Cooperstown CSD

The 5th grade Engineering Elves are hard at work during our holiday season of STEAM. The 5th grade STEAM club designed, built, and tested marble mazes. Students collected data to determine the best design and got to try their problem solving skills on each other’s designs. Next up is building the tallest ornament tree and then designing a “snowball” launcher.

The Freshmen class will be hosting a Jr.-Sr. High School pajama and candy cane competition from Tuesday December 19th through Thursday December 21st. All students can wear their pajamas for $1 and can purchase candy canes for $1. The grade that purchases the most candy canes and wears their pajamas is the winner of the competition!! Donations will collected in the main foyer in the morning before 1st period and during lunch.

The National Honors Society winter induction for students who have been selected for membership in the Cooperstown Jr. Sr. High School chapter of the National Honor Society will be held at the Jr.-Sr. High School Library on December 14th at 3pm. We would like to invite families of students being inducted to attend the induction ceremony! 

In keeping with the holiday themes of giving and gratitude, the Cooperstown Central School Service Unit is giving $250.00 to each of our two local Food Pantries. The Cooperstown Food Pantry is currently running a “Matching Campaign”, which turned the $250.00 Service Unit donation into a $500.00 donation! Kudos to our National Honor Society students who delivered the check and then helped unload a truck from the Regional Food Bank. It is especially important during the holiday season to support our local nonprofits. Every act of kindness and generosity will make our community healthier and happier. Please give generously this year!

On Thursday November 30th a group of National Honor Society students, Violet Gentles, Margret Raffo, Fin Morgan, Srikar Ketharaju and Onyx Loewenguth. Not pictured Lucy Hayes, she is taking the picture, took time to volunteer at the local food pantry. 

These 4 Cooperstown swimmers pictured left to right, Brendan Heavner, Theo Fuery, London Kinley and Creighton Williams were walking from CCS to Danny's on Main Street for a meal before a recent swim meet. On their way they came across a senior gentleman on the ground in a grassy area in the village. He had fallen, he was possibly injured, confused and quite cold. These young men provided assistance and helped him back home. One was calling 911, others were making sure he was okay. They certainly displayed two of the 4 "C's" of a Cooperstown athlete, "C" oopererative and "C" lassy with this act of kindness.

The transition from preschool to kindergarten can be a time of excitement but it can also be a source of anxiety. Transitions are made easier when families and providers understand the process. This workshop will help participants to understand the transition process, to be an active member of the transition team, to understand the difference between services in CPSE and CSE, and to understand the purpose of an IEP. Parents will come away from this workshop with a better understanding of what to expect as their children move on to kindergarten. Wednesday, December 13th 12:00pm- 1:30pm Online via Zoom Register at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cpse-to-cse-for-families-tickets-740097961927?aff=oddtdtcreator
