             Students in Miss Schoonmaker’s Biology Class busy learning how Lactase and Lactose create reactions in different foods and beverages. Two students did a great job of explaining it all to our visiting Board of Education Members!

             Students are constantly drawn to using the Mindfulness Board located in our classroom! It provides students with a few relaxing moments to paint with water and watch it slowly evaporate away! #SocialEmotionalLearning #Mindfulness

             These kids have endured so much. We were beyond thrilled to be able to host a moving up ceremony and celebrate them with the most beautiful weather! Congratulations CCMS a class of 2021!

             I am very humbled to be named the 2021 NYS Middle School Principal of the year and National Distinguished Principal by SAANYS and NAESP. I had an unfair advantage, I am lucky to work in the best building.

             DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids, but this illustration shows some differences between DNA and RNA. #DNADay #NationalDNADay #DNADay21 #scicomm #sciart

             This week in Biology Lab we are exploring the structure and function of the cellular component that makes living things what they are - DNA! We extracted DNA from strawberries using common household items such as soap and salt. Check out the results!

             Today in Biology we are exploring Genetic Variation! We are using coins to investigate the power of probability when specific genes and traits are passed down to an offspring! #HandsOn #MindsOn #Investigate

             Happy Friday from the CCSD! As more vaccinations become available our faculty and staff are able to get their full vaccinations! Here is a picture of our 7th grade team... they are vaccinated, caffeinated, dedicated and educated!

             This week in Biology Lab we are exploring the inner workings of flowers! We are investigating the functions of each part as we dissect through this organism. #HandsOn #MindsOn #InquiryBasedLearning
