David P. Gill Superintendent

Message from the superintendentDear CV Community,

This is the graduation issue of the district newsletter, so I will focus my comments on our graduating seniors. I am so proud of the graduating Class of 2015! Each graduating class is unique. Members of the Class of 2015 impressed me with their work ethic and how strongly they believed in giving back to their community. These students are hard-working, kind and respectful, and have set high standards for the classes following in their footsteps. When I look at each of their plans for the future, it makes me proud of the role Chenango Valley has played in shap-ing their lives. Many students are heading to higher education. Some are entering the military, and others are join-ing the work force. My hope is that we have prepared each of them for an exciting, bright future. As I see my own youngest daughter graduate and move on to the next phase of her life, it reinforces to me the importance of time – how precious it is and how often it is wasted. I challenge each of us to appreciate time – time with family, time with friends, time spent reading or engaged in good conversation, time appreciating what we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have, and most importantly, time to enjoy life and appreciate that we are the CV community!

I do want to take time to thank our CV community -- our students, staff, parents, and residents. By working together, we continue to make great strides in living out our mission to inspire, engage, and empower our students to be life-long learners and productive citizens. Our staff continues to work tirelessly to support our students, their families, and our community. Our students continue to impress us with their growth in learning and continued respectfulness and appreciation toward those supporting them. Our parents continue to support our initiatives with positive capital project, budget, and bus referendum votes. Our core belief that children are our first priority continues to guide our CV community.

Here’s wishing you a safe, relaxing, fun-filled summer!

Welcome new teachers

Congratulations to the Class of 2015, and to the parents who have helped and supported their children throughout their years at Chenango Valley. We wish our graduates the very best as they begin the next phase of their lives. As we move into summer, preparations for the 2015-16 school year are well underway. Our administrative staff is busy planning and updating programs and initiatives, our maintenance and cleaning crews are getting the school buildings and facilities in tip-top shape, and many of our teachers are engaging in professional development op-portunities. Work has begun on Phase 1 of our capital project. We are adding locking hardware on all classroom doors, new playground equipment at the elementary schools, and additional lockers in the middle school to accommodate the sixth-grade transition. On the athletic fields, site work has begun in preparation for the new multi-purpose field, which we expect will be

completed this fall. More information on the capital project is detailed on the next page of this Newscaster. Whether it’s in the classroom or on the playing field, we’re focused on continuous improvement to make Chenango Valley a better place for our community’s children. We wish you and your family a safe and enjoyable summer. We’ll see you in September!

Capital Improvements Project Update

On December 9, 2014, voters approved a capital improvements project that will address top priority maintenance repairs and improvements at the district. The project is scheduled to be completed in two phases. The fi rst phase of the project has been designed, approved by the State Education Department (SED), and is now moving into construction.

New playground equipment at Port Dickinson Elementary.

Port Dickinson Elementary - Multi-purpose room.

Middle/High School athletic fi eld site plan.

The project scope for Phase 1 consists of providing a softball fi eld and multi-purpose synthetic turf fi eld on the Depot property. The Depot is a parcel of land adja-cent to the CV athletic fi elds which was conveyed to the district by the federal government in December 2010, with the stipulation that the district utilize the property for athletic fi elds/educational programs. Other Phase 1 scope items include:• Adding additional lockers in the middle school for

the transition of the 6th grade to the middle school.• For security purposes, the door hardware on all

regularly occupied corridor doors is being replaced in the school buildings.

• New playground equipment at the Port Dickinson and Chenango Bridge Elementary schools.

We are anticipating that the lockers, playground, and door hardware work will be completed by the end of this summer. The athletic fi elds are anticipated to be completed in the fall.

Project design for Phase 2 is complete and is awaiting SED approval. We anticipate that construction for this phase will begin the summer of 2016.

2015 Mini Project Update

The 2015 Mini Project is underway and is cur-rently in the bidding phase. The project includes replacement of the auditorium control room, and middle school gymnasium lighting. If the bids come in favorably, team room lockers will also be replaced as part of this project.

