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/

Jeff Stone Memorial Cross Country Run

cross country meet thumbnail261443
Sagamore, Samoset and Seneca Middle School student-athletes traveled to Sachem High School East on Oct. 2 to participate in Sachem’s 41st annual Jeff Stone Memorial Cross Country Run.

“Jeff Stone was a Sachem teacher and coach for track and cross country,” Seneca Cross Country Coach Heidi Michta said. “In a quote by another prominent runner and coach lost too soon in Sachem, Charlie Johnson, ‘Mr. Stone was a major influence in the growth of the running programs here at Sachem. His knowledge, guidance and encouraging words will be missed, but not forgotten.’”

“Sachem has a fine lineage of runners that stems back decades,” Sachem East Boys Cross Country Coach Joe Orenzo said. “The Jeff Stone run is one of Sachem's finest traditions and one that fosters a love of running, competition and sportsmanship. Some of our best and strongest county and state runners got their start by running in the Jeff Stone meet.”

Sagamore Students Create a ‘Hurricane’ of Kindness

Sagamore Middle School students in Sachem are starting the school year with a lesson on kindness.  thumbnail260856
Sagamore Middle School students in Sachem are starting the school year with a lesson on kindness. During grade-level assemblies, students watched a video about the butterfly effect, or the idea that a single butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world can create a hurricane on the other side. In the video, the theory was applied to acts of kindness. Students witnessed how a small act in North Carolina led to two young girls passing on kindness to a village in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

After watching the video, students were encouraged to write down the ways they would spread kindness and create a kindness “hurricane” at Sagamore. Students wrote their ideas on butterfly-shaped Post-it notes, which were then put on display in the hallway to remind students to keep kindness at the forefront throughout the school year.

Here are some of the ideas shared by eighth grade students:

Charlotte F. – “I’m going to spread a hurricane by making sure everyone is feeling equal because no matter how someone learns or dresses, everyone should be treated equally.”

Avery T. – “I’m going to make a hurricane at Sagamore by being kind to everyone and waving at someone in the hallway, or even just saying hi to them, because that may seem little, but it could make someone’s day.”

Kendall B. – “I’ll start my hurricane at Sagamore by if someone is sitting by themselves or if they have no one to sit with, you can ask them to sit with and your friends so that they can become friends with you guys.”

Aaliyah H. – “I’m going to spread my hurricane by holding the door open for people and making people feel good because even if they’re different, we’re all the same in the end.”

Ben D. – “I’m going to spread my hurricane by helping people in the halls with their lockers and helping them find their classes.”

John B. – “I’m going to start a hurricane at Sagamore by helping people out with their homework and classwork.”

Maliha A. – “I’m going to start a hurricane at Sagamore by making sure others feel comfortable with the way you treat them. If you talk to someone with excitement and they’re not used to it, it could make them feel uncomfortable, so just making sure they’re okay with how you talk to them.”
