Three hundred fifty-nine graduates walked across the stage at the SERC on
the campus of The College at Brockport during Hilton High School’s 115th
Commencement Ceremony on June 28. Inspirational speeches and musical
performances made the ceremony memorable as hundreds of family, friends
and district staff members gathered to celebrate the graduates.
Senior Class President Stephanie Herbert recited a list of activities that she
and most of her classmates enjoyed growing up. She said the purpose of those
experiences was to show them that they could be anything they want to be.
“Use these experiences to guide you to something wonderful,” she told her
fellow graduates.
“Everyone has a story to tell and people
willing to listen. Reach out and immerse
yourself in the world.”
- Deanna Palma, valedictorian
Salutatorian Kaitlin Tyrrell told her fellow graduates to follow their passion
and stay true to themselves and to follow their own path of success.
This year’s guest speaker was Matthew Miller, High School English teacher,
who told graduates to ask themselves, “How will I pursue my passion today?”
He also assured them that while uncertainty and fear will always play a part in
their lives, they need to remember that help is always just around the corner.
Board of Education President Daniel Wellington told students to never
underestimate the impact they’ll have on the people they meet and the places
they live. And Superintendent David Dimbleby showed a touching slideshow
of class photos bringing graduates back to the school years that led up to
graduation day. “No matter where your life takes you, remember that you will
always be the pride of Hilton,” he said.
Every graduate was presented with a brand new 2014 penny when they
walked across the stage as a bright and shining reminder of their future.
“This penny stands for your future potential and I hope it brings you luck,”
said Principal Brian Bartalo. The penny was also a reminder to students to
take care of themselves. “Stay true to each other, take care of each other and
be true to yourself,” said Bartalo.
Post graduate plans for the Hilton Class of 2014 include 47 percent attending
four-year colleges; 33 percent attending two-year colleges; one percent
heading to other post-secondary schools; five percent entering the military;
and 14 percent entering the workforce.
The Hilton Commencement Ceremony will be shown on Cable 12 on Aug. 6
at 11 a.m. and Aug. 16 at 9 p.m.

Hilton Central School District
Retirees recognized for years of service and contributions to education
On June 26, Hilton School District honored 24 retirees with a day of festivities
and recognition. A decorated school bus went around to all of the buildings
to pick up retirees while their coworkers stood outside to cheer them on and
say “goodbye.” After everyone was on board, the bus arrived at the High
School where the retirees and family members enjoyed a picnic lunch. In the
auditorium, the retirees, as well as employees celebrating 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35
and 40 years of service were recognized.
“We have 24 retirees who, together, have worked 585 years. That’s an average
of 24.5 years for each retiree,” said Board President Daniel Wellington.
“Together, you’ve touched the lives of 10,000 children.”
“You’re leaving behind a legacy,” said Superintendent David Dimbleby.
“You’ve created a culture here in Hilton that is not only great for students, but
adults as well.”

Superintendent Dimbleby…
Always a Hilton Cadet
As the 2013-14 school year comes to a close, there are many deserving
of recognition for their work and contributions in making the school
year a success. First and foremost, I want to take this opportunity
to congratulate our graduating seniors and their families. These
students have had an outstanding year and are the pride of the school
community. Just as importantly, the parents of these students have
influenced the successes these students have achieved in the District as
well. I would especially like to thank those parents who are graduating
their youngest child from the Hilton Central School District. While
your children may be moving on to new endeavors, you will always be
considered a Cadet. I hope you will remain in touch and involved in
some way with the school system.
While much of this issue of the Insight is devoted to the achievements
of our students and staff, this is only a small sampling of the long
list of accomplishments of our entire school community; students,
staff, teams and programs. While it is important that we celebrate our
successes, we must also examine our practices in order to better address
the needs of our entering kindergarten students, the class of 2027!
The District’s 2014-16 Strategic Plan that was endorsed by the Board
of Education earlier this year is intended to do just that.
I want to thank you for your continued involvement in the learning
process this past year and encourage you to remain connected in the
future.
Sincerely,
David Dimbleby
Superintendent of Schools

