Mack Middle School

During the middle school’s recent wellness day, the annual Connect 4 championship was held!

Leading into the day, each grade level held a tournament. Champions crowned were Amelia Darling (8th grade), Kate Bowker (7th grade), and Travis Terry Jr. (6th grade). Runners ups were Danielle Miller (8th), Donovan Stanton (7th), and Taylor Gransbury (6th).

All of the champions and runner ups then competed in a round-robin tournament with Danielle and Donovan emerging as the two finalists. In the best two-out-of-three championship, Danielle won in the third game.

Congratulations to all participants!

Earlier this fall, seventh graders visited the Fenimore Farm in Cooperstown. Social studies teacher Dave Burnsworth organized the trip as an activity to enhance the Native American Cultures unit students were working on.

Students participated in the “Six Nations Iroquois Life” tour where they learned about the history and culture of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people native to New York. They visited a Seneca log house from the early 1800’s, a replica Mohawk bark house constructed by 8th-grade students from Cooperstown Central School, and toured the Thaw Collection of American Indian Art inside the Fenimore House.

Students were led by museum educators through the exhibits and experienced what life might have been like for Native Americans living on the banks of Otsego Lake prior to the arrival of European settlers.
