The next morning at school, both the boys and girls teams were congratulated on their wonderful seasons and both winning the CCL titles. The girls team was called to the floor for the crowd to congratulate. To honor the boys for the sectional title win, the boys entered the gym to see the entire student body there to congratulate them. They were introduced and each player had a chance to speak to the crowd. Many of them spoke of their gratitude for the support that has been shown by the school, community and parents. Coach Brown also spoke, complimented the team on their hard work and thanked everyone for the support. As they left, they hugged and thanked the teachers for all the support, as well as high- fiving all the little kids sitting in front, which the young students loved.

Hello Everyone! With the school year in full bloom, the Student Senate has been incredibly active. This past October, the Student Senate hosted Spirit Week, the Pep Rally, and the Homecoming dance. These events were intended to bring school spirit and pride as we took on our long standing rivals, the McGraw Eagles @ Cortland State, and it very much did. We have a lot to be proud of in this community. The energy that our soccer teams and fans possess is astounding. On top of these events, the Student Senate also hosted the Halloween Dance, on October 30th. It was a night full of fun and entertainment, as everyone showed up in their costumes to have a good time. October was a busy and exciting month.

Senators are keeping busy, though. This November, on top of cheering on the soccer teams as they succeed in sectional play, Student Senate hosted its annual Senior Citizens’ Thanksgiving Dinner. One of the largest events Student Senate hosts, Senators dress up and host dinner for senior citizens in the area. The event took place on Thursday, Nov. 19th. There was a GREAT turnout of the community's senior citizens, we served 132 dinners! There was musical entertainment from our students and our music teachers, Miss Nauseef and Mr. Koch. The day is spent enjoying good company, concerts from different ages, and delicious food.

The Longhouses are back and on display in the Fourth grade wing! The Fourth grade classes have been studying about the early Native Americans, also known as the Iroquois, or the Haudenosaunee, meaning the People of the Longhouse. As part of the New York State core curriculum, Social Studies content is encompassed in the new ELA modules set forth by New York State. Fourth grade Social Studies curriculum is based on New York State history. The students have worked together to research the nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, consisting of the original five: Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida and Mohawk. Students learned about the Iroquois way of life, men and women’s roles, cultural

beliefs, and will also have the opportunity to take part in the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse production of “There Once Was a Longhouse,” by Rick Balian.

Students did close reading in different trade books, researched material from the internet and used graphic organizers to record what they learned. Students watched documentaries and took notes, they made blueprint drawings of what an Iroquois village would include and then as a culminating extra credit project they were asked to create a complete village using resources from nature, just like the Iroquois. Students did a fine job with this project and learned many interesting facts along the way.

As part of the Iroquois unit students worked together to research the Iroquois festivals, a time when the Iroquois gave thanks to the great spirits for all that they had given them. Students researched their festivals, created reports and murals to represent each festival. After all projects were complete, students took a gallery picture walk through the hall and each group presented their projects to their classmates.

All students enjoyed learning about the Iroquois and this part of New York’s heritage. Submitted by Mrs. Brown

Veteran’s Day… a day to remember all of the men and women that serve in one of the branches of our Armed Forces as they protect our country and the freedoms that we enjoy. On November 10, Crispian DeLarm, a 1993 graduate from Cincinnatus visited the second grade classes as he shared his experiences in the Navy for 4 years following graduation. He was dressed in his dress blues when he entered the classroom, but explained to us that there were other uniforms the crew would wear depending on their job. He walked in his father’s footsteps as his father served for 28 years in the Army. E3 DeLarm travelled between the United States and Germany during those 4 years on the USS Mount Baker as a medic. While aboard he cared for those of his crew that were sick and injured. The USS Mount Baker was an ammunition and supply ship. Helicopters would land on board to pick up supplies that were needed in other places.

E3 DeLarm helped us to visualize the size of his ship when he explained to us that the ship was longer than a football field, as wide as 3-4 school buses and as tall as a 5 story building. This ship held 450 people. Wow, that is a big ship. He was on the open seas for 3 of the 4 weeks of each month. His wife, Amber, and their son Tristian remained at home while he was serving his country and she cared for the home. They now reside here in Pharsalia with a daughter Tailyn that is presently in 5th grade. Crispian DeLarm can now be found working at the Cincinnatus Home Center as a meat cutter in the grocery area of the building. You might also recognize him as he is a member of the Legion and marches in our local parades, including the Memorial Day parade and the 4th of July Parade. When you see him, be sure to thank him among the many in our town who have served and continue to serve our country. Submitted by: Mrs. Lori Rice

Higher Education Week is coming!Cincinnatus will again have Higher Education Week in early January. During the week students have opportunities to participate in activities like a scavenger hunt, word searches and crossword puzzles to win prizes. There will also be a Mini College Fair, a Campus Security Presentation, a Cincinnatus Alumni Panel, and College Apparel Day.

