Congratulations on receiving a Staff Shout-Out, Ben! We deeply value your willingness to help others.
Mount Markham CSD has held its sixth annual Dodgeball Tournament for the American Heart Association! This fundraiser is a district-wide initiative to raise money for those struggling with cardiovascular disease.
From October 24 - 28, Mount Markham High School students and staff participated in Red Ribbon Week! The 2022 theme was "Celebrate Life. Live Drug Free," and activities were coordinated through Heather Maley, Prevention Services Coordinator with the Catholic Charities of Herkimer County/Herkimer County Prevention Council.
Students in Mrs. Moore's health classes held a poster contest. Each student was very creative and expressed ways to celebrate the theme. Students also signed the Red Ribbon Pledge: to grow up safe, healthy and drug free by understanding the dangers of drug use and abuse, to respect themselves and be drug free and to spread the word to family and friends about the importance of being healthy and drug free.
SADD provided encouraging announcements each morning and students also sported fun mustaches provided by SADD with the declaration "I 'mustache' you not to do drugs." On Wednesday, all staff and students were encouraged to wear RED to demonstrate their commitment to a drug-free lifestyle.
Mount Markham CSD is currently searching for a F/T Night Cleaner and substitute cleaners. See below for additional information regarding these positions. Call Chris Haar at (315) 822-2844 with any questions you may have or stop by the District Office for additional information.
