HALL OF FAME NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN! Do you know an alumnus of Mount Markham CSD or its founding districts whose professional achievements, philanthropic contributions and moral character go above and beyond? Nominate them today! The Mount Markham Central School Hall of Fame was established in 1994-1995 as part of Mount Markham's 25th Anniversary. In 1969, Mount Markham was formed when the school districts of Bridgewater, Leonardsville and West Winfield merged. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to honor graduates of Mount Markham or its founding districts who have distinguished themselves after graduation and whom would be considered outstanding role models for current students.; images: Mustang, white shapes, blue text on yellow background

Ms. Robinson's Astronomy class created Martian or Lunar colony dioramas with the added challenge of using paper circuits to make features light up. Mrs. Yager and Mrs. Bock supported the paper circuits portion, which the students really appreciated. All of the projects lit up, and students learned a lot!

Jack Baylis served as the Agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at Mount Markham High School for many years, retiring in 1995. Sadly, Mr. Baylis passed away in January of 2023. As a tribute to his time at Mount Markham, Mr. Baylis’s tools and equipment were donated to Mount Markham FFA by Mrs. Judy Baylis, Jack’s wife. On Wednesday, January 31, Mrs. Baylis came into the high school classroom to meet with students. Students Zach Congden, Eli Assisi, Ryan Treen and Owen Allen showed Mrs. Baylis the progress made in organizing and installing equipment in the shop. Mike Brown, a former student of Jack’s, helped facilitate getting the equipment to the high school. Mike has been a strong supporter of Mount Markham FFA since the chapter rechartered in 2017.

Ms. Robinson's Earth Science classes have been learning about rocks and minerals. To understand how the arrangement of atoms leads to mineral properties, students arranged "atoms" (marshmallows) in common mineral structures (cubic, hexagonal, tetrahedron). This year, we had a record of holding 47 textbooks!

Students were able to experience Monet’s work through a virtual reality experience, recreations of his atelier and garden, by recreating his work themselves and the 360-degree immersive experience. This field trip was generously sponsored by the Arts in Education grant.

Ms. Robinson's Astronomy class has been very busy in their planet unit! After learning about Mars and watching The Martian, students completed a Breakout Ms. Robinson created where they had to solve puzzles similar to those solved in The Martian to break out! Next up, they had to build rovers using Lego Robotics. They then learned about coding and had to program their rovers to "travel on Mars." Thanks to Mrs. Blackwell, Mrs. Yager, and Mrs. Bock for their help with these projects!
