Your personal zodiac animal sign is determined by your year of birth, meaning 2024 will welcome plenty of baby dragons to the world!

COINS FOR KINDNESS: Chenango Forks will be participating in the “Super Cooper Coins for Kindness Fundraiser” this month. This is definitely going to be a chance for us all to practice habit #4- “Think win-win!”
For those who may not know, Cooper Busch, a 4-year-old from Chenango Bridge, lost his battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in May of 2018. Cooper’s family has kept his legacy alive by starting the organization “Super Cooper Saves the Day.” The organization helps other families that are or were impacted by childhood cancer. Every year, they look for ways to give back to local school districts to honor Cooper’s Legacy. They have had special events held and given gifts to the Chenango Forks’ Kindergarten Program over the past 3 years.
We are going to have collection containers throughout the district for coin collections to help support all the wonderful things this organization does for local families and children. We will be letting our families and community know through a blast email, social media, and the CFE students will receive a paper reminder about this fundraiser. The fundraiser will run from February 12th- 23rd. Each building will let you know where these containers will be located!
Each week there will be a different “theme” to encourage participation in this fundraiser.
Week 1- “Kindly Clean for Cooper,” students and families will be encouraged to “clean out” their cars, homes, couches…. Looking for loose change to donate.
Week 2- “Friends and Families,” collect loose change from friends and family to donate.
We will be having another “friendly” contest this year with CFE VS MS & HS to see which side of the campus raise the most money for the organization! The prize for the winners will be bragging rights and the intrinsic reward of knowing how they have helped children across Broome County!
Thank you in advance for helping this come to fruition and for encouraging your students, colleagues, and community to collect and donate their coins!
Here is a short video you may want to show your students about Cooper and the “Super Cooper Saves the Day Organization.”
