Maplemere's Nico Designs Hat for Josh Allen

Happy Victory Monday, Buffalo Bills fans! Did you know that our very own Maplemere Panther, Nico, designed one of Josh Allen's New Era Cap weekly hats? These hats were created by patients at the Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo and after Josh wears them each week, they are auctioned off to support the Patricia Allen Fund.

Five-year-old Nico was diagnosed with a Diaphragmatic Hernia before being born. Nico's hat was worn and featured prior to the Week 17 game vs. Philadelphia. Nico's design raised an AMAZING $16,050 for the Children's Hospital!

Thank you to Maplemere teacher Mallory Pisarek for putting together this story. Nico, we are so proud that you and your family are part of ours. What an amazing honor! Go Bills, and Go Panthers!

Board of Ed Discusses NY State Portrait of a Graduate Initiative

Last evening, the Board of Education, Dr. Ginestre, and our public heard an in-depth presentation from Dr. Toyia Wilson, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, about the NY State Portrait of a Graduate.

From the NYS Education Department: "At the July 2025 Board of Regents meeting, the Board formally adopted the New York State Portrait of a Graduate, a critical milestone in the Department’s NY Inspires initiative. The Portrait provides a unifying vision of what it means to be a graduate in New York State and describes the essential skills and dispositions that all students should develop to be successful in college, careers, and civic life."

These changes to graduation pathways will be rolled out slowly and with intention and stakeholder input. Dr. Wilson showed the many parallels to our own work with our Strategic Plan. The Sweet Home Board of Education discussed differences between current graduation requirements, what will be available in the future, and how we would have local control over students' options. Student BOE member Jaevon Coleman asked insightful questions about diploma types and AP classes. Dr. Ginestre highlighted the initiative's focus on ensuring students are practically prepared for the modern workforce and cutting edge careers.

To view the full presentation and/or watch video of the discussion from last evening, visit our BOE page.

We look forward to doing this work together as a Sweet Home community! #WeAreSweetHome
