As sunshine returns and sidewalks wake up from their winter nap, our neighborhoods are filling with the whir of bike tires, the glide of scooters, and the steady rhythm of skateboards. It’s a great time to get outside—and a great time to stay safe.

School Resource Officers VanDunk and Terry have been visiting middle school physical education classes, sharing practical tips on bike and scooter safety, safe road crossing, and how to be courteous and aware around pedestrians. Their message is simple and important: helmets matter, awareness matters, and small choices make a big difference.

And here’s a fun twist—our local officers will be on the lookout for students who are doing it right! Safe riders may be rewarded for their smart habits, turning good decisions into something worth celebrating.

For families, this is a perfect moment to review safe walking routes, especially for children who are new to traveling home on their own. And for all of us behind the wheel, a little extra patience and attention in our villages and hamlets goes a long way.

With everyone playing their part, we can keep our community safe, active, and ready to enjoy the season ahead.

Fifth Grader Sabino Matarazzo is being celebrated as a Middle School Artist of Excellence. Middle School Art Teacher Mrs. Fraim says, “Sabino uses the studio habit of mind envision to release his imagination and create figures in action.” His characters explore worlds and tell stories. Sabino is engaged and persists outside of school art studio and envelope craft with practice and his own set of artist grade graphite. “He is truly an artist of excellence and in fifth grade has already started building an impressive portfolio of artwork,” adds Mrs. Fraim. Mrs. Fraim also points out that one of Sabino’s pieces also tied nicely into kindness week celebrated at Wayland-Cohocton as one of his highlighted projects, a kindness balloon, is based on the artist Bansky,
