In the year 2000, Chenango Forks Middle School students and staff buried a time capsule to commemorate the start of a new millennium.
25 years later, in June 2025, current students and staff, along with some of our retired CFMS staff, came together to unearth this special piece of history!
Take a look at memories that were discovered inside! https://youtu.be/Tns5vQCx7kY

To celebrate a fantastic year, the CFMS Health Club took a field trip to Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville, NY! Students learned about the park’s unique meromictic lake, known for its crystal Caribbean blue color, before spending the day hiking, swimming, picnicking, playing kickball, spending time on the playground, and relaxing on the beach.
We wrapped up the day with a stop at The Scoop in Whitney Point for some ice cream! A huge thank you to Mrs. Shoudy and Mrs. Paludi for leading such a fun and enriching year. We can’t wait for another great year with the Health Club!
