Vandalism

"Clearly retarded at silver creek aren't mature enough to not vandalize this article. I know the kids who are doing this and they are to stupid to stop so I believe the article should be Semi-Protected as it was before to prevent this from happening in the future. I say in June of 2009 the majority of seniors and juniors who are doing this will have graduated, assuming none of them fail which is likely to happen."

Weasel Words

In this article, I have noticed a few things that have wording that is similar to what wikipedia says are Weasel Words. An example in the article is where they call "Howard Ehmke" a hero, and some people could argue saying that he is not a hero. A better word that could be used could be something like "legend".--~Cuddlezzz~ 14:08, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Positive Note

I am going to be using this website in my Silver Creek High School Software Applications class to see if I can teach them how to use this website responsibly. I hope that you see more positive helpful facts added to this website.--Rgugliuz (talk) 00:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek is just not some hick town with nothing to do. There is a lot of school and community events that take place throughout the year; basketball games, school concerts, musicals, Grape Festival, children's fair and even Art shows at the library. --Rywc17 (talk) 15:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek offers the opportunity to excel in many fields of study. Not only are the classes educational, but the teachers are sure to provide connections to the “real life” applications to what we are learning. Eva Saulitis, a published author, returned from her studies in Alaska to visit the English classes for the day on Monday, (2/11/08). As a member of Mrs. Davis’s AP English class this was an insightful view into the life of someone who lives to write. Eva shared her experiences in Alaska and how they influence her writing, inspiring us as we endeavor to find our own voice. 2bak8 (talk) 15:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Benefits

I am a very active student at Silver Creek High School, and this website could make it very easy to communicate with other students and teacher about what is new in school. This website could be especially helpful for students in school athletics and clubs to post when and where practices, games, and meetings are. --Emily987 (talk) 15:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia can be used for teachers to plan lessons for their classes, and also used for coaches in silver creek and other schools to post practice and game schedules--168.169.77.215 (talk) 15:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am a student at Silver Creek Central. I think it's a great school and has many great activities that I enjoy, like Key Club and Big Buddy. --Aliciakins (talk) 15:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliciakins (talk • contribs) 15:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The School Silver Creek is a nice place to go to school. It has a small society so everyone knows each other, and great sports. The students are nice, and a well balanced teacher system.--ICarb0n (talk) 15:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek is a really good school. I am currently a senior at Silver Creek and the community here is great. The sports here are even better. The community doesn't care how well your doing in sports and they will always be there for all of the games and back you up. The football team made it to the Ralph Wilson Stadium and it was an extremley awsome experience playing out on the field. I have never experienced anything like that before and i am glad it was with the town I played for. --Corybrdmn (talk) 13:55, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently going to silver creek school. I am a senior and going to graduate. Marcusjameshughes (talk) 13:41, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creeek is just about the best place to grow up. Everyone knows everyone, and it really comes in handy when you forget your homework at school because there are so many people that wouldn't mind helping you out by sending you the homework for that night. Theschool website also really helps by letting you go on and see if your missing anything if you were absent that day. Reedabook (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone to Silver Creek School since kindergarten and I am in 10th grade now. I can honestly say Silver Creek is the best town to grow up in. If you live here, you basically know everyone. Silver Creek Central School has awesome teachers who help when help is needed, fun activities including plays, ski club, Key Club, band, chorus… Anything you can think of, Silver Creek’s probably got it!

I’m a student at Silver Creek, I moved here from Lake Shore. I was welcomed with open arms. The only way to see how great a place is too see it from the out side. I’ve done this and this place is awesome.--Peace (talk) 15:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek is a small awesome town ! Your friends just live a mile away and you live around everyone! There's a beach for when summer comes along. You can have much fun in this town. There's a little park with a creek, playground, basketball courts, tennis and baseball fields. So you can enjoy everything in this town.--ErickaJ (talk) 15:38, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek is full of amazing people —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dorris3131 (talk • contribs) 13:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SunSet Bay Beach is a great place to hang out in the summer, after school is out. The water is always a clear baby blue and the sand is warm under your feet. There are always people playing volleyball and Kan Jam. Kan Jam is a favorite activity for students in the summer. Everyone should check out SunSet Bay Beach this summer!

School Activities

The Silver Creek Athletics Program has been a big part of our small town life in the past. We have gone to playoffs and championships and won! Now we are all doing a wonderful job to keep up the good work. GO BLACK KNIGHTS! --Lgloss (talk) 15:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek offers a variety of clubs for students to join, such as Ski School. Every Thursday, students load up on the buses and head to Holiday Valley in Ellicottville to either ski or snowboard. With over 60 different and challenging trails, Holiday Valley provides the students with 3 hours of pure fun!--Music love (talk) 15:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek is probably the best place to participate in sports. Though we have the teams that enjoy the sport they are playing, the crowd is very supportive as well. School activities are were you can hang out with your friends, enjoy the game, help out a fundraiser, dance the night away at dances, during concerts, you can enjoy the music from the band, and the singing voices of the chorus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JakeEckley (talk • contribs) 15:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silver Creek is a place of high musicality. Students are encouraged to express themselves and improve their talents to a professional level. Having people like John and Nancy Krestic (artistic director of the CCC) and Bud Lowery, among others, living in our town has given us students access to fine tutorship. We also have Michael Wieloszynski and Dan Bromsted in our music program, which has given the students a level of discipline and competence that is rarely seen in the school setting. Last year the Silver Creek Senior Band played a level six program at NYSSMA and received a silver award. That is something that few schools have the honor of accomplishing. Silver Creek has always been a musical region, and with the help of our school and community it will continue to be so.

Silver Creek has a lot of different events that students can participate in; including dances, fun nights, plays, concerts, and sporting events. These events are alot of fun and are enjoyed by mostly everybody. The events are all listed on the school calendar. --Philly31493 (talk) 15:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Skew arch bridge

The article says, "Silver Creek is home to a Skew Arch Railroad Bridge, one of few bridges in the world built on an angle." I'm afraid this is a very parochial view of the world and utterly incorrect. There were literally thousands of skew arch bridges built of brick and stone in the United Kingdom alone during the years of rapid railway expansion during the second half of the 19th Century. Many of them survive and many are still in use. Athough the skew arch was once considered very difficult to construct, once it was understood, thanks to the works of pioneers like Peter Nicholson (1828) and Charles Fox (1836), British engineers didn't hesitate to build them in locations where their advantages outweighed their extra expense and complexity. Have a look at Kielder Viaduct and Neidpath Viaduct for two fine examples. I've therefore changed the word world to country. MegaPedant (talk) 15:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding some of the recent edits and additional material added, I think that some additional work needs to be done to keep this content in wikipedia.
