This week, Mrs. Doolittle’s CFHS art students visited Mrs. Sickler's classroom at CFE for a special project. First-grade students had recently created drawings of their own unique monsters.

In February our fourth-grade students participated in an Ag in the Classroom with Cornell Cooperative Extension, where they learned about foods eaten during colonial times.

While visiting the classrooms, students learned about the difference between therapy dogs, guide dogs and rescue dogs. Students were able to ask Mrs. Jones questions about Phoebe and learn how a therapy dog can help someone who is feeling anxious or nervous.
A big thank you to Mrs. Jones and Phoebe for spending time with our students!