Financial Aid Night ReminderThere will be a Financial Aid Night on Tuesday, December 8th, at 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. in the Wilbur Auditorium. This information session is for parents of seniors who have children going to college in the fall. Parents of juniors are also welcome to attend to get a jumpstart on the financial aid process. A representative from SUNY Cortland will be here to provide information on the process of financial aid for college bound students. This is a great opportunity to be able to learn more about financial aid, as well as ask questions. If you are unfamiliar with the financial aid process for your student heading off to college next year, it is highly recommended that you attend this event. If for some reason there is inclement weather and school is canceled, the presentation will take place the following day, Wednesday, December 9th. If you have any questions, you can contact the Guidance Office at 863-3200, option 3.

CCYLCortland County Youth Leadership is a program in which student members can develop leadership skills, serve the community, and explore some activities and events in the county. This year students had to apply to the CCYL program. From the pool of applications, the scholarship committee chose 6 students based on the following criteria: students must be a positive person, show good leadership qualities, possess a good academic record, and be in eleventh grade. This year’s representatives are Rachel Cass, Sarah Clements, Emily Cortright, Kaitlin Johnson, Cody Metcalf and Madelynne Newton. Some activities planned for the year are a tour of the hospital, a field trip to a Nursing Home Facility where members will assist senior citizens, a trip to SUNY Cortland, and a trip to Lime Hollow where members from all participating schools will help clean up the environmental center. Overall, this year holds a lot of activities and events for the members to enjoy as well as learn from. Submitted by Mrs. Carey

Kudos and Congratulations! Every student will have an opportunity to show the new character traits daily and be recognized at a future assembly – go Cincy Lion Cubs!

This month, the students learned about Assertion, Accountability, and Acceptance. In celebration of Veteran’s Day, the students will have the opportuntiy to write to Veterans through the Holiday Mail for Heros program. The Cincy Lion welcomed our new Elementary Principal, Mrs. Whiteman, to Cincinnatus and gave her a little care package. Thank you for coming to Cincinnatus Elementary, Mrs. Whiteman! The students watched a video, “I Like Being Me” by Lanny Sherwin and heard a very important message about assertion from Cincy’s own puppeteers, Sonny and Sally.

Cincy Welcomes Our New Spanish TeacherIn November, we welcomed a new Spanish teacher. Kelly Lawton is originally from this area, having attended Oxford High School. She received her undergraduate degree from Alfred University and attended the University of Buffalo for her graduate degree. Mrs. Lawton chose the education field because she loved the Spanish language when she was younger. She thought that teaching Spanish was a great idea! Mrs. Lawton and her family had been living in North Carolina where she worked at Pinecrest High School and Union Pines High School. She was interested in the job at Cincinnatus because she and her husband were hoping to move back to New York where they could be close to both of their families. She also liked that Cincinnatus was a small school. She lived in Mexico for a year after school as a Rotary Exchange Student where she was immersed in the language. She highly recommends it. Outside of school, Mrs. Lawton enjoys photography, she loves to take pictures and one day she hopes to have her own photography business. She also loves camping, spending time with family and friends, and laughing. She is looking forward to how a different school functions and of course getting to know the new staff and her students. Welcome to Cincinnatus, Mrs. Lawton!

Two Cincy Students Participate in Honors EnsemblesTwo of Cincy’s best music students have had the honor of playing or singing in two select ensembles this fall.

Cody Metcalf (pictured right) was chosen to play trumpet in the first-ever Tompkins-Cortland All-County Festival. Hosted by the Groton Music Department, this event took place on Nov. 20 and 21 at Dryden High School. Students from throughout Cortland and Tompkins Counties got together for two days of music making in three ensembles – Middle School Orchestra and Band, and High School Band. We’re very proud of Cody and his participation in this special ensemble!