Northwood
Sixth Grade
Graduation
“Character is best defined
by what one does when
no one is watching”
Every student in the Northwood Sixth Grade
Graduating Class received an award in addition
to their certificate of completion. Library
Media Specialist Julie Rapp and Teacher Ed
Donnelly presented the entire class with the
REACH Award for the excellent job done on
their Change the World projects. “You made
plans to take social action, identified real-life
issues and did it all, not for a grade, but to help
others,” said Donnelly.
The Triple C Award was presented to Michael
Bianchi for demonstrating exceptional
character, courage and commitment. Many
other awards were presented for art, music,
physical education, attendance, character and
academic excellence.
Village Sixth Grade Graduation
“Spirited, outgoing, compassionate”
Village Elementary Principal Tracie Czebatol told the sixth grade graduation class that they were “the
most spirited, outgoing, compassionate group of kids she’s ever worked with.” Students and their families
celebrated graduation on June 25 at Hilton High School.
Karly Suhr from Bethany Green’s class was selected to read an essay she wrote about a decision she made
in third grade to work hard.
“I was using the
IB learner profile
traits before I even
knew what they
were to help me be
successful.”
- Karly Suhr
Merton Williams Middle School
Principal Timothy Dobbertin
was the guest speaker. He
challenged every student to find
an adult when they arrive at
Merton Williams in the fall and take the initiative to introduce themselves and let that adult get to know
them over time. “I want all of you to have at least one adult that you feel comfortable talking to,” he said.
The ceremony ended with a performance of “Lean on Me” by a large group of sixth graders who
volunteered to be part of the performance.
Quest Sixth Grade Graduation
“Never doubt how special you are”
“Never doubt how special you are
and how cared for and loved you
are by family, friends and teachers,”
said Principal Renee Mulrooney to
her Quest sixth grade graduating
class. Students were presented with
certificates on the stage at Hilton
High School on June 24.
Principal Kirk Ashton encouraged students
to take advantage of all that life has to offer,
keeping in mind that “character is best defined
by what one does when no one is watching.”
The Ryan McPhee
Award was presented
to Dylan Boprey and
the Darrel Dupra
Award was given
to Amelia Schuster.
Presidential Education
Awards were also presented.
As guest speaker, Superintendent David Dimbleby talked to the graduates about happiness and
listed six ways to be happy: express your heart, cultivate kindness, keep moving, find your flow,
discover and use your strengths, and treasure gratitude, mindfulness and hope. “These six actions
will bring purpose and joy to your life and therefore happiness,” he said.

Hilton Central School District
A message from the Board of Education
Congratulations, Class of 2014
As a school board, there are milestone events throughout the school year
that make us happy and fill us with pride. Those include approving tenure;
National Honor Society induction; honoring our scholars, athletes,
musicians, artists, and more; and the culminating event of every year:
graduation.
Every June we line up in our regalia to lead in the year’s high school
graduates. With the administration we hear “Pomp and Circumstance”
filtering to us, and we begin the walk that transitions our high school
seniors to high school graduates. We stand on the stage and watch eager
faces take their seats, filling the arena with their excitement.
Teachers, administrators, and our board president shower our students
with words of praise, words of encouragement, and words of responsibility.
Then we have the pleasure of hearing from the student leaders themselves.
Their graduation speeches never cease to amaze. With butterflies in their
stomachs, they speak like the adults they are becoming – wise beyond their
18 years. And every word carries with it the hope, dreams and expectations
that only students on the precipice of adulthood can convey. They are
doing more than transitioning to graduates … they are transitioning to
adulthood and independence – spreading their collective wings to fly into
their futures.
It is amazing.
As each student crosses the stage, their families and friends cheer for them.
Mothers’ eyes mist over. Younger siblings gaze in admiration. Fathers’
chests swell with pride. Teachers, administration and we, the Board of
Education, are pleased to know that another year has been successful –
that Hilton has done its best – and now sends its best out to the world,
prepared for their respective futures.
To the Class of 2014 – we wish you the best. We can’t wait to see
where your paths will take you, and rejoice in your future successes.
Congratulations!
Quest student raises over
$850 to help end tropical
diseases for poor
It isn’t every day that you see an 11-year old reading Scientific American
magazine, but that is exactly where Sophia Triassi found her idea for her
Quest sixth grade Exhibition project. She read about Neglected Tropical
Diseases (NTDs) that adversely impact 1.4 billion of the poorest people in
the world. Right away, she knew she wanted to get involved.
“I was concerned about the symptoms of these diseases and how many
people have them,” said Sophia. “And I was surprised at how little it
takes to help them.” Through an internet search, she found END7, an
organization that, in cooperation with the Sabin Vaccine Institute, seeks
funds to end seven diseases by 2020.
Sophia held a yard sale, which raised $878.50 and, along with donations
to her personal fundraising page, she has helped over 2,100 people
receive needed vaccines. END7 honored Sophia as their Student of the
Month for May and she received a personal letter of thanks from the chief
executive officer of Sabin Vaccine Institute, Michael W. Marine.
Nearly one in six people around the world suffer from NTDs - bacterial
and parasitic diseases that
disable people so they are
unable to work and go
to school, which leads to
poverty. Just 50 cents can
treat and protect one person
for one year against all
seven of the most common
neglected tropical diseases.
For more information, visit
END7.org.
Sophia Triassi has now helped over 2,100
people receive needed vaccines.
Transportation Department comes together to celebrate director’s retirement
On June 30, Director of Transportation Fred Paye retired from the Hilton
School District after 25 years. In May, Paye sent an invitation to all of the
transportation staff he’s worked with over the years for a brunch at Jennejahn
Lodge. “I would like to spend one more day with some great friends that
helped me build Hilton transportation into one of the greatest transportation
departments in the state,” he wrote.
4
Over 35 drivers, office personnel, bus attendants, mechanics and head bus
drivers attended the event to honor Paye and enjoy each other’s company.
Paye also worked with the Hilton Fire Department over the past 25 years and
was honored with their Working Together Award earlier this year.
Summer 2014
Spreading the word
about IB
Student Ambassadors recently took a trip to Hilton East
to spread the word about the International Baccalaureate
Program. Twenty students spent an hour talking with
residents, specifically about the learner profiles and what it
means to be an IB student, and then worked with them to
decorate pots and plant flowers for the residents to keep
in their rooms. Accompanying the students were Assistant
Principal Suzanne Goff and Middle Years Programme
Coordinator Diane Campbell, teachers Janeen Pizzo and
Mike Potter, and Secretary Claudia Engel.
The Student of the Year Student-Ambassador Program is a
pilot for the 2013-14 school year that enables students of
the month (students who were nominated by their teachers
for demonstrating qualities that align with the IB learner
profile) to apply to be Student-Ambassadors, students
who help teach the community about the IB program,
specifically about the learner profile traits associated with
the IB educational philosophy.
The application process included a letter of interest and
evidence, such as a poster or video, of the learner profile
trait for which the student was recognized. A faculty council
then selected 20 students to serve as Student-Ambassadors
for the 2014-15 school year.

