SOUTH SENECA TO ERECT CENOTAPH: All graduates invited
to participate!
There is a
stone on route from Darfur, Sudan in Africa to Ovid, NY. There is another
that is here already from the shores of Seneca Lake. With these stones and
many more our students will learn and commemorate the wide spread influences and
experiences that add to the lives of South Seneca Students of the past, present
and future. We hope you will join us in our efforts and help us on our
mission.
A CENOTAPH
will be erected on school grounds in the spring of ’09 under the direction of
Tina Bauder, Middle School Social Studies teacher.
A
cenotaph
is a memorial or a monument erected in honor of a person or group of people who
are elsewhere. Our South Seneca Cenotaph will include stones from
individuals and groups who are or have been a part of the South Seneca School
Community and have enriched the lives of our students over time. The
learning that goes on in a school does not all come from the teachers within the
walls of the school buildings. South Seneca students are fortunate to be
continually enriched by the legacy of former graduates, and the many local,
national and global community friends and family, who care about young people,
education and world citizenship. We want to honor the knowledge and
experiences we gain from connections to the world as well as recognize how South
Seneca has helped young people grow and develop into world citizens through out
the history of the school.
Our goal is to collect a stone from each person or group who has
touched the lives of the South Seneca School Community and/or has been
positively influenced by their school experience to go out into the world and do
good things. We hope to collect stones from many different parts of the
country and the world! Each stone will have a story! Please bring or send
YOUR stone (with your name, year of graduation, College or Trade School
attended, Military Service Info, Present Job, City and State you are living and
any information about the stone) to Tina Bauder, South Seneca Middle School,
7263 South Main Street, Ovid, NY 14521.
