This week CFE First grade students took the stage for the Holidays Around the World assembly. Each class shared the rich traditions and customs of countries like France, Italy, Israel, and Mexico.
Each student participated in the presentations, which included songs and dances. It was a wonderful way to spread joy, culture, and holiday cheer.
Excitement was in the air at CFE’s recent Rise and Shine assemblies! Our students have been crushing their RAY (Read All Year) reading goals, turning in their logs, and have reached their first milestone of minutes read!
To celebrate, Mrs. Birch showed her bravery by taking a pie to the face—much to the delight of our cheering students! The auditorium was filled with laughter and joy as the reward unfolded.
Way to go, CFE readers! Keep up the amazing work and we can't wait to see what goals you achieve next!
Thank you to Mr. Flannery for leading our Rise and Shine Assembly today for our 3rd through 5th grade students. The focus of this assembly was on teaching students how to stand up for themselves if they are being bullied. Congratulations to our students who are "Leading The Way" this week!
Today, it was Kindergarten's turn to spread some holiday cheer! Families gathered at CFE this morning for a joyful holiday sing-along, where our Kindergarten students delivered performances of holiday favorites like Frosty the Snowman and Must Be Santa.

Yesterday Mrs. Marvin's class awarded Mrs. Marbles Pre-K class with their classroom "moose on the loose"! Their moose friend sat quietly in class and kept an eye on the students during their learning and activities for the day. At the end of the day, he reported his findings back to Mrs. Mavin's third grade class. He was a fun addition to the Pre-K classroom!
The CFE Student Council made an incredible impact with their first community outreach program! Students organized a collection of winter gear, including hats, fuzzy socks, and gloves, all to contribute to the CF Holiday Basket program. We are so proud of our students for supporting those in need within their school community.
Chenango Forks Elementary students participated in a Thanksgiving balloon parade, inspired by the book Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet. Students created their own balloons to parade through the halls of CFE, which were decorated with student artwork to represent the skyline of New York City. A big thank you to Mrs. Weir and Mrs. Dvorsky for organizing this wonderful event!
Congratulations to Clio Brennan, a talented first grader from CFE, for winning second place in the grades K-2 category of the 2024 National Chemistry Week Illustrated Poem Contest!

Last week, our first-grade students visited the Chenango Schoolhouse Museum. Built in 1846, this one-room schoolhouse, still mostly original, gave our young learners a glimpse of what it was like to attend school over 175 years ago.
The CFE Robotics Club just completed its first session with fourth and fifth grade members. Over the last eight weeks, they explored Sphero robots, Edison, and Ozobots. Club members worked collaboratively to code these robots to perform various tasks mirroring engineering design. During the final club meeting, guest engineers from CAE, Kim Michael and John Cemay, came to speak to the students about hardware, software, and aerospace engineering. They captured their audience by sharing personal experiences and answering numerous questions from club members. The club looks forward to bringing similar experiences to additional students this school year!
On Thursday, November 21, Mrs. Masters, Mrs. McBreen, and nineteen fourth and fifth grade students traveled to Broome-Tioga BOCES to participate in Engineering Day. The students worked in small teams to plan, design, test, and redesign a functional Rube Goldberg machine using everyday items such as marbles, dominoes, cardboard, tubes, clay, and more! While designing and building the machine, each team shared the same end goal which was to ring a bell. It was a day full of brainstorming, collaboration, and celebration!
CFE Student Council had its first meeting on Thursday, November 21st! Students were so motived to get started, they wanted to help out with the holiday baskets!
If you’re out shopping this holiday season and would like to donate, the CF Elementary Student Council would gladly accept donations. Donation boxes can be found at either entrance of the elementary building (near the main office and/or Hearts & Hands) or they can be sent in with your child (boxes are in the classrooms).
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Thank you to Mr. McMullen for leading our Rise and Shine Assembly today for students in grades 3-5.
