Running with the pumpkins at Willink and Spry

4 Nov
Willink runners start their race
Crossing the finish line at Spry

Webster’s Willink and Spry middle schools held their Pumpkin Runs last week, and the results are in.

The one-mile runs are held every year for the schools’ sixth graders, a way to get them outside for some exercise, introduce them to cross-country running, and give them a chance for some friendly house v. house competition.

Eighty-two sixth graders took part in Willink’s Pumpkin Run — the school’s 20th annual — on Wednesday, Oct. 28. And those kids put in some pretty impressive times. Congratulations to Oliver Randisi, who crossed the finish line first with an incredible sub-six minute mile (5:59). Rounding out the top ten were Paxton Ruffo, Freddie Fischer, Wyatt Snook, Ryan Allen, Brett Danforth, Jaxson Guilfoil, Emerson Ganter, Antonii Kucherenko and Kai Faust.

The young athletes weren’t just running for individual honors; they were also representing their respective houses. This year, Blue House runners notched 23 points, earning the Pumpkin Run trophy and bragging rights for the school year. Red House was second with 49 points, and Green House was third with 66 points.

Spry Middle School held its Pumpkin Run the following day, Thursday, Oct. 29. More than 80 sixth graders participated.

Red House captured the trophy and bragging rights for the year, led by race winner Ryan Orman with a time of 5:52. Red House runners dominated the leaderboard, taking five of the top six spots. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Nicholas Harms, Lucas McKenney, Bradley Rounds, Bryce Rudney, Dean Sarkis, Connor O’Reilly, Dean Rounds, Clara Decker and Mae Decker.

Organizers extended special thanks to Holt Road Wegmans, Bowen Family Farm and Sunscape Farm for their donations, as well as the sixth-grade team, PTSA volunteers, and the modified, JV and varsity cross-country teams for their support.

Congratulations to all who participated!

Third graders meet the Webster Public Library

27 Oct

As someone who appreciates the power of words, and how important it is to nurture that appreciation in our younger generation, I just love the Webster Public Library’s annual get-to-know-the-library program for our district’s third graders.

The program, a collaboration between the Webster community and the Webster Public Library (WPL), gives all of our school district’s third graders a jump-start on their love for reading by getting a close-up look at the library and all the services it offers.

The program began several years ago when WPL Outreach Coordinator Jason Poole was talking with Schlegel Elementary School librarian Jamie Palmer. At the time, WPL staff members were visiting the schools for a new books showcase. But Jamie wanted more for students — the actual experience of checking out a book. She and Jason figured out how to make that happen. The resulting program soon turned into a full-fledged field trip with storytime, a craft and a tour, in addition to checking out a book.

Jason continues to schedule the field trips, assisted by Children and Family Experiences Librarian Hannah Baumgartner, who coordinates the activities, lines up staff and serves as school liaison. Last week, the library hosted its first group of the school year, from Plank North Elementary School.

Hannah explained that the students are split into three groups, which file through three different stations, spending 20 minutes at each station before rotating to the next one:

  • Children’s Room: Students get a brief tour of the room and then have time to find and choose a book to check out at the end of the field trip. It’s a chance for the students to see the collections, the space itself, and the children’s reference desk for when they need help.
  • Library Tour: This includes doing a craft in the teen room, visiting the back staff office, and seeing some behind-the-scenes excitement like a book being deposited in the bookdrop (this is always the favorite part of the tour).
  • Storytime: The amusing, interactive storytime helps students associate the Webster Library with something fun and positive.

Once all the groups have rotated through all the stations, they take their chosen books up to the checkout desk to check out. Even that part of the process is well thought out.

Hannah said,

The checkout portion of the trip runs very smoothly thanks in no small part to our Circulation Supervisor, Linda and her staff. They spend the weeks leading up to the field trip getting permission slips from parents, checking on statuses of students with existing cards as well as creating new cards for students who have gotten permission from their guardians. By the time the day of the field trip arrives, the students are set up for a seamless checkout experience.

Since the program began, the Webster Public Library has created or reactivated almost 1,500 library cards for third graders. That goes a long way to help our younger generation fall in love with reading.

Hannah said,

Overall, our goal with this program is to introduce 3rd graders from all seven Webster elementary schools to their local library, the staff, the activities, and the collections that we offer. We want them to have a great time while they’re here so they then go home and tell their families about how much they loved it and ask to come back. We do see a number of kids return on their own time after their classes visit! I love when a kid sees me and says “I saw you at my field trip last week!” followed by a list of their favorite things from their time here.

(Thank you to Jen Calus for the photos!)

Second, the call has gone out for this year’s Oak Tree Award nominations.

The annual Oak Tree Award recognizes excellence in education, celebrating one elementary educator and one secondary educator each school year. Recipients exemplify outstanding performance in their field, an unyielding commitment to their students, and exceptional leadership within the community.

Nominations are open to the entire community. Any Webster resident, district employee, current or former student, parent, teacher, or administrative colleague may nominate a Webster CSD educator for the Elementary or Secondary Oak Tree Award.

Webster Marching Band presents Autumn Fanfare

1 Oct

Get ready for a spectacular evening of sight and sound when our very own Webster Marching Band presents its 40th annual Autumn Fanfare field show and competition on Saturday October 17 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Webster Schroeder High School, 875 Ridge Rd.

