Students are practicing band and chorus today to prepare for their concert tonight at the Middle School, which begins at 7 p.m.
Mount Markham Elementary School students and staff would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who attended our Veterans Day program on Friday, November 8th. We had a record turnout and were honored to recognize 37 local veterans. The event began with Mrs. Goerner's 2nd-grade students escorting the veterans into the cafeteria. Miss Soucy's 1st-grade class led the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem, followed by a special readers' theater performance by Miss Ratcliffe's 3rd-grade class. Mrs. Winkler directed the chorus in a heartfelt song, and Mrs. Stone's 4th-grade class introduced each veteran, who received a gift prepared by Mrs. Madden and Miss Bunce's class. The program concluded with a moving performance of "Taps" by Chloe Risley and Robert Entwistle. Afterward, veterans were invited to enjoy a special breakfast provided by the school. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this program. Your support of our veterans is deeply appreciated.

Congratulations to Jenna Kocienda for being chosen to represent the Center State Conference and the Section III Athletics on the Student Athletic Advisory Committee!
The Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) was developed to give student athletes a voice within the NYSPHSAA. Throughout the school year, the committee will discuss topics relevant to high school student-athletes and develop ways to maintain a positive athletic experience.
Jenna is a Varsity Soccer and Basketball student athlete at Mount Markham. She is a leader on the court, field, and off, where many student athletes look to her for advice, support and guidance and look up to her in a positive way.
Jenna is excited to gain positive feedback from other members of the SAAC and bring their ideas back to her community, and the student athletes of Mount Markham and Section III.
Congratulations, Jenna!