Dear parents, teachers and staff, We are pleased to announce that a meeting will be held on September 15, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room at Port Dickinson Elementary School to finalize the organization of the Chenango Valley Elementary Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). This is a new combined PTA created by the merging of the Port Dickinson Elementary school and Chenango Bridge Elementary school PTAs. Through your involvement with the PTA, you can help strengthen the quality of life and education in the community. The PTA is a valuable link between home and school, providing both with important information benefiting your child/children. In this association, you join with parents, teachers, administrators, school board members and other citizens to enhance educational, health and safety, and cultural opportunities for every child. Representatives from the Southeastern Region and New York State PTA will be present to facilitate this meeting where we will vote on our charter, vote on our bylaws, elect our officers and accept charter memberships so that our PTA unit can begin operating immediately. Please come prepared with your membership dues ($5) so that our new PTA unit begins with a solid base from which to build on for the future. We must have 25 charter members present in order to move forward. The PTA is responsible for many of the events that students participate in each year, including the Sweetheart Dance, Mother-Son dance, PARP and guest author visits, Field Day, Holiday Sales, Scholastic Book Fairs and much more. We invite you to attend and take part in this special occasion and look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,

The Executive Boards of the Chenango Bridge and Port Dickinson PTA

The CV Food Pantry received a welcome donation of 3,000 diapers from a local non-profit organization that helps mothers and young families. Kim Plant, of Mothers & More Chapter 52, contacted Chenango Valley about making the donation after her group hosted a diaper drive that netted over 9,000 diapers.

One in three U.S. families struggles to afford diapers, and government assistance programs typically do not help to help pay for them. To help diminish this struggle, the Moth-ers & More local chapter hosted the diaper drive, “Make a Mother’s Day” April 12-25, collecting diaper donations at several Broome County Public Library locations.

The diapers were donated to CV’s Food Pantry and Catholic Charities.

Updates from your CV Athletic Club (CVAC)With our school year recently ending, the CV Athletic Club is preparing for another year. We’ll be continuing our monthly meetings over the summer and are in process of our member-ship drive and fall sports program development.

The all-season Warrior Pass option for membership is available again this year. This pass allows access to any regular season home game where an admission fee is charged – excluding playoff games (STAC/sectionals, etc.) or tournaments. When presented at the ticket booth, the Warrior Pass will allow ad-mission.

This past year, membership and fundraising activities allowed the club to support many financial requests, including girls lacrosse, boys tennis, and the new baseball scoreboard! This support also included non-athletic requests in an effort to as-sist our CV student community as well. We are proud that the club was able to continue the tradition of presenting a $250 award for each of four seniors.

Enclosed in this Newscaster is the membership form. Please take a moment to become a member. Your membership really does count – and we cannot support CV without your involvement and membership.

Lastly, there is a new board in place. For the 2015-2016 school year, the CVAC board members are:

Bill Phillips – President

Jennifer Morgan – co-Vice President

Meghan Morton – co-Vice President

Teresa Hatton – Secretary

April Rauscher – Treasurer

Harold Jones – Member at Large

Greg Beagell – Member at Large

Have a great summer!

Zach Wyatt earned a birth on the Section IV state team by shooting rounds of 83 and 75 in the Medalist Tournament at Cornell University’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Course May 14 and 16. Zach’s round of 75 was the low round in all of Section IV. He finished tied for 4th place in Sec-tion IV after this medalist tournament.

Zach is only the third player in CV history to make the NYS Section IV team. In the first round at the state tournament, Zach fired a solid round of 79 to put him in the top 30. In the second round, he shot an 84, which put him in 48th place out of the top 99 golfers in New York State after completing 36 holes of golf.

Earlier in the season, Zach won the DiNunzio Tournament which had every STAC golfer in the field, shooting a round of 73. Zach was a three-year STAC All-Star and will be attending St. Vincent College in PA, where he will playing golf for the college team.

Arts & Music

The CVHS Mixed Choir earned the New York State School Music Association Gold Award, signifying “an outstanding level of technical and artistic skill” based on its performance at the NYSSMA Major Organization Festival held at Oneonta High School on May 19. Choruses are judged on a variety of criteria, including tone, intonation, diction, vocal technique, and artistic interpretation of the music. The choir was complimented on its “tone, blend and balance, spirited performance and outstanding soloists.” The judges also noted the variety of musical selections, and the large size of the performing group. One judge comment-ed that if Chenango Valley’s Choir was an indication, choral music is thriving in this part of New York State! Congratula-tions to Mrs. Buhl and her students!

