Happy Birthday Cha Cha Cha Contest for the COW Club

Citizens of the World Club is having a birthday contest February 28th through March 4th. They are collecting items for Happy Birthday Cha Cha Cha. This organization provides a book, toy, food and personal care items to every student in the city of Rochester, kindergarten through 3rd grade, on their birthday. Items to donate include:
  • bar soap
  • toothpaste
  • pack of Oreos
  • a new children's book
  • a new toy that does not need batteries
  • a box of mac and cheese
Each item will accumulate points for each grade level (9-12) and the grade with the most points at the end of the week will win a visit from the snack cart. Items will be placed in the donation boxes in the cafeteria hallway. Please help us put birthday smiles on the faces of local kids in need. See Mrs. Peterson or any COW Club member for more info.

Congratulations to this year's WCMEA All-county Band members

On Saturday, February 5th students ranging from 7th-12th grades participated in the Wayne County Music Educators Association All-county Band auditions at Newark High School. Each student had to memorize scales, perform two prepared excerpts on their instrument, and perform a short section of sight-reading. The students perform in front of a trained adjudicator that rates the students on seven different categories. It takes a great deal of courage, hard work and determination to participate in this event.


Congratulations to the following high school students who earned a spot in this year's WCMEA All-County Band to be held March 18th-19th at Marion High School:

Sr. High All-County Band Members:

  • Emma Guthrie - Flute - PERFECT SCORE
  • Savannah Harding - Trumpet
  • Cadence Strausser - Trumpet
  • Kathryn Harms - Mallets
