Prospect Families! Don't forget tonights Open House - October 15, 2026. We can't wait to see you from 5-6:30pm.
Young learners enjoy a morning of fire prevention education, safety tips, and community connection.
Fire safety was the lesson of the day earlier this week as the Salamanca Fire Department spent the morning with Pre-K students at Prospect Elementary School in celebration of Fire Prevention Week!
The special visit gave young learners an exciting opportunity to meet local firefighters, learn about the important work they do, and discover simple ways to stay safe in the event of a fire.
Through engaging demonstrations and age-appropriate safety tips, firefighters helped students better understand fire prevention while making learning fun and memorable. The morning was filled with excitement, curiosity, and valuable lessons that will help these young students develop lifelong safety habits.
Beyond teaching fire safety, the visit also helped build positive relationships between the children and the firefighters who serve and protect their community. Experiences like these remind students that firefighters are not only emergency responders but also friendly, trusted helpers they can turn to when needed.
A big thank-you to the Salamanca Fire Department for taking the time to educate, inspire, and connect with our youngest learners! Their continued dedication to fire prevention education helps ensure that even the littlest members of our community are learning how to stay safe.
Learning fire safety starts young, and a little prevention goes a long way!

Our fourth graders had a brew-tiful time putting their reading skills to work during a fun StarBOOKS classroom experience! π
Students rotated through stations featuring real-world texts, including newspapers, recipes, comic strips, advertisements, magazines, and more! At each stop, they practiced identifying the author's purpose: Persuade, Inform, or Entertain (PIE)! π₯§π
After serving up some awesome critical thinking, students were treated to a Starbucks-inspired refresher and received their very own personalized StarBOOKS cups! π₯€π

β¨ Prospect Students Help Bring GanΣ§:nyΣ§k to Life! π¨π
Students at Prospect helped Seneca Culture Teacher Mrs. White paint this mural during her class while learning about Ganӧ:nyӧk, the Thanksgiving Address. Leeora White was asked by the Seneca Salamanca Chambers of Commerce in partnership with the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board to create a community mural for the City of Salamanca along with other artist in hopes of creating more murals in our community.
Mrs. White was already introducing students to Ganӧ:nyӧk when this project was presented to her and right away she knew she wanted the mural to encompass every element of the Thanksgiving Address for students to identify. The mural was created on 9 separate panels so Mrs. White was able to bring 2 panels to Prospect to have students work on them with her. Students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade help create the autumn maple tree. Students in 2nd and 3rd grade help create stars in the night sky.
Mrs. White's hope with this community mural is to inspire an attitude of gratitude throughout our community, and always remember there is so much to be thankful for in our every day lives. The mural is located on Main Street in downtown Salamanca and assembled on the Antique Mall. Students were very excited and thankful to be apart of this project.
