Hello Rebels,
Today's podcast features Mary Keesler, the district social worker from Cuba-Rushford. Mary is well-known in the CRCS community; she graduated in 1997, has four children currently attending the district, and has been a long-time coach for Rebel Athletics.
In this episode, we discuss her role at CR, which involves assisting students and families with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, as well as connecting them to essential services for food and housing. Mary also introduces the new Rebel Family Forum, which covers a variety of important topics. This initiative serves as an excellent resource for the district, so be sure to tune in as Mary explains how she aims to provide a "hand up, not a handout."

We celebrated students that fully completed their September Reading Log Challenge on Friday, October 3rd! Students enjoyed cider and donuts, decorated Halloween Bookmarks, and were given certificates and PAWS. Students were challenged to complete the bonus at the bottom of the reading log, which asked them to identify a situation where a character demonstrated Respect, which was the September Character Trait. If students completed the bonus, they were entered into a drawing to win a Six South gift certificate, and five lucky winners were chosen! We're so proud of our Junior Rebels!







Good morning!
This is the last week of our "One Book: One School: One Community" Read of Ferris, by Kate DiCamillo. This week, we will be reading Chapter 26-Coda. See below for a few discussion questions:
1. How did the mood in the dining room change (in chapters 27–29) once the chandelier was lit? How would you describe the mood before? After?
2. How do you think Ferris knew where to find Pinky?
3. What does Ferris’s mom mean, metaphorically and literally, when she says that the Wilkeys would “never pass up a ride of any sort” (page 213)?
4. Using all the clues from within the book, what time period do you believe the story takes place in?
5. Words are very important to Ferris, and she always tries to find the best one. What word would you use to describe a story like Ferris? Why did you choose that word?
As a reminder, we will be celebrating this book on Wednesday, October 15, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the CRE Cafeteria. Please see attached for the flier as well as a QR Code to RSVP to the event. We encourage you to RSVP to help with planning. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Our 7th graders had a great time exploring the Erie Canal! They learned all about the lock system and how it helps move boats through the canal. One of the highlights was experiencing how the boat goes up and down in the locks—a hands-on way to see history and engineering in action. With the Erie Canal’s 200th anniversary coming up soon, it was the perfect time to connect learning with a piece of New York history!

We are so proud of our Junior Rebels who were nominated to receive a Character Education Award at our September Assembly for demonstrating RESPECT towards all! We're so proud of you!


This is the fourth week of our "One Book: One School: One Community Book Read" of Ferris, by Kate DiCamillo. We will be reading Chapters 19-25 this week! As a reminder, our Ferris celebration will be held on October 15th from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at CRE. Save the date and stay tuned for more details! See below for a few discussion questions:
1. Mrs. Mielk is very fond of collective nouns (page 142), so Ferris learned quite a few of them. Look up some collective nouns, specifically those for animals. Which one is your favorite? Why?
2. What do Ferris’s interactions with the bees and the raccoon show you about facing adversity in the world?
3. On page 166, the author writes that Ferris felt “homesick even though she was already home.” What does that mean? How can that be?
4. Mrs. Mielk has obviously changed Ferris’s and Billy’s lives; she is even described as remarkable (page 172). Who is someone remarkable in your life who has changed you?
Happy Reading!
