Dear Students and Parents:
Hello from Casey Middle School! As I prepare for my first year
as Principal, I have had the opportunity to take time this summer
to imagine the possibilities for 2017-2018, and I am exhilarated. I
have already been fortunate to connect with some of our amazing
students and families, and have spent the last days of August with
our staff preparing for our first day on September 5. I am
continually impressed by the thought, care, and positivity they
show in all that they do with our students. They are true
professionals who appreciate the weightiness of the work we do.
I am happy to introduce Mr. Chris McDuffie, who will be serving
as our Acting Assistant Principal at Casey. Mr. McDuffie has served
as a Health and PE teacher at Casey for the past five years. He has
a history of success as teacher and coach, knows and understands
Casey's unique culture and amazing students, and is an outstanding
leader. We are fortunate to have him .
We have just wrapped up our hiring process for a number of
teaching ositions. Our new teachers ·11 ready to start on September
5! You can learn more about this impressive group in the "Meet the
New Teachers" section of this newsletter. We are confident that
these professionals will add much to the life and growth of our
students.
I am happy to announce that we will host an Open House on
Wednesday, September 27th. At 6:30 pm, parents will report to their
child 's first period classes and will have the opportunity to run
through their child's abbreviated schedule to get a sense of their
day and teacher expectations for the coming year. You will need a
copy of your child's "A" day schedule, which can be printed off
WITS. This evening is for parents/guardians only.
I am grateful to our supportive and active PTSA, and I look
forward to working with them this year. I welcome:
Co-Presidents: Shari Peer and Karen Schiff Co-Vice Presidents:
Gretchen Olearczyk and Julie Williams Secretaries: Christine Hill
and Julie Bastible Treasurer: Nicole Giambrone
We are looking forward with enthusiasm to welcoming our students
back to Casey on September 5th . Please carefully read this
newsletter and make note of important dates and events that are
approaching . We hope to see you at Open House.
With gratitude,
Peter Dobmeier Principal

With the beginning of the academic school year fast approaching,
I have begun to reflect on how
fortunate I am to work in such an amazing building with
incredible students and staff. Each new school
year, to me, represents an opportunity for hope and growth. I
encourage everyone to get involved and
take full advantage of the Casey experience as we gear up for
the 2017-2018 school year!
Our theme for the 2017-2018 school year is "Dreams Work When You
Work" and at Casey Middle School
we believe, students grow and achieve when they have
opportunities to be unique and authentic. We
place an emphasis on developing the whole student, as our
students will be the leaders of tomorrow.
To assist and help them achieve their dreams, we believe that
collaboration and team work are
imperative.
I look forward to celebrating your child's continued growth and
many successes with you . My best
wishes to all for an amazing 2017-2018 school year!
Mr. Chris S. McDuffie
Acting Assistant Principal
Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better
to be alone than in bad company.

MEET THE NEW TEACHERS AT CASEY MIDDLE
Hello! My name is Christina Ruggeri and I am the GT regular sub
for this year. I am super excited to be here and cannot wait to get
started! My base certification is in mathematics and I also have a
strong background in statistics. However, I enjoy teaching and
learning about a wide range of subjects. On a personal note, I am
an avid sports fan and extremely passionate about the Buffalo
Sabres. I also enjoy baking, gardening, theatre, and music. I am
looking forward to working with all of you!
Hello! My name is Lauren Metzen and I am the new ESOL teacher at
Casey. I grew up in Hamburg, New York and now live in the city of
Buffalo. I have an undergraduate degree from SUNY Geneseo in
Psychology and Spanish. My Masters degree is from Buffalo State
College in Early Childhood and Childhood Education along with an
advanced certificate in TESOL (K-12). I love to travel in my free
time. I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain and was an au-pair in
Madrid, Spain. I can speak Spanish fairly fluently and love
learning new languages! This past summer I was in Cape Town, South
Africa teaching English. I also enjoy learning to dance and am
currently learning salsa dancing. I am excited to start this new
school year with you all!
Hello everyone! I'm Jeanine Slipko! I'm delighted to be part of
the Casey Middle School team . I'll be part of the LOTE department
teaching French! I look forward to meeting all of my students and
can't wait to get started!
I have 13 years teaching experience and have taught both middle
and high school levels. I studied at the Catholic University of
Lille, France and bring a lot of culture to the classroom. I've
been a part of many excursions to Europe and Quebec with students,
where I get the chance to be a part of their excitement and love of
language.
Currently I reside in Williamsville with my husband and three
children. My children attend Maple West where I'm active in the
PTA.
I enjoy cultural activities, singing, music, cooking and
traveling.

privilege to be joining such a talented faculty here at Casey.
Outside of the school day I spend time with
my husband, two dogs, and my horse. I look forward to meeting
you all and being able to teach at such
an awesome school!

Turn Markers Into Energy!
Dear Parents,
We have two ongoing recycling programs at Casey Middle School.
One is done in conjunction with Crayola and the other is with
Nike/Converses.
The first program is called Crayola ColorCycle. With this
program you and your child(ren) can collect used, ready to be
discarded markers. The markers will be sent to a facility where
they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to
power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more!
The other program is called Nike Grind. In this program, you and
your child(ren) can collect used, ready to be discarded sneakers.
The sneakers are sent to a facility where they are separated into
three parts and ground into small segments. The resulting product
will be used in playgrounds, track surfaces, tennis and basketball
courts, equestrian surfacing material, and architectural structures
all over the world.
Please help support our efforts by saving and encouraging your
children to save used markers and ready to be discarded sneakers.
ALL brands of markers and sneakers are accepted. A clear plastic
Drop-off box will be located in the school's entryway for you and
your child(ren) to deposit the markers and a tan trash can with a
swing lid will be there for the shoes. The containers will be there
throughout the year (including the summer), so feel free to recycle
your markers and sneakers at any time.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents
and students like you, we can keep tons of plastic and sneakers out
of landfills each year.
Sincerely,
Ginny Hemmer, Casey PTSA

About the Williamsville Music Boosters
We are fortunate to have an outstanding music program in the
Williamsville School District. The District has been recognized ten
times as being one of the top music education programs in the
country. The quality of the music program is the result of the
dedication and hard work of our music educators, our parents, our
students and the long standing recognition by the District that
education in music is vital to the overall development of our
students.
Williamsville Music Boosters is proud to support this excellent
program by providing support for special music enrichment projects
for students in the district, such as:
• Hosting renowned guest conductors and clinicians who work
directly with music students • Commissioning of new music works by
distinguished composers • Supporting elementary field trips to see
the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra • Sponsoring of other music
events that go beyond students' classroom experience
Additionally, Music Boosters provides: • Financial support for
students who attend regional and national events* • College
scholarships for district students pursuing college music programs
after high school
graduation* • Sponsorship of the Williamsville Summer Music
Program
*Note that some programs provided by the Boosters require family
membership in the Williamsville Music Boosters
Through your membership, Williamsville Music Boosters invites
you to support music in our schools, and the important life skills
that music education develops in our students. You can find an
application on the reverse side of this page, at most concerts, or
online at the Williamsville Music Boosters website,
