Chenango Forks Chronicle | November 2026 Edition

Dear Chenango Forks Families,

As we enter November, we invite our school community to pause, show gratitude, and set clear goals for the weeks ahead as we approach the end of the first academic quarter.

Across Forks Nation, we are proud to emphasize our Character Education and Leadership Habit of the Month: “Begin with the End in Mind.” This principle encourages students to establish a clear vision of success before embarking on any endeavor—whether planning an academic project, preparing for upcoming musical performances, or competing on the athletic field.

October brought fantastic community spirit to our campus! Thank you to everyone who supported our annual Pumpkin Run, Running with the Devils event and joined in our memorable Homecoming Weekend. Special thanks also go to our football program for honoring the New York Special Olympics during their October benefit game.

That community momentum has fueled an extraordinary fall sports season. Postseason action is underway, and Forks Nation is thrilled to celebrate three Section IV Championships already secured, and hopefully more on the way, as playoffs continue for other teams! We congratulate our student-athletes and coaches and look forward to cheering them on as playoff runs continue.

Our new Aquatics Center is now fully operational across all levels! Following a remarkable inaugural home season for our Girls Varsity Swim and Dive team, high school physical education swimming units are launching this month. In addition, community open swim nights continue this month, and be on the lookout for morning lap swim opportunities to start this month.

Thank you, Forks Nation, for your partnership and school spirit. Together, we continue to build “A Community Where All Learners Grow and Excel!”

Tom Burkhardt, Superintendent