Triple Scoop of Thanks! The BaCh of CV and the music department extend their thanks to the CV community for supporting the 23rd Annual Ice Cream Social and Band Concert. The beautiful sunny weather was a perfect backdrop for a fun-filled evening of music and ice cream treats. CV families and friends relaxed on the back lawn of the high school and enjoyed the performance provided by the very talented students in the CBE fifth and sixth-grade combined Concert Band, the Middle School Band and the High School Concert Band.

A TRIPLE SCOOP OF THANKS goes out to the organizers, the hard-working volunteers, those who contributed baked goods, and the MS/HS custodial staff. Everyone worked tirelessly to help make the evening run smoothly. It is this wonderful teamwork that made for a successful event!

Congratulations to this year’s summer music scholarship win-ners: Peter Jensen, who is going to the Mansfield University Percussioncamp;GraceMcManus(trumpet)whowillattendthe Bristol Hills Music Camp in Canandaigua, NY and Natalie Ehrensbeck (vocal) who is going to the Fredonia Summer Music Festival at SUNY Fredonia.

Jim Pritchard, principal,Port Dickinson Elem.

June has flown by quickly at Port Dickinson and now we are gearing up for the 2015-2016 school year. The children have been notified of their teacher for next year. It is going to be a big change for us this year without our third-grade class. They are going to be deeply missed. We finished up the year with a very successful Flag Day celebration. Mrs. Carpenter and the students at Port Dickin-son sang patriotic songs, waved flags and honored veterans, current members of the military, and law enforcement officers. We also had our yearly Field Days. The children had fun playing games, going down the blow-up slides, listening to music, but most of all watching the faculty Talent Show. It was a successful day for all. Also, this spring the Hillcrest Rotary -- in cooperation with the Family Reading Partnership of Broome County -- made a special visit to our pre-K children. They gave each child a book entitled, “How Rocket Learned to Read.” They donated 130 books to the school. On the first day of kindergarten, classrooms across the country will read this book and will ignite the joy and passion of reading. This program is to promote a culture of literacy throughout the country.

We have a lot of exciting programs for the upcoming school year. We have established an early kindergarten program, which will be servicing those students who could benefit from another year to grow before kindergarten. Also, a full-day Head Start preschool program serving the Chenango Valley Central School District will begin at Port Dickinson. This program will be open to students who are three years of age before 12/1/15. If you would like more information, please call Head Start at 772-6810. Just a reminder that we have posted a school supply list on the Chenango Valley website. We wish you all a very relaxing summer and will see you in the fall.

Community members Ed and Kay Corcoran volunteered to work with Mrs. Mercik’s, Mrs. Shelepak’s and Mrs. Voorhis’ second-graders on a planting project at the Port Dick Children’s Garden. The Corcorans, who work with us each year, gave a lesson on seed germination, plant parts and the plant cycle, and provided potting soil and seeds for the students to plant. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Corcoran!

Talent Show focused on moving to Chenango BridgeWith third grade transitioning to Chenango Bridge Elementary this fall, students in two grade levels at Port Dickinson will be moving to CB this fall. With that in mind, the theme for PD’s annual Talent Show was change and moving. Teachers and staff performed funny skits and musical numbers that had students giggling and singing along. The stage set featured cardboard boxes marked “Move to Chenango Bridge,” and there was even a moving van that came down the aisle of the audience. It was a fun way to assure students that change is a positive thing!

Pictured above, l-r: Mr. Hazilla, Eric Schuldt, Joe Nester (Champion, Experienced Group), Tara Pitcher (Beginners Group Champion), Ryan Atkinson, and Tino Montemagno. Absent from the photo is Tommy Eccleston.

CB students Peyton Broderick and Lucas Hoyt organized a collec-tion drive to benefit the Humane Society. The boys created collec-tion bins and encouraged students and staff to bring in donations of pet food and supplies. Great job, Peyton and Lucas!

