Back to o School

We have had an incredible start to the school year. Our staff had their annual Staff Day on Sept. 2nd where we spent time preparing for the start of the year and participating in professional development. In the afternoon, we took a tour around the community in a “teacher car parade” where we threw candy, held signs and welcomed our students for the start of the year!

On Sept. 3rd, we started the first half of the day with a modified schedule for both Elementary and Secondary, allowing them to see all of their teachers and attend all of their classes. We then had lunch followed by an afternoon of bouncy houses, cotton candy, and popcorn. We implemented our new cell phone policy where phones are locked away from the start of the day to the end of the day. Students are doing an awesome job with this!!! It’s great to see them all chatting and interacting with each other! A great way to start the school year!

We had our Back to School BBQ on Friday September 12th. This year we collaborated with the Minerva Historical Society and the PTO to create a community forward event. Various community organizations set up tables, shared items, and had fun games for all! Thank you to everyone who made this such a successful evening of school and community! Thank you to our 3rd Grade Teacher Ms. Faith Gaddis who serenaded us for the evening as well.

Student Activities

Our elementary students have been treated to two special music performances: Segal Opera came to MCS to perform for PK-6 and our friends from Newcomb, PK-6 then traveled to Tannery Pond to watch the Silent Opera “Snow White” accompanied by an instrumental ensemble. Our high school students were provided the opportunity to hear from Mr. Tim Reynolds, a graduate from Indian Lake Central School when he was only 15 years old, who now works for the Associated Press and has covered Olympic Games and the Miami Heat. He spoke to them about how coming from a small school can actually provide so many opportunities because here they are not just a number, they make connections with teachers and staff, they have support, and everyone wants them to succeed. The Wildlife Management class visited the Fish Hatchery in Warrensburg and our Seniors spent a day touring SUNY Adirondack.
