On Monday April 29th the 8th grade class will be visiting Mohawk Valley Community College for a college visit. We will depart from the Jr./Sr. High School at 9am and approximately return to school at 1:45pm. Upon return, students will report to their 9th period class. Students will learn valuable information about the college experience and all opportunities. All students’ lunches will be graciously provided by Mohawk Valley Community College. If there are any dietary restrictions or allergies, please inform the school nurse. The goal and purpose of this college visit is to continue career exploration and educate students on the various career paths that they can enter after graduating high school. If you have any questions or your child is unable to attend this field trip, please contact Mrs. Miller in the Counseling Office.

Tiffany Hammond is a talented author, writer, and advocate who graciously came to Cooperstown to share her latest book with the Kindergarten-2nd grade classes, “A Day With No Words.” She is a black woman with autism, a mother of two boys with autism, and a powerful storyteller. In the story, Tiffany depicts her son, Aidan and how he communicates without using his voice. She taught our students all about how words can be spoken in different ways and that being different is a unique and wonderful gift. Tiffany held a Q&A session after the reading and engaged the students in a brief discussion on her book and how to interact with those who are perceived as being different.

There will be a brief welcome in the cafeteria, followed by a question-and-answer session where 7th grade teachers will answer questions that are submitted via the QR Code. It is not required for you or your child to attend this event, however, it will provide an abundance of information to prepare for the junior high school. We look forward to seeing you on April 11th!
