnout for our Trunk or Treat! Trick or treaters enjoyed a fun-filled celebration with festive treats and plenty of Halloween spirit. A big thank-you to Chazy Orchards for providing delicious apple c***r and donuts, and to Dyer Farms for sharing mini pumpkins with our students. We appreciate our community partners for helping make this event so special! 🎃

Brain breaks are even more fun when you spell your name! Melissa Gough’s class at our Rise Mineville campus enjoyed a movement activity where each letter of their names matched a different action, from touching their toes to spinning and jumping. Students got to practice spelling, get moving, and have fun while taking a break from their regular classroom activities. What a great way to combine learning and movement!

Adventure was in the air as our Adventure Based Counseling (ABC) students and staff from the Rise Plattsburgh campus took on Whiteface Mountain! The hike gave students an opportunity to challenge themselves, work together, and enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks while building confidence and perseverance along the way.

Middle School ITSP students found a thoughtful way to welcome staff back to school! 🌸 Students used locally grown flowers and recycled containers to create colorful arrangements for classrooms and offices throughout the building.

Once the arrangements were ready, students delivered them personally and shared a friendly welcome-back message with staff. Along the way, they practiced communication, social skills, teamwork, planning, and creativity while connecting with people throughout the school.

This simple project was a wonderful reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We’re proud of our students for using their skills to brighten someone’s day and help create a welcoming school community!

A new school store is bringing a fun and meaningful addition to Rise Mineville this year! 🛍️Over the summer, Marcie Frasier put her creativity and time into developing an incentive-based school store where students can earn rewards for making positive choices and demonstrating behaviors that support a successful learning environment.

The store is part of a larger approach that encourages students to build responsibility, practice self-regulation, show respect, and take pride in their accomplishments. By recognizing positive behavior and celebrating progress, students have opportunities to see that their efforts matter and that growth deserves to be celebrated.

Thank you to Marcie for putting so much thought and effort into creating this special opportunity for our students!

Duken Life Skills students kicked off the school year by giving back to their community! During their first community cleanup, students worked together to collect litter and help keep shared public spaces clean. With gloves, trash bags, and litter grabbers in hand, they put important skills into practice while making a positive difference in their community.

The experience gave students the opportunity to strengthen teamwork, responsibility, communication, safety awareness, and workplace skills in a real-world setting. They also got to see the results of their hard work and experience the pride that comes from making a meaningful contribution.

We’re excited to see where this year of hands-on learning and community involvement takes them!
