Our Annual Chess Club Tournament is heating up as all first round matchups have been completed.
Noah Hollenbeck, Chase Skinner, Sam Hill, Degan Reynolds, and Vivian Frasier all moved to the quarter finals. In the quarterfinals Cooper Philo, Chase and Noah all moved on as Noah upset #1 seed Sam Nelson.
There is one more quarter final matchup left as Aidan Blanchard takes on Degan for the right and privilege to play Cooper in a semifinal matchup.
We would like to congratulate Sam Nelson on the #1 seed and regular season title with an 1870 rating, but there will be no repeat champion in the tournament this year. Thursday could be the day we crown our next Grandmaster.
Stay tuned for the final results of the Chess Club winter tournament! Go, Riverhawks!

Dear CCSD Families,
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Humility during our Positivity Project social emotional learning lessons. Humility means you do not seek the spotlight. You let your actions speak for themselves.
Humble people have an accurate (not underestimated) sense of their abilities and achievements. They hold the capacity to acknowledge their mistakes and limitations, and are open to advice and new ideas. They do not show off their possessions or accomplishments.
Developing humility is associated with positive developmental outcomes in individuals. It allows a person to honestly reflect on their abilities and acknowledge how and where they can improve. Humility opens them up to new ideas, advice, and (consequently) abilities that pride, arrogance, or pretentiousness often block. Therefore, humility makes them desired members of a team.
To practice and encourage the character strength of humility with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2) where together you can watch a video, read a quote and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week!

Dear CCSD Families,
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Love of Learning in our Positivity Project Social Emotional Learning lessons. Love of learning means you master new topics on your own or in school.
Those with a love of learning are intrinsically motivated and engaged in a topic regardless of achieving an external standard. They enjoy learning simply for the sake of learning. They don’t need a prize of a high grade as a reward. Their reward is the process of doing the work and improving.
Developing a love of learning is highly beneficial for an individual. It means that they are intrinsically motivated to deepen their existing skills and abilities, or learn something completely new. Since intrinsically motivated action is correlated with positive emotions, those who act on their love of learning may also have enhanced mental and physical health. Additionally, individuals who love learning have the desire and ability to overcome challenges, due to a sense of autonomy and control over their environment.
To practice and encourage the character strength of love of learning with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you can watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week! We look forward to welcoming our students and staff back from break!

Dear CES Friends:
We are excited to invite you to join us for the 10th year of our Read for Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Capital Region Program! (READ for RMHC-CR) We are excited to tell you about READ for RMHC-CR – a reading-based community service program run in partnership with area elementary and middle schools. This exciting initiative empowers students to help others by using their reading skills to raise funds that support the children and families served by RMHC-CR. Our RMHC-CR mission is to deliver and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and families. Drawing on the compassion of our community, we fulfill this mission through three core programs:
• The Ronald McDonald House® provides a home away from home for families of seriously ill children, keeping them together as their children receive much needed medical treatment.
• The Ronald McDonald Family Room® extends the comfort and support of the House to families within the Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Med.
• The Ronald McDonald Family Retreat, our newest program, provides a peaceful, supportive setting where families experiencing serious childhood illness can enjoy being together, making lasting memories.
The READ for RMHC-CR program offers schools and students the opportunity to help children and families in need in our community, many of whom are struggling with serious childhood health challenges. Students are encouraged to volunteer their time spent reading to earn donations that will help the children and families served by RMHC-CR. They become partners in supporting the health and well-being of children just like them. READ for RMHC-CR is designed to provide for the families we serve, and to benefit the students and schools who generously participate. The program:
• Helps students develop a strong sense of civic participation and community service
• Empowers young people to make a direct impact in the lives of other children
• Supports and encourages student achievements in reading, a core skill vital to future success
• Allows children to use their reading skills – at whatever level of mastery they have achieved – to make a positive difference in their community
Read for RMHC is just one of the many ways that CES is promoting literacy and supporting our social emotional learning goals! Look for more exciting activities in the month of March! Check out this exciting video from RMH and Mrs. Connor to kick off our Read for Ronald McDonald House Charities event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N1rXRlwZow
