Accompanied by Mrs. Johnson, our grades 3-5 student leaders highlighted their recent projects, including making holiday cards for Veterans, collecting cold-weather items (hats, mittens, socks) for the Chenango Forks Holiday Basket Program, creating Valentine’s Day cards for community members and collaborating with administration on recess rooms.
It was wonderful to see our young leaders display the work they are doing in our community!


Congratulations to the Chenango Forks students accepted into the BCMEA All County 5-6 Chorus!

Our Middle School Ag students recently visited our elementary students to share stories they have been writing. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students of different ages to connect and share their writing and creativity with each other.

The CFE library recently had a wonderful visit from our 4th grade reading buddies who came to spend time with our PreK students. Our 4th grade readers showed incredible patience and kindness while reading to our youngest learners. They engaged the PreK students by making their books interactive, bringing smiles and laughter to our PreK students, while helping foster a love for books and reading. The 4th grade students also served as fantastic role models. They built relationships with the younger students, while also boosting their own confidence as readers. We can't wait to have them back for another opportunity to connect and learn together!






Thank you to Mrs. Masters' class for leading our Rise and Shine Assembly today for our PreK-2nd grade students. We would also like to thank Erin Sarandis from Animal Adventure for being our special guest today. Erin shared with us details about her career at Animal Adventure. Congratulations to our students who are "Leading The Way" this week!

The CFE fifth-grade band and chorus students put on a wonderful performance at their Winter Concert Wednesday evening! The chorus sang four songs, with their final number, “The Fox” leaving a smile on the faces of both the students and the audience! The band played two songs, and it was a very impressive performance, as most students have only had 10-11 lessons since beginning with their instruments!
Thank you, Mr. Allport and Mr. Tellerday for guiding our students on their musical journey!

CFE classrooms were full of joy when Santa made a surprise visit! Students chatted with him about their favorite cookie flavors, talked about sprinkling reindeer food, and even got Santa to join a P.E. class











Our CFE students kicked off Winter Recess in the best way possible- with our annual Holiday Sing-Along! Everyone joined in to sing holiday classics, and the fun continued with an exciting game of "Name That Tune" led by Mrs. Birch and Mrs. Young.
And of course, no holiday celebration is complete without a visit from the one and only Santa Claus!











Spreading holiday cheer! Students at CFE made holiday cards for residents at the Oxford Veterans Home and Willow Point Nursing Home! Student council representative Audra Brooks made a special delivery of beautiful cards, reminding everyone that they are loved and appreciated.



This week CFE First grade students took the stage for the Holidays Around the World assembly. Each class shared the rich traditions and customs of countries like France, Italy, Israel, and Mexico.
Each student participated in the presentations, which included songs and dances. It was a wonderful way to spread joy, culture, and holiday cheer.











Excitement was in the air at CFE’s recent Rise and Shine assemblies! Our students have been crushing their RAY (Read All Year) reading goals, turning in their logs, and have reached their first milestone of minutes read!
To celebrate, Mrs. Birch showed her bravery by taking a pie to the face—much to the delight of our cheering students! The auditorium was filled with laughter and joy as the reward unfolded.
Way to go, CFE readers! Keep up the amazing work and we can't wait to see what goals you achieve next!







Thank you to Mr. Flannery for leading our Rise and Shine Assembly today for our 3rd through 5th grade students. The focus of this assembly was on teaching students how to stand up for themselves if they are being bullied. Congratulations to our students who are "Leading The Way" this week!


Today, it was Kindergarten's turn to spread some holiday cheer! Families gathered at CFE this morning for a joyful holiday sing-along, where our Kindergarten students delivered performances of holiday favorites like Frosty the Snowman and Must Be Santa. It was a wonderful morning of music and festive fun enjoyed by all!
