"The JV basketball team won their first game of the season last night. They beat Argyle 57-44 in a non-league game. Ashton Wright lead the team with 18 points. Many players contributed on the offensive end last night. It was a great way to start the season. Thank you to all the fans who came out to support this team on opening night!!" Congratulations, JV Riverhawks! We wish you a great season!

Winter sports are off to a great start! Our Girls Varsity Basketball Team kicked off their season with a win! Here are highlights from Coach Hoertkorn:
"The Varsity girls basketball team picked up a non- league win over an improved Galway team last night. It was a great team effort, especially on the defensive end. Whitney Cameron led all scorers with 18 points, while adding 6 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Riley Dumas showed great leadership and composure, especially on the defensive end communicating and helping our younger players. She also had 3 assists and 2 steals.
Chloe Hall, Isabella Craig, and Kenadee Flint all had their first Varsity baskets, and stepped up huge on the defensive end.
Taylor Stone and Caitlyn Crossman were huge inside for us making adjustments when necessary. Caitlyn also had 9 rebounds, and did the little things to help us maintain possession or force a Galway turnover.
We are so proud of the team getting their first win, and being able to handle the pressure in a close game. Our next game is Monday 12/4 at Northville."
Way to go, Lady Riverhawks!!

Our 4th grade team facilitated a very exciting interactive learning presentation: Birds of Prey!
"The fourth grade students were able to learn about birds of prey, how to keep themselves and injured animals safe, adaptations, and what to look for in our surroundings. We were able to view and learn about the Screech Owl, Alpa Medo Falcon, Barred Owl, Vulture, and the Eurasian Tiger Owl. Trish and Dave were wonderful presenters."

Our CCSD Hiking Club had a great fall hike up Potash Mountain this weekend!

Mr. Citro's Physics students were recently testing the principles of 2 Dimensional Kinematics. The goal is to hit a target with a marble using data collection principles and experimental design. Then, place a target on the floor and give it a shot for a quiz grade. They are not allowed to shoot until they place their target. We had one group get a 100 on their first try. Many groups were successful.

Our CHS students enrolled in our college Spanish course recently wrapped up a cultural unit that culminated in projects and presentations in the language. Here are some highlights from Señora Mullin:
"After studying the Day of the Dead holiday and how it is celebrated in Mexico, each Spanish 102 student had to create a memorial and digital presentation to remember a person in their family, a friend, animal or famous person that has passed away. They then had to create an altar to honor the person or pet they chose. The altar demonstrated their understanding of what is typically found on Mexican altars for the Day of the Dead.
They finished the project presenting their presentations and altars to the class all in Spanish. They did an amazing job, I am very proud of the effort they put into the project as a whole."