It has been an exciting, busy school year at Chenango Bridge Elementary. We have worked very hard academi-cally, musically, and athletically, while building friendships and challenging ourselves to be the best we can be.

The faculty and staff at Chenango Bridge Elementary School would like to wish both our fifth and sixth-grade stu-dents the very best as they together transition to the Middle School for the 2015-16 school year. These students have learned so much as students and as people in their elementary school years, and we are confident that they will be successful in their transition to the Middle School.

Also, we are very excited to have a “brand new look” at Chenango Bridge Elementary School. It is so wonderful that we are welcoming two new groups of students in the 2015-16 school year. Students in grades 3 and 4 will begin an exciting learning adventure at Chenango Bridge. We know they will positively contribute to the learning and friendships at our school.

It is so important to also recognize and extend a very warm “thank you” to three of our staff members who retired in June: Mrs. Catherine Fitzgerald,grade6teacher;Mrs.CarolCraig,teacheraide;andMr.PaulSnitchler,custodian.Allthreeoftheseindividualshavehadaposi-tive impact on our school and community. You will be missed very much. There are many people who have made this school year successful. Thank you to our faculty, our staff, our families, and our students who work each day collaboratively and positively for the betterment of our school. It is an honor and privilege to work in a terrific school and community. Have a fantastic summer with your family and friends. Enjoy the sunshine! Have fun! We’ll see you on Wednesday, September 9, 2015 for the start of the 2015-16 school year.

Garrett Anderson, Kendra Potenziano and Faith Riegal were honored at the competition on June 6 at Binghamton University, where they had the opportu-nity to display their invention projects. Pictured at right is Garrett Anderson, posing with his invention, a Lego sorter that uses a funnel and camera to sort Legos by color into separate bins. Kendra and Faith were unavailable for a photo.

The 2014-15 CVMS Typing Championships, sponsored by the CVHS Business Club had a very competitive finish. In first place was eighth-grader Kayla Ferris, who typed 51 words per minute with only 1 mistake in a five-minute period. Kayla’s younger brother, Kyle Ferris, took second place, and in third place was seventh- grader Natalie Gillette. Next year, sixth-graders will be allowed to participate as well. Thanks to all who competed and keep practic-ing those typing skills.

Fifth-graders, (soon to be sixth-graders) visited the Middle School on May 21, and sixth-graders, (soon to be seventh), visited on June 4. After a Middle School Orientation program, the students had the opportunity to ask questions to our eighth-grade students about life in the Middle School. At the conclusion of the question-and-answer period, students were provided a tour of the Middle School by our eighth-graders. Congratulations to the 55 students inducted into the National Junior Honor Society on June 11. Thank you to Mrs. Schmitz, advisor, for organizing the prestigious ceremony. Special thanks also go to Mrs. Balles, Mr. Ruf, Mrs. Faughnan, and Mrs. Lange who assisted in the program. Students were honored for their success throughout the school year at the 25th annual Middle School Academic and Achievement Awards, held on June 17. A big thank you goes to our Middle School Awards Committee, and a special

thank you goes to Mrs. Balles and Mr. Stanton for organizing the program. I wish the eighth-grade students much success as they enter their freshman year of high school. We also look forward to seeing the incoming sixth and seventh-graders and the returning eighth-graders at the annual Middle School Picnic/Orientation on Wednesday, August 26 at 5 p.m. in the MS Cafe.

High School

Three CVHS New Visions Business Academy students were part of a team chosen to compete in a three-day national student leadership event in Washington, D.C. June 22-24.

The students, Jared Cornell, Ben Daniels and Zach Wyatt, were part of a nine-member BOCES team that founded a company called 9 Roots as part of their participation in the JA Company Program®, in which high school students start and run a real business enterprise under the guidance of a volunteer from the local business community. 9 Roots sold nylon fleece blankets with a water resistant outer shell and an anti-peeling fleece inner shell and cotton beanie hats embroidered with “Helping Wishes Grow.”

At the event in Washington, a total of 15 teams were assessed on their financial performance, individual team members’ personal and profes-sional development, a self-produced commercial about their product or service, their team’s live presentation to a panel of business leaders, and on their company’s performance at an Entrepreneurship Expo on Capitol Hill. It was a great experience and the culmination of much hard work. Congratulations, Jared, Ben and Zach!

