Did you know February is National Bird-Feeding Month? First grade students and some very special guests in Mrs. Adler’s class at Smith Clove, got a jump on the celebration by making their own bird feeders. The class read The Winter Bird, which explains how some birds don’t migrate and must stay through the cold winter, learning to find food in harsh conditions. The story also teaches a great lesson about adapting to change, something these first graders are learning every day. 🐦❄️

Trout update from Mr. Amanatides and Mr. Fosstveit's MS classroom! The trout are growing fast, and so are students’ science skills. Students are tracking the trout population by dividing the tank into three sections and counting fish to estimate population size—real science in action! 💡
In October, students welcomed 200 Brown trout eggs into their classroom for the year. Students closely monitor water temperature, water clarity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia levels and pH to ensure the trouts' survival. Students experience the connections between trout, water resources, the environment, and themselves. The trout will be released into the wild in the spring months. More updates to follow! 🐟✨

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our district’s Buildings & Grounds, Custodial and Transportation teams who have been working around the clock to prepare our buildings for students and staff on Tuesday. Thanks to their hard work, parking lots and sidewalks are clear, buses are snow-free, and our schools are ready. We truly appreciate you!🙏💜
We also extend our thanks to the many town and village crews who have worked—and continue to work—tirelessly to ensure our local roads are clear and safe for travel. 🙏💪

Jacob Smith, a seventh grade student in MWMS’s Green House, is the first student to be recognized as Student of the Week. Each week, Green House selects students who show kindness and are good citizens. Jacob’s English teacher Mrs. Kirschenheiter said, “Jacob has shown to be kind, positive and works hard in the classroom. He even serves as a peer-tutor during his lunch periods and is a true pleasure to have in class.” This is the second year Mrs. Kirschenheiter won the PTA mini-grant which rewards deserving students each week. Way to go, Jacob! 🤩💜
