Students had a wonderful time visiting the library during the CFE Open House. One of the highlights was the special “Shelfie Station”, a photo spot where students and their families could take pictures next to their favorite shelf or book.
With fun signs and pictures of beloved book characters, the station was full of smiles, laughter, and lots of literary excitement! We loved that so many families stopped by to share in the joy of reading and celebrate our library together.
We can’t wait for more fun adventures with books this year!

Last week, the CFE library was filled with smiles and stories as Fourth Grade Reading Buddies visited Pre-K! The older students took time to read picture books to our youngest learners, helping spark a love of reading and building new friendships along the way. It was a heartwarming moment of mentorship and literacy in action, we’re so proud of our thoughtful and caring fourth grade students!

We are thrilled to announce the new murals that have recently been painted in the CFE Library!
Artists: Recent graduate Shawn Aldrich and current grade 10 Jaylynn Martinez shared their time and talents this summer.
Theme: They beautifully brought some of our students’ favorite characters to life on the walls of the library. They will also help direct students to some of their favorite books.
The new artwork has transformed the grades 3 - 5 side of the library into a more inviting space, encouraging students to explore and enjoy their reading adventures.

More summer fun at Chenango Forks Elementary!
Our students have been busy exploring the great outdoors during Summer Enrichment! From nature walks and scavenger hunts to identifying local species, they’ve been learning how to care for themselves and the earth.
A recent highlight was a visit from Danielle Wood, retired teacher and wildlife rehabber from All Creatures Great and Small. Danielle introduced us to some of her rescued animals, including a few amazing tortoises, and shared how her nonprofit organization helps injured and orphaned wildlife.
She reminded us: If you see an animal in need, don’t touch, call a trained rehabber or the DEC. Protect wildlife by keeping trails clean, respecting their habitats, and observing from a distance.
It’s been a wonderful way to connect with nature and learn how to protect the world around us!
