Mrs. Beaudin’s class learned how to peel apples for applesauce and enjoyed a lesson from the Shine On students from Plattsburgh State.
As Fall approaches...
Students are hanging up their showmanship gear for now. Farmers of all ages enjoy exhibiting their best cattle at the Franklin County Fair. High School students, Jamie-Lynn and Zak Helm, right down to our youngest elementary student Calvin Couillard enjoy the friendly competition and camaraderie with friends. These 4-H and FFA members have worked very hard to display their prize-winning animals to the best of their abilities.
When Franklin County Dairy Princess, Jamie-Lynn Helm, wasn't in the show ring, she was promoting the dairy industry along with dairy ambassador, Anna Dalton. Anna did a great job rewarding prizes to the dairy exhibitors at the fair. I know the farmers appreciate the hard work and dedication these young ladies put into promoting the dairy industry. It's nice to see them connect the people to their "roots." Jamie and Anna will continue educating the public and hopefully many schoolchildren throughout the year about the benefits of dairy.
From Seed to Finished Product
The CDOS Program, Agriculture Pre-CTE Class and FFA have worked in 2023 from seed to a finished product.
Near the end of March we started growing tomato seeds in the grow carts. Some of the plants were sold by FFA in May. In June, the CDOS students worked with Mrs. Ashline and her sixth graders. They planted the tomatoes in the raised beds next to the playground.
Now at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year a number of the tomatoes were picked and made into pizza sauce. The students in the CDOS Program and Mrs. Ashline's 9th Period Agriculture class learned the process of preparing the tomatoes to make it into pizza sauce before learning the canning process. Next week they are hoping to make pizza with this sauce.
Hello!
My name is Sam Breault. I am a member of the CCS senior class of 2024, and for my senior project, I will be forming a community band and holding a Veterans Day concert to raise money for DAV (Disabled American Veterans). I am searching for members to play in this band. Whether you still play regularly or haven’t touched an instrument since high school, everyone is welcome and all help is greatly appreciated. I plan on holding practices in the CCS band room from 6-7:30 PM every Saturday beginning on Saturday, September 23rd, and continuing until the concert on Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11th. If you don't own an instrument, we will most likely be able to provide you with one. If you are interested, please fill out the Google form which can be found below. If you have any questions, you can contact me at (518)578-9808. Thank you for all your support, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.