Program helps students become
more internationally minded
Students at Merton Williams Middle School have opportunities to learn even during
their lunch periods. The Taste of Culture program, piloted by Middle Years Programme
Coordinator Diane Campbell and Assistant Principal Suzanne Goff, is helping students
become more internationally minded and aware of how their community relates to the
world – and it doesn’t cost a dime.
Community members, parents and staff volunteered their time to share their knowledge
of other countries in the form of presentations, food and displays. The 40-minute
presentations, during both of the two lunch periods, took place once a month and
drew crowds of more than 60 students and staff. Even though student participation
was voluntary, they were eager to learn about places such as Greece, United Kingdom,
Germany, Mozambique and China.
“It really changed my perspective on what I thought about different countries,” said
student Nate Higgins.
“Students came away not with a realization about our differences, but how we are all
common as humanity,” said Campbell. The participants used the opportunity to reflect on
their own heritage as well.
Campbell would like to thank all of last year’s presenters and encourage anyone who has
traveled abroad to share their experiences with students for the 2014-15 school year.
Campbell can be reached at [email protected] or 392-1000, ext. 3170.
MW students help create IB Learner Profile mural
The group of students
who did not attend
the eighth grade trip
to Washington, DC
made good use of their
time. They donated
their talent to help

Suzanne Goff create a
mural illustrating the
10 icons that represent
the International
Baccalaureate Middle
Years Programme Learner
Profile. Eighth grader

Students in Jamie Melos’ 12:1:1 and Hope Randolph’s music class at
Merton Williams Middle School put on a creative and entertaining
production of Tikki Tikki Tempo, a Chinese folktale, thanks to a lot of
hard work and dedication. Teacher Assistant Lora Leo and Teacher Aide
Darlene Clark worked diligently with the music class for two months
practicing songs and helping students learn their lines. Jim Reichert and
Brad Helmer, technology teachers, helped create the set, and Kathy Vito,
youth assistant, donated items for props.
“Collaboratively the class and staff did an amazing job in providing a
great opportunity for our students,” said Melos.

Merton Williams student recognized by
Johns Hopkins University
Katie Pickering, who will be entering eighth grade in the fall, was recently honored as one of the brightest young
students in the nation at a regional awards ceremony for academically advanced children sponsored by The Johns
Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY).
The Center honored Katie, a participant in the CTY Talent Search, for her
exceptional performance on a rigorous, above-grade-level test given to
academically talented second-through-eighth-grade students.
6
Katie was one of more than 38,000 students from over 120 countries who participated in the CTY Talent Search.
Because of the difficulty of the tests, only about 30 percent of students who participated earned an invitation to a CTY
Awards Ceremony where they were individually honored for their academic performance and potential. Katie attended
the awards ceremony at the University of Rochester with her parents, Jerry and Nancy Pickering, Board of Education
member, and her REACH teacher Greg Booth.
