We have had an incredible start to the school year. Our staff had their annual staff day on Sept. 3rdwhere we spent time preparing for the start of the year and participating in professional development.
September 8th marked the first day of the 2026-2027 school year! The Student Council provided games and snacks outside for both the elementary and middle/high school students! This year Mrs. Amy Gosselin who formerly taught 5th grade, moved into a new role as the 7th/8th grade math and science teacher.This was done to help our middle school students have a better transition into Secondary and better prepare them for 9th grade! We are hoping to see great success in this new model as well as success for our 7th/8th grade students as well!
We had our Back to School BBQ on Friday, September 18th. This was our second year collaborating with the Minerva Historical Society and the PTO to create a community forward event. Various community organizations set up tables, shared items, and had fun games for all! The Minerva Fire Department also brought trucks for the students to explore! Thank you to the Minerva Scholarship Fund for their donation of BBQ supplies and our Minerva Staff for baked goods for dessert! Thank you to everyone who made this such a successful evening of school and community! Thank you to our 3rd grade teacher Ms. Faith Gaddis serenaded us for the evening as well.
Student Activities
Our PK-4 students always start the year off with a walking field trip down to the Minerva Museum to check out the new display! Our 8th graders along with Ms. Riley took a trip to the Chestertown Farmers Market. The students in 3rd-8th grade attended a Theodore Roosevelt event at Tannery Pond.PK-6 Students made the trek up to Newcomb Central School for the annual Segal Festival Performance of Little Red Riding Hood. Finally, Ms. Roscoe’s class visited the Adirondack Experience! It has been a busy September extending our learning outside the classroom!
