Kids in Seats

Sagamore is NOW participating in the program “Kids in Seats.”

Kids in Seats works directly with schools throughout the United States to provide them with thousands of free tickets throughout the year to major sports and entertainment events. These can include tickets to major league NBA, NHL, MLB sports games, Broadway plays, star-studded concerts and much more. These memorable experiences serve as a valuable incentive in reinforcing positive achievements for our Sagamore students. We are not in control of what tickets are assigned to us.

So How Does It Work? When Sagamore gets notified of free tickets, a message will go out to check your emails. If you are interested in attending the specified event, you must fill out a google form attached to the email. You submit this form for your family’s chance to win. You will be entered into a lottery. Ticket winners will be chosen randomly and give to families. Any other costs for the event such as parking fees or items inside the event, will be the responsibility of the family. We will only provide the actual ticket to be admitted to the event.

Please login to your parent portal account and check that you have an up-to-date email and phone number on file. This is a great opportunity! We hope that this program can provide our Sagamore families with an entertaining and wonderful family night out – all for FREE! Below is their website! Check it out if you want to learn more information about this wonderful organization! https://www.kidsinseats.org/

Sachem Schools Unite to Support ALS Ride for Life

DSC_0527.jpg thumbnail266514

Sachem High School East, Sagamore Middle School and Chippewa Elementary School once again demonstrated their commitment to service and community this spring by raising a remarkable $11,478 in support of the ALS Ride for Life. The fundraising initiative was led by Sachem East’s Student Government, under the guidance of advisers Mr. Gallo and Mr. Jannace, with strong support from Sagamore and Chippewa.

This year’s event was held in honor of ALS patient advocate David Phillips, who participated in the event by making the journey in his scooter, cheered on by crowds of students, families and staff. The annual tradition included a symbolic walk from Sachem East to Sagamore Middle School and then to Chippewa Elementary School, raising both awareness and funds for ALS research and patient care.

Sachem East raised $7,950, Sagamore contributed $3,128 and Chippewa added $400, bringing the districtwide total to $11,478. These efforts once again make Sachem East the largest single school donor to the ALS Ride for Life.

Over the years, Student Government at East, along with honor societies and dedicated families, have organized community walks, assemblies and popular fundraising events like dodgeball and basketball tournaments. Notably, Sachem East was the first group to return to the streets with the Ride for Life following the COVID-19 pandemic and previously coordinated the District’s only four-school Ride for Life.

The connection to the cause runs deep. Students first developed a close relationship with ALS Ride for Life Founder Chris Pendergast and continue to support the mission through ongoing collaboration with Christine Pendergast and Paul Weissman, who carry on his legacy.

Sachem’s continued efforts exemplify leadership, compassion and the power of youth activism. The District is proud of all involved for their dedication to making a difference in the fight to cure ALS.

Sagamore Algebra Students Spread Kindness Through Creativity

At Sagamore Middle School, Mrs. DiGiacinto’s algebra students are learning more than just math – they’re embracing the power of kindness. Throughout the year, the classes have gone “On the Road” with CBS correspondent Steve Hartman, diving into his Kindness 101 video series. These moving stories sparked meaningful conversations and inspired students to reflect on the impact of small, compassionate acts.

As a heartfelt extension of their work, a group of students collaborated to create a children’s book, “A Pocket Full of Kindness: Little Acts that Matter.” Each student chose a quality of kindness and brought it to life through original writing and illustrations. The book is dedicated to Grayson Danielski, a young boy courageously recovering from a brain tumor. Grayson’s parents, both Sachem graduates, served as a meaningful connection for the students, who wanted to honor his strength and show their support.

The project culminated in a joyful publishing party, where Grayson’s grandmother was presented with a copy of the book to share with him. The event was a powerful reminder that kindness, creativity and community go hand in hand.