Autumn Fanfare is always a spectacular evening of storytelling through music, marching, and even a little bit of acting. There are always huge set pieces involved to move the music-story forward. This is an awesome opportunity to see what our hometown marching band has been up to, and be impressed by the incredible amount of hard work these kids put in every year to create a show that will blow you away.

This year’s show is called Every Which Way, described as,

… a visual journey where direction becomes our playground. We begin Left and Right, exploring the horizontal plane as arrows point the way and performers shift, travel, and cross from side to side. Our second movement, Up and Down, turns our sense of direction on its head, as performers climb, descend, and slide their way through an ever-changing vertical landscape. Our final movement gets Twisted, when everything we’ve explored collides as twists, turns, and paths overlap in an energetic kaleidoscope of motion. Left becomes right, up becomes down and suddenly there’s no single direction to follow but Every Which Way!

Whoa.

Autumn Fanfare is a true spectacle, featuring 11 bands from across the region, who compete for top honors. In past shows, participating schools have included Corning, Greece, Horseheads, Jordan-Elbridge, Lancaster, LeRoy, Medina, Orchard Park, Rochester, Victor, Webster and West Seneca. Every one of their amazing performances will have you at the edge of your seat and on your feet. Plus, there are FOOD TRUCKS, so plan to get dinner there, too.

The show will take place on Saturday, October 17, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Webster Schroeder Stadium, 875 Ridge Road. Gates open at 5 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the gate, or $10 in advance through this link:  (kids 5 and under are free).

Webster schools celebrate 60th annual Fun Run

25 Sep

It couldn’t have been a more perfect day for the Webster Central School District’s 60th annual Fun Run, held Thursday morning at Charles Sexton (North Ponds) Park.

The annual Fun Run challenges our district’s fourth graders (about 600 of them this year) to complete a one-mile course along the trails surrounding the park. The event began six decades ago as a modest sixth-grade competition at DeWitt Elementary School, but over the years expanded to include entire grade levels across all Webster elementary schools, shifting its focus from a high-stakes race to a celebratory lesson in wellness.

Today, the Fun Run serves as an opportunity to introduce fourth grade students to local community park resources while encouraging lifelong healthy habits.

District elementary physical education teachers collaborate each year to organize the event, encouraging students to run, jog, or walk the course at their own pace. For many of these students, running a full mile can be an intimidating task, and the Fun Run might be the first time they’d ever done that. Crossing the authentic running-race finish line instills a profound sense of pride and self-confidence, showing students firsthand what they can achieve when they tackle a tough challenge.

The atmosphere at the start of the race was electric. Each student got his or her very own running bib, complete with a timing chip. As the countdown started, a few got in some final stretches, others settled into their running stances, and the rest just bounced with excitement. Upbeat music blared through large speakers. Parents lined the course, holding signs and shouting encouragement. Then, at the appointed time, the runners burst off the start line to rousing cheers from the adoring crowd.

Parent cheering squad

I love this event for so many reasons. It doesn’t only teach our kids that exercise — even running — can be fun; it also gives them a chance to see old friends, meet new friends, do something together with all of their fourth grade classmates, and really feel part of a community, regardless of their physical ability.

It was a great day for all involved. Thank you to our WCSD phys. ed teachers for pulling this together every year, to the transportation department for providing buses, to the Webster Thomas and Schroeder student-athletes who encouraged the young runners, to Fleet Feet for providing the official race bibs and fancy finish line, and to all the parents who came out to cheer. The big smiles from the kids make it all worth it.

Webster Thomas counselor named Traveling Teacher of the Year

20 Sep

A huge congratulations to Webster Thomas High School counselor Felice Prindle, who was recently named 2026 Traveling Teacher of the Year by Teach & Travel magazine. Prindle was recognized for her extensive dedication to global service learning and student empowerment. She was featured in the publication’s September 2026 edition.

Prindle’s path to education followed an initial career in hospitality across the U.S. and Italy. Driven by a desire for meaningful relationship-building, she pivoted to school counseling. Her student travel service journey began in Bloomfield, New York, where she helped Spanish-learning students find a hands-on impact project. In 2016, Prindle and her students were among the first U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba in 50 years.

For the past five years, Prindle has brought that same passion to Webster Thomas High School through the Titan Service Scholars program. Open to both current students and alumni, the volunteer-driven initiative combines service learning, research, and reflection to build sustainable, reciprocal community partnerships.

Central to Prindle’s work are her projects in the Bateyes, rural settlements historically built around sugar mills in the Dominican Republic and across the Caribbean. Every six months, she returns with students and alumni to build infrastructure and co-facilitate mobile medical clinics.

Over the past decade across Bloomfield and Webster Thomas, Prindle has guided more than 300 students on global impact projects. Titan Service Scholars has grown into the second-largest program at Webster Thomas High School, attracting students from every corner of the student body.

“Service is a great equalizer,” Prindle said. “You don’t have to be smart; you don’t have to be athletic; you just have to be willing to pick up a shovel and hand-mix cement. You can have the most popular kid, you can have the music kid, you can have the football player, you can have the valedictorian… and they all bring different strengths to a project.”

The impact extends far beyond the communities served. Participating students consistently report that these hands-on journeys profoundly reshape their lives, frequently influencing their career choices and personal passion projects long after graduation.
