The CF French Club's first day in Montreal was wonderful! They saw AURA, had an amazing dinner at a steakhouse in Vieux Montréal, and took le métro to their hotel!
CFE students had an exciting surprise at their Rise and Shine Assembly this afternoon! Students have been working hard on their RAY (Reading All Year) logs, and today they earned a fun surprise for reaching their next goal of minutes spent reading.
The students were thrilled when a very brave Mrs. Young had to kiss a pig!
We are so proud of our students reading efforts this year- keep up the great work!
Our CFE first grade students celebrated the upcoming Earth Day in a special way—with a Book Swap! With the help of their families, students selected gently used books from home that they no longer read and were ready to share with a new reader. For every book they brought in, they received a “book buck” to spend at our book swap!
Students had a blast shopping for “new-to-them” books, all while caring for our planet by passing on books they no longer read!
REMINDER: Thursday, April 17 will be a half day for all CF school and there is NO SCHOOL Friday, April 18 - Friday. April 25 due to Spring Recess.

Today students from the Chenango Forks Middle and High school competed in the 14th Annual Southern Tier Robotics Competition held at SUNY Broome Community College.
The competition challenged students to create custom built robots capable of completing various “real” life tasks facing “real” life robots! Students honed their mechanical engineering skills to create frames, drivetrains, and lifting mechanisms. Electrical engineering, coding, and computer science skills were integral to create the seamless interaction of sensors, microcontrollers, and electric motors.
Our students worked very hard on their robots, and it showed in their performance! Highlights include:
First-Place finish by Hayden Hills in the Large Swept Away
First-Place finish by Sam Scofield in King of the Ring
Second-Place finish by Amir Brown and Nate Schieve in Small Swept Away
As a district, Chenango Forks placed Second in the overall team standings! Congratulations to all of our student participants and to Mr. Ramsden and Mr. Niemiec for guiding our future engineers!
Former Health Club student and CFHS 10th grade student Anna Nottingham was recently invited to present to the current CFMS Health Club students about her business, Anna Banana’s Sweet Treats!

The CFMS Builder Club stirred up something amazing this week!
Our team participated in the CHOW Kids Can Build Challenge with an incredible creation: a giant KitchenAid mixer titled "Stirring Up Support for CHOW."
Made from 2,412 cans weighing a total of 2,091 pounds, this impressive build was designed to raise awareness and support for CHOW’s mission to fight hunger in our community.
Every element of the design—from the detailed structure to the precise calculations—was imagined and brought to life by our talented team of students.
