CMS 6th graders visit the Capital of NYS!
Our sixth graders traveled to Albany this week to meet with state leaders and learn more about how our government works. Students had the opportunity to speak with Senator Tedisco and Assemblyman Simpson, ask questions and enjoy a guided tour of the beautiful Capitol and its legislative chambers where the Senate and Assembly conduct business.
To show their appreciation, students presented both officials with Riverhawk posters thanking them for their service, modeling this week’s social-emotional learning theme: GRATITUDE!
The field trip also included a visit to the 9/11 exhibit at the NYS Museum where students learned more about the history of our state and country. It was a powerful and meaningful experience that deepened their understanding of this important moment in American history.
We are proud of our 6th graders for their safe, respectful and responsible behavior as well as for asking thoughtful questions during their visit.
A big shout-out to our sixth-grade team and Mr. Testani for facilitating this hands-on learning experience, fostering civic engagement and helping prepare our students to become informed, contributing citizens.
Thank you to Senator Jim Tedisco and Assemblyman Matt Simpson for welcoming our students and staff, helping to make this an exceptional field trip!

Inspired by the legendary Bob Ross, Mr. Waring's 8th grade artists embraced their inner painters to capture the beauty of nature on canvas.
Using Bob Ross’s iconic techniques, from painting “happy little trees” to creating serene mountain landscapes, students explored how color, brushwork, and atmosphere can bring a scene to life. Great job, students!

Mrs. Flint’s UPK students recently wrapped up their science learning about hibernation! To celebrate the end of their unit, they enjoyed a Pajama and Bear Day, where students tucked their bears in for “hibernation,” proudly demonstrating what they learned about how animals survive the winter.
This hands-on experience supports the NYS P–2 Science Learning Standards which guide young learners in observing how animals use their behaviors and environments to meet their needs.
Our youngest scientists were so excited to share their favorite bears and show off their snazzy PJs. What a fun and cozy way to bring science to life!

We are proud to share that Conley Baldwin has been recognized by Sweethearts and Heroes in their student spotlight for demonstrating the core values of Sweethearts & Heroes by giving HOPE (supporting and uplifting others) and taking action , being a force for positive change.
From the Sweethearts and Heroes social media:
"STUDENT SPOTLIGHT - Conley Baldwin has climbed mountains daily for about 12 years, so is it surprising that his next challenge literally involves them? The Corinth High School (NY) freshman was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 2, but it hasn’t defined or limited him. He’s an honors student, an athlete and “a genuine source of inspiration to those around him,” his nominator said. “To say Conley is inspiring is an understatement. He truly embodies the title of ‘Sweetheart & Hero,’ making a meaningful and positive impact on his school, his community and the world.” Conley is a role model for his peers in Corinth, and now he’s emerged as a motivational speaker, sharing his journey at conferences hosted by Breakthrough T1D Upstate New York — first in middle school and again this fall. Conley also participates in Type 1 Alpine Adventures and set a goal to snowboard 30,000 vertical feet at 20 different peaks, from New York to Vermont, to raise funds and awareness for Type 1 diabetes. “His determination, spirit and commitment to helping others demonstrate a maturity well beyond his years,” his nominator said. Step into the Student Spotlight, Conley Baldwin! You deserve it! "

Grade 2 Scientists at Work!
Our second graders explored weathering last week through a hands-on investigation that helped them see how wind, water and ice can slowly break down rocks and shape the Earth’s surface.
Students observed, compared and recorded the changes they noticed, acting just like real scientists! Their work aligns with the New York State P–12 Science Learning Standards including:
Science & Engineering Practices:
✓ Making observations
✓ Recording data
✓ Describing patterns
✓ Collaborating with peers during an investigation
Our young learners loved discovering how the world around them is constantly changing! The photos say it all! (Thank you to Ms. Winters for the great photos! More photos on Facebook!)

Dear CCSD Families,
Over these next two weeks, our school community will focus on the character strength of Gratitude. Gratitude means being aware of and grateful for good things that happen.
Gratitude is about feeling and showing thankfulness. It helps us see the good in others and in the world. People with gratitude are ready to appreciate and return kindness. Expert Robert Emmons says gratitude strengthens relationships because it makes us recognize how others support us.
Out of all 24 character strengths, gratitude is the single best predictor of individual well-being. It is linked to more energy, empathy, happiness, and optimism. The good news is that gratitude can be practiced and strengthened like a muscle. The more we practice it, the more benefits we get.
To practice and encourage this strength at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families:

CHS Students Set the Bar High for Physical Fitness!
During the month of October, our high school physical education classes completed a series of physical fitness assessments. Each test carried a point value. At the end of the unit, Coach Bowe and Coach Minholz totaled the scores to identify the top performers in each grade. We recognized the top five girls and boys at every grade level, posting their scores in the locker rooms and gym. Each of these students also received a shirt to celebrate their achievements.
We are proud of all of our high school students for their outstanding effort and dedication throughout this unit. Thank you for your hard work and serving as role models for your peers!