The 2014-2015 school year has come to an end. Classes are finished, students have completed their local, Post–SLO, and Regents exams, and the Class of 2015 has graduated. It has been a great school year, and it’s amazing how fast the school year goes by. Time flies when you are having fun! Students who have worked hard this year should be very proud of their achievements and accomplishments. Chenango Valley students have excelled in the classroom, auditorium, on stage and on the athletic fields. CV students make us very proud. I would like to thank Chenango Valley students, and especially the Senior Class for a tremendous year. Well done! Parents should be very proud! I would also like to thank some people who may go unnoticed throughout the year: the support staff, secretaries, custodians, and maintenance workers who make the High School building run so well each day, week, month, and year. Chenango Valley wouldn’t have such a successful school without the help of these folks! Thank you for all you do for our students.

Have a great summer vacation. Get rested up for September. The first day of school will be here before you know it!

The CVHS Business club recently traveled to NYC’s financial district. First stop was a view of the Statute of Liberty from Battery Park, then visits to the Museum of Finance, the 9-11 Museum and shopping in Chinatown. Pictured are Mr. Krause, Mr. Ruff, Chris Singleton, Matt Cole, Jake Lehr, Jack Reigal, Matt Igo, Spencer Root, Brandon Kipp, Richard Terpstra, Christian Hart, Trevor Hope, Sam Hatton, Logan McDonald, Alec Grunder, Bobby Gross, Delany McDonald, Danielle Paulhamus and Harold Jones.

The High School Principles of Engineering class toured Raymond Corp. in Greene, NY on April 30. The tour, led by Mike Brown and Jim O’Brien, gave the students an inside look at what goes on in a real-life manufacturing facility. Students toured the manufacturing floor and saw how raw materials are transformed into a working fork lift. Mike Brown showed the students a 3D CAD model of a part and explained how the part is made from the drawings and then how it is used in the fork lift. Mike also discussed the type of engineers who work at Raymond and talked about the high school and college requirements to become an engineer.

Students involved in the CV French Exchange program held a car wash/bake sale at Hatala Orthodontics on Sunday June 14. The students are trying to raise money to host their French friends from Castres France, who will be visiting their CV families in October 2015. It was a great day to wash cars and our group would like to thank the many folks from the CV community who came out to support us.

The 2014-15 CVHS Typing Championship, sponsored by the CVHS Business Club was a huge surprise: the top three place winners never participated before! In first place, at a blistering pace of 75 words per minute with only four mistakes over five minutes, was Mackinaw Shutt. Senior Sonja Jensen took sec-ond place and in third place was sophomore Spen-cer Root. Awards of $25, $15 and $10 were given to our top three places. Thanks to all who participated and good luck next year.

Girls’ State ConferenceMichaela Gay was selected for this year’s 2015 Girls’ State Conference held in June at SUNY Brockport. Girls’ State is a hands-on workshop on government, the political process, and leadership. It is a non-par-tisan School of Government through which the American Legion Auxiliary attempts to educate young women in the duties, rights, and responsibilities of American citizens.

In one week, the Girls’ State citizens build a government of a mythical 51st state, from the local to state level. They participate in campaigns, rallies, speeches, platforms and various legislative committees, as well as create bills. The students come as strangers and leave as friends, confident of their role and duties as citizens in a democratic society. Congratulations Michaela and a special thank you to the American Legion Auxiliary.

Boys’ State Conference Cole Mace and Nick Pert were selected to represent CV at this year’s 2015 Boys’ State conference held in June at SUNY Morrisville State College. Boys’ State is a week-long Leadership Action Program, sponsored by the American Legion, where high school juniors participate in a practical government experience designed to develop a working knowl-edge of the structure of government. Program objectives include developing civic lead-ership and pride in American citizenship, fostering a keen interest in the detailed study of our government, encouraging young citizens a determination to maintain our form of government and to develop an understanding of American traditions and a belief in the United States.

Congratulations Cole and Nick and a special thank you to the American Legion for spon-soring these students.
