Several individuals also earned podium spots in their divisions. Elliana Kropp took first place in the girls' Elementary Division. Auggie Rodbourn was 2nd in the boys' Elementary Division. Kathryn Hyer earned second place in the Middle School Girls Division. In the High School Girls Division, Alexiah Saltsman took first place and Kinslie Dyjak 3rd place.
Help us wish the Archery Team luck as they prepare for the New York State Tournament on March 14th!
Mobile Planetarium
Thanks to Mrs. Anne Almekinder from GST BOCES, students in grades PreK-12 got to enjoy a mobile planetarium this week. Mrs. Almekinder picked up this 80 lb. piece of equipment from the Science Center and brought it to our school to lead our students through a great lesson on the constellations and planets.
Thank you for leading another great learning experience with our students, Mrs. Almekinder!
Attendance Matters
Consider this - according to the Center for School and Student Progress, “preliminary research suggests that students who miss 5% or more of the prior academic year start the following school year at significant academic disadvantages compared to students with minimal to no absences in the prior year.”

Athletics Update
Cheer Champs!
Last weekend, the modified cheer team won first place at the Wayland-Cohocton cheer competition. They also hit zero, which means they had zero deductions in their routine!
Alanna Campbell also won the jump off for modified division, and the squad tried the stunt off for their division and got 1st-3rd place!
Great job, Titans! Keep working hard!
