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!

Attention, Corinth Senior Citizens! You are cordially invited to a special event: Dinner and a Show on Wednesday, March 6th! Join us for the dress rehearsal of the drama production at CES beginning at 4:30. Reservations are required. Please see the flyer for details!
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!

Last week, National Guard Presenters, Tony DeSena, Specialist Matt Clark and Sergeant Ryan Schyberg, spent some time with Mrs. Fay's business students conducting mock interviews.
Students were asked a series of questions by an interview panel that they would expect to be asked at a real job interview. Students had time to prepare prior to the interview, practiced body language and etiquette, supporting our CDOS (Career Development and Occupational Studies) standards. Thank you to the National Guard for your commitment over the years as a community partner in education.

The Corinth MS/HS Drama Department is proud to present our production of The Play That Goes Wrong on March 8th, 9th and 10th. Show times are 6:30pm on Friday and Saturday and 1:30pm on Sunday. All shows will be held at the Corinth Elementary School stage.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors/students (children under 5 are free). Tickets can be purchased at the door, which will open at 5:45pm for the evening shows and 12:45 for the Sunday matinee.
The Play Goes Wrong is a classic “whodunit story.” There has been a murder at Haversham Manor and the inspector is set on the case to find out whodunit. However, when the plot is given to our accident-prone thespians, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong in this hilarious production. Come and join us for an evening of laughs as the Corinth Middle/High School Drama Department presents The Play that Goes Wrong. We hope to see you there!

Our Girls Varsity Basketball team had a big win on Saturday evening! Coach Hoertkorn shared game highlights:
"The Varsity girls basketball team beat Catskill Saturday night in the first round of sectionals. It was a total team effort against an athletic Catskill team.
Taylor Stone had a great game on both sides of the ball and had a double double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Emily Dingmon also had a double double with 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, often turning a rebound into transition for us, always looking down the floor for her teammates.
Whitney Cameron followed with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 4 steals, and 4 assists. Whitney was very aggressive getting to the basket last night and taking care of the basketball against Catskill’s press.
Riley Dumas and Kenadee Flint did a great job on both ends last night as well, limiting Catskill’s shooters and helping handle the ball when necessary.
It was a great win for the team, and every player on the team contributed, and have been all season. I am so proud of what this group has accomplished, and continues to strive for, even through any adversities. Thank you so much to everyone who came to the game, and have supported all season. It was a great atmosphere, and we appreciate it so much! Our next game is Wednesday against Mechanicville at 6pm in Greenville!"
We are excited to cheer on our Lady Riverhawks tonight in the sectional game on the road. At this time, we have not confirmed a livestream link. If we learn of a link, we will post on our social media!

Dear CCSD Families,
This week our school community is focusing on the character strength of Love. Love means you value close relationships with others and being close to people.
The character strength of love represents the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people with whom we have close relationships. When one person loves another person, that person: comforts and makes the other feel safe; sacrifices on the other’s behalf; supports the other during struggles; and places the others' needs ahead of their own. If you love a person, that person makes you feel safe and secure. You can be yourself with that person. You miss that person when they are not around.
On a group level, love is vital for the wellbeing of society. The world is endlessly interconnected. We are all dependent upon each other for survival and happiness. Love produces positive feelings, which help negate loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Without love, we cannot form strong relationships with our families, friends, or communities. A world without love is a dangerous world.
To practice and encourage the character strength of love 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!
Check out a few photos of our Kindergarten and 4th graders creating Valentine crafts to express their love!

Our Varsity Girls BB team notched another win last night! Coach Hoertkorn shared game highlights:
"The Varsity girls basketball team finished the regular season with a non- league win over Hudson Falls last night. The girls have been working so hard to get ready for sectionals and improve every game.
Emily Dingmon had another great all around game, finishing with a double double of 22 points, a very impressive 23 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 assists.
Whitney Cameron had a great game on both sides of the ball finishing with 13 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals. She did a great job managing the offense against an aggressive Hudson Falls team.
Riley Dumas, Taylor Stone, Caitlyn Crossman, and Isabella Craig were also great on both sides of the ball, disrupting what Hudson Falls wanted to do on offense. Isabella and Caitlyn combined for 12 points and 9 steals as well. Caitlyn added 6 rebounds, and has been such a strong rebounder for us all season. Taylor also added 4 points and 9 rebounds.
This team continues to find ways to improve every day, and have done such a great job to get to this point heading into sectionals. The seeding meeting is this Wednesday."
We look forward to cheering our Riverhawks on in the post season. Stay tuned for announcements for upcoming games!

Thank you to our CES PTSA for sponsoring the "Sweetheart Dance" for our UPK, 1st and 2nd grader students and one special adult guest! Students enjoyed treats, danced with their teachers/guests and socialized with their friends. A great time was had by all in attendance!
Exciting news from our CCSD Music Department:
Last weekend, several members of our CCSD Music Department participated in the Saratoga Warren County Music Educator's Association (SWCMEA) All County Band Festival at Galway High School.
Congratulations to 10-12 Band participants, Sydney Crombach (tenor sax), David Eddy (trombone) and Degan Reynolds (French horn); 8/9 Band participants, Parker Duerr-Clark (clarinet) and Tristan Lozier (tenor sax); and Abram Byron (trombone), Ben Dishon (percussion) Lylah Dishon (alto sax), Grady Juk (bass clarinet and Annabell O’Brien (trombone) on their acceptance and participation in this year's festival.
These students learned their music with Mrs. Crombach and Miss Lueck during lessons and afterschool over the past few weeks and came together with other top musicians from Saratoga and Warren County to rehearse on Thursday evening and on Saturday morning that culminated in 2pm concert. Students are selected for SWCMEA All County Band based on their participation scores from the prior year's NYSSMA Solo festivals and teacher recommendation. Congratulations on an outstanding performance!

A shout out to our 3rd grade students who recently read about space travel, wrote opinion essays on the topic and then created dioramas to support their writing. They incorporated skills learned in art class in their creations! Great job, Riverhawks!