Shortly after the al l -county event, Dylan Barber (pictured below with Mr. Koch)traveled to Rochester for the NYSSMA Conference All-State Music Festival, in which he sang in the Mixed

Chorus. Dylan was the only student from Cortland County chosen to participate in this state-wide event. Participation is determined by a committee of NYSSMA personnel and is based on the score achieved on last spring’s NYSSMA Solo Festival evaluation and his teacher’s recommendation. Dylan received a perfect rating on his solo, and comments by the adjudicator were glowing with praise. We are so pleased that Dylan was able represent both our school and our county in this very prestigious event!

Many congratulations to both Cody and Dylan on these fine musical achievements!

The Importance of Regular School Attendance

It’s a fact that students who attend school regularly learn more and are more successful in school than students who do not. Parents who make regular school attendance a priority are also helping their children learn to accept responsibility. And that’s an important lesson for a successful life.

Attendance patterns are formed early in life. Children who develop good attendance habits in the early grades will be more likely to continue them throughout their school career. That’s important, because students who miss school miss out on carefully planned sequences of instruction. They miss out on active learning experiences and class participation. They miss out on the opportunity to ask questions. They are more likely to fall behind. And they are more likely to drop out.

What Parents Can Do1. Let your child know that you expect him or her to attend school every day. Explain that, just as you have

a job, it’s his or her job to go to school and learn.2. Set a time for doing homework each evening and a time for going to bed.  Unfinished homework and 

way too little sleep are common reasons why parents hear the words, “I don’t feel good,” on school mornings.

3. Get involved with your child’s school. Let your child know you think that school is important.

If your children must miss school, please remember the following:· Call the school to let us know your child will be absent. When calling, leave a detailed message as to why

your child is absent.· If your child will be absent multiple days, you should always request work. Please make sure to pick it up

at the guidance office at the end of the day.· If your child is absent due to illness and visits the doctor, remember to ask for a doctor’s note. Please

check to make sure your child turned the note in.· Try not to schedule routine doctors’ appointments during the school day. If you have no choice, encourage

your child to attend school before and after the appointment.· Try to schedule all trips during vacations and breaks. *Article can be found at www.parent-institute.com Submitted by Kim MacDonald – Middle School Counselor

Student Council Zap-a-Snack Fundraiser Successful

This year was our most successful Zap-a-Snack fundraiser in years. Students in grades five through eight did a fantastic job of selling Zap-a-Snack products due to terrific community support. The money raised from this fundraiser subsidizes the eighth grade Washington, D.C. trip, as well as the Knoebel’s Amusement Park end of year trip for students, in grades five through eight, making Honor Roll the first three marking periods. The top seller this year was seventh grader Alexis Ludlow with over $500.00 in sales. Our second place seller, Christopher Torto, also with over $500.00 in sales. Third place went to Phoebe Smith with over $400.00 in sales. The top sellers received a gift card from Walmart. Other than the top sellers, names were drawn for the remaining prize. Seventh grader Donald Gardner won the five pound Hershey Chocolate Bar. Additionally, Mr. Boyd, the sales representative, picked mystery students and gave them a dollar for each item they sold. The mystery students were Shannon Ryan, Jadyn Lang, Arianna Blanchard, Dylan Kemp, Kyle Vanwagenen, and Alexis Metzler. Amounts ranged from $14.00 to $20.00. This incentive was new this year. This year twenty-seven students sold over $200.00 worth of products. Thank you for supporting our fundraiser and to the students for all their hard work! Submitted by: Mrs. Roelen

The Cincinnatus Central School District works to convey information to students, parents, businesses and community members in a variety of ways. One major source of information is the school district website which can be found on the Internet at www.cc.cnyric.org.

Another method of communication within the district is this publication, The Lion's Roar, which is produced by students enrolled in the high school course, Computer Publications. The newsletter is published entirely by students and the printing completed by OCM BOCES. In addition to the website and newsletter, there are also a variety of classroom newsletters, grade reports and parent memos sent home via students and/or mail.

The purpose of these communication tools is to share information about our district, to showcase student, faculty, and staff endeavors, as well as provide resources for students, parents, community members and faculty. We welcome input from all of the school community in making this communication more efficient and more valuable. In utilizing new technologies the district may want to post children's work or pictures on our website and/or in district publications. This could include photos, writings, artwork, or videos recorded for our in-house TV station. Parents or guardians who do NOT wish to have their child’s name and/or photograph on the district web site, in student video productions, in the newsletter or other publications, must notify the district in writing of their wishes. This must be done each school year. Please send any related correspondence to:
