Retirements

Two staff members will be missing this fall from the bus-ses and roads of Copenhagen Central School District. The two drivers have been at Co-penhagen for a total of 68+ years and have made a huge impact on the students at Co-penhagen. We thank them for their service to the school and community.

Mrs. Judy Scoville has been working for the dis-trict for 32+ years in the transportation department and in the cafeteria. She was always very profes-sional and made sure that our students got to school and home safely. In the cafeteria, Judy made it a point to connect with the students. Judy will enjoy her retirement spending time with her children and grandchildren.

Mrs. Sue Mattis has been working for the district for 36 years in the transporta-tion department. She has a permanent seat at the bus garage and her ability to connect with the children on her bus will be greatly missed.

Sue will enjoy her retirement

spending time with her chil-dren and grandchildren.

Thanks

I would like to thank the Copenhagen community for allowing me to serve as Superintendent of Copenha-gen Central School District for the past three years. I have enjoyed my experiences at Co-penhagen as I have had many excellent administrative ex-periences and I have grown as an educator while at Copen-hagen. Copenhagen has a wonderful community, staff and students that I will miss greatly. I appreciate having had the opportunity to be a member of the Copenhagen Central School District and offer my best wishes for con-tinued success at the school district.

Sincerely,

Mary-Margaret Zehr

Superintendent

Dear District Residents,

Summer Activities:

This summer is filled with lots of exciting activities for our students:

Our summer athletic camps are running throughout the summer.

The Village Recreation Program is running with lots of students participat-ing in the program. We have enjoyed the partner-ship with the village!

Our summer soccer pro-grams are engaging stu-dents at various levels. We are encouraging stu-dents to enjoy the game as well as learn some new skills.

Congratulation, CCS Students!

Principally Speaking Warmest wishes and heartfelt congratulations go out to all of our CCS graduates this year. Pre-K, Kinder-garten, Eighth Grade and, of course, the Class of 2010. To the seniors: as you take this next step into your fu-ture, remember the firm foundation you still have un-derneath you—the education you gained right here in Copenhagen. Best of luck now and always.

Would You Like to Host an Exchange Student?

We have information from CCI (Center for Cultural Inter-change) for families who would like to open their homes to an exchange student. This is the same organization that has placed students in our district for the past few years. Students

come from Spain, Hong Kong, Norway, Co-lombia, Japan among many other global countries and cities. If you are interested, contact Nancy Sandersen at 222.6042 or [email protected]. For more information about CCI please go to their website h t t p : / / w w w . c c i -exchange.com/usprograms_home.aspx

Physical Activity in the Warm Summer Months

Some tips from Cornell Coop-erative Extension for staying safe and healthy while being active outdoors:

Warm up before any activity including stretching.

Drink plenty of fluids. Water is best. Pay attention to your body. Take it

slow and rest when you need to. Try to schedule more rigorous activity

for earlier in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are more tolerable.

Dress appropriately. A hat protects your face and eyes from sun. Light col-ors help keep you cool. Sunscreen pro-tects you skin.

Physical activity is essential in maintaining your good health. Get active while being aware of how to do so safely.

Student Parking for 2010-2011 Please take note. Next year there will be no student parking at school. This means that students will not be able to drive to school. The reason is that we will lose one entire parking lot during the building project.

Congratulations, Cassandra Colton! Have a relaxing, safe summer!

See you in September!

A Message from the Board of Education Copenhagen Champion of Character Student Award

The Community/staff member that nominated Connor stated: Connor has always demon-strated a Champion of Character attitude toward classmates and all his teachers. He can definitely put a smile on a person’s face if they are feeling upset and he always of-fers a shoulder to lean on if an indi-vidual needs support. This student demonstrates a Champion of Char-acter because he is constantly help-ing a person out in a subject they struggle with. He always gives to someone who needs a certain school supply, such as a piece of paper or a pen. This student is also respectful to those outside school. He volunteers wherever he can. He is such a good kid and is always trustworthy, respectful, caring, fair and is very much a good citizen.

Copenhagen Inspiring

Excellence Award

The Community/staff member that nominated Mrs. Carlson stated: I think there are plenty of teachers or staff that deserve this

award here at Copenhagen. One in particular is Mrs. Carlson. I think she goes far beyond her role as a teacher. Her compassion to-ward the students and her love for teaching shines through. She not only is an elementary teacher but has a love for the older students in middle and high school also. My daughter and my niece were both student aides in her classroom and she always went that extra mile with them and instilled a friendship that is everlasting. They both look up to her as a mentor and as a per-son who always encouraged them to give everything 100% and to do their best and they would be re-warded in life some how or some way. I have worked at school in the past and also had a son who had her as a teacher and what she did for him and other students goes far beyond the duties of a teacher. Mrs. Carlson would take her own lunch period and use that time to help those students who would need extra help. Mrs. Carlson has a caring heart and makes learning fun. I think she shows a lot of leadership qualities and is a won-derful role model for our children.

Dear District Residents,

The Copenhagen Cham-pion of Character Award will honor two students each quarter. The Copenhagen Inspiring Excel-lence Award will recognize one teacher/staff person each quarter.

We are pleased to an-nounce that the Copenhagen Champion of Character Award winners for the fourth quarter are Dylan Lago and Connor Berrus. Dylan is in the third grade and Connor is in the 10th grade.

Copenhagen Champion of Character Student Award

The Community/staff member that nominated Dylan stated: Dylan is a student with special needs. He is well known throughout the building and al-ways offers a friendly “Hi, how are you?” Dylan is a joy and he always puts a smile on your face when you see him. Dylan has made a lot of progress this year at school. We are so proud of you Dylan!

The first graders have had a good year. We wish our stu-dents much success in second grade. Remember to stop by and say hello.

The following is a list of supplies for September:

Universal Pre-K

Mrs. Combs, Mrs. Sullivan &Ms. Farney

The end of the year can be so bittersweet: goodbyes are inevitable and we teachers have learned to care for and encourage these preschoolers to do their best. Yet we also feel proud that this special group of chil-dren is ready to move onto the new challenges and joys of Kindergarten.

We rounded out the school year with a lot of fun, so much fun, in fact, the children did not even realize the learning that was taking place. We kicked off June with a farm theme: painting cows, crafting tissue pigs, playing with tractors and lots of barnyard animals. Mr. Matt Greene from Cornell Cooperative Extension paid us a visit with his special “friend” Clover the cow, that the children were able to milk. During the second week, we visited the Kindergarten class-rooms. Mrs. Graves’ and Mrs. Schol-ler’s students shared with us their fa-vorite part of Kindergarten. The little preschoolers travelled down to the big cafeteria for breakfast that week and learned how to choose their own foods and walk through the line. The third week was all about dads, and one very popular pastime, fishing. The children tried Gyotaku (Japanese art of fish printing), practiced casting, dressed up in waders, vests and hats, played with tackle (minus hooks of course) and experimented with bob-bers and lures in the water table (oh, and real minnows and crayfish too! J). They crafted a very special sailboat for their fathers who joined us for ice cream floats and a presentation by Captain Bill Saiff II of PBS’ Rod & Reel fame.

The children tried to put all their favorite memories together by crafting a mini photo album to take home. For our end of the year pro-gram, they sang their ABCs and 1,2 Buckle My Shoe, the popular weather song S-U-N-N-Y, and acted out one of

Mrs. McCabe and Mrs. Carlson

We hope everyone is en-joying the summer weather. Sum-mer is such a great time to get outdoors and discover nature. We live in such a beautiful part of the country. We need to take the time to enjoy it.

Mrs. Carlson and Mrs. McCabe would like to thank the parents for all their support this year. It was a great year and we wish everyone the best of luck next year in fifth grade.

We ended our school year with a field trip to Stone Mills. The “Farmer Boy Days” program was very interesting. The students had a great time pre-tending to be farm children during the 1860s. They even attended a one room schoolhouse for a few minutes. They pumped water from a well, ground corn to feed chickens, kneaded bread dough,

played with old-fashioned instru-ments and toys, took rides on wagons pulled by oxen and horses and many more activities from days gone by. We would like to thank our chaperones Mrs. Tho-mas, Mrs. Widrick, Mrs. Rivers, and Mrs. Muncy for their help.

Here is our supply list for the new fourth graders this Sep-tember. This list was also sent home in the third graders’ report cards.

We are fortunate to live in an area where we are so close to so many parks, recreational areas, the lake, and the river, as well as being near the Canadian border and the Adi-rondacks. We hope you have the opportunity to get out and enjoy.

A great big thank you goes out to the parents, family, and friends who have helped make this year so successful.

We had just over fifty students attend the party and remained busy throughout the night with sports, snacks, swimming, games and Reality Check who brought along great music and a blow up obstacle course. The students really seemed to en-joy themselves. I am very pleased with the help that we received and am hoping to make this an annual event. Thank you again for all of your help and support.

Also, be sure to check out the Counseling Center website for links to College and Career search, Fi-nancial Aid, and Scholarship Opportunities.

Check it out today, and help guide your child into the most appropriate career path.

The Counseling Center uses email as a way to inform seniors of scholarships and deadlines, upcoming events, college representative visits, interesting website for teens, and much more. We'd like to share this information with parents as well, including information specifically for parents such as college costs and financial aid. If you'd like to be on the list to receive such in-formation, email [email protected] so we may add you to the database.

Is your child’s schedule too full next year? Was the course he/she wanted not offered through distance learning? Achieving College Early (ACE) may be the an-swer.

Jefferson Community College is offering a pro-gram called ACE—Achieving College Early, to high school seniors. The goal is to provide an affordable oppor-tunity for students to enroll at JCC prior to high school graduation. Students may take courses at 1/3 the cost of the original tuition cost.

These courses will be held on the Jefferson Com-munity College campus beginning at or after 4:00 p.m. One week prior to the start of class, students will be al-lowed to register for classes that have “open seats”.

For more information, please call Rosanne Weir, Director of Admissions, Amy O’Donnell or Chris Row-land, Assistant Directors of Admissions at Jefferson Com-munity College. The Admissions office can be reached at 786-2277.

Another opportunity to earn college credit at this reduced rate is available through the Jefferson EDGE pro-gram. Eligible students can earn up to six credit hours in art through courses offered in the high school during the school during the school day. Interested students should contact the Guidance Office or JCC Continuing Educa-tion Office at 786-2238 to determine their eligibility for these courses.

If your child is considering participation in athletics at a Division I or Division II college or uni-versity, he/she must register for eligibility. The NCAA has made it almost mandatory this year to register online for the clearinghouse.

To register, prospective student-athletes s h o u l d a c c e s s t h e w e b s i t e a t www.ncaaclearinghouse.net for the homepage.

If a student wishes to pay by check or money order, the student can print off the signature page and send it in with the money.

From the home page, you can get registration information, Divisions & Sports Information, etc. You may register anytime after June 13th. Please be sure to advise Mrs. Gillette when you register so that your transcripts may be sent to the clearinghouse.

at Jacobs’ Place. There is no cost to participate. Each player must bring a drink, a soccer ball, appropriate foot-wear and shin guards.

We will start off each night working on ball handling/control for about an hour and then work in some small sided games. Most of the foot skills used will come from the Coever coaching methods.

It is time to make Copenhagen

soccer a real Powerhouse in the sport and we can’t do that without your participation. So talk to your friends about it and make sure you come join in. Imagine if everyone on your team was able to receive and distribute the soccer ball with-out just kicking it away and wasting possession. It’s all about foot skills!

If you have any questions or concerns, please call Mr. Scott Jacobs anytime after 3:30 p.m.

Starting July 11, any student in 5th through 12th grade who is in-terested in improving their foot skills is asked to attend the Kobenhavn Fodbold Club Sunday Soccer Ses-sions. The sessions will run from between 6:00 p.m.—7:30 p.m. every Sunday. Some sessions may be held on Saturdays, and if this is the case, club participants will be notified be-fore hand at practices or by checking for any changes on the bulletin board

We need foster parents willing to pen their hearts and homes for short and long term place-ments. We encourage all families to attend the informational meeting. Maybe you are not sure about long term placements; consider trying short term respite care.

Please join us and meet some of our staff and experienced foster parents to learn more about the youth in Lewis county. If you have any questions, please feel free to con-tact Linda Leonard at 376-5403.

Thank you and we hope to see you there.

her first of what we hope to be many varsity softball wins. The team also swept the eventual playoff champion Alex Bay, including an extra inning nail biter on the road. In addition, Copenhagen was the only D Division school to win a crossover game against a C Division school when we beat Beaver River in the bottom of the 7th inning by a score of 3-2 at home. We were very competitive in the South Jefferson Tournament, a sunny Saturday that saw us lose to Class B Section III Champion South Jefferson by a score of 9-4. The Lady Knights then dropped a heartbreaker to Class C Phoenix in the consolation game. The team also competed in Mudville for the first time, playing in the Emma Durant Memorial Tourna-ment. The team opened play with a solid win over Class C East Roches-ter before falling to Mayfield, another Class C school from section 2, in the finals. Overall the Lady Knights played three teams that made their sectional championship games this year, including 2 Section II Champi-

ons. Offensively the team was

led by senior captain Sarah Jolliff who had a team best .339 batting average and 21 hits. She was fol-lowed by Rachel Muncy at .322 and Morgan Kiernan at .316. Freshman Rachel Muncy led the team in RBI with 13, slugging percentage with a .458 and total bases at 27. Dan-ielle Eisel led the team in runs scored at 14, and stolen bases with 11 swipes. Sarah Jolliff notched 118 innings pitched, accounting for all but 6 innings all season. She fin-ished with a record of 5-13, but only gave up 52 earned runs for an ERA of 3.08. She also walked less than two hitters per game and totaled 73 strikeouts on the season. Defen-sively the team was led by Taylor Church who made only 4 errors in 126 opportunities.

Despite saying goodbye to two key seniors, the team will have a strong core of returning starters

2010 was a rough year for the Lady Golden Knights. The team never did seem to find its’ groove, but it did display a lot of tenacity and heart. The team finished with a 6-13 overall record, and a 5-9 league mark. This put the team in a 4th place tie with Sackets Harbor in the league. The team missed the play-offs by virtue of the tie-breaker rule which went to head-to-head games, and Copenhagen was 0-2 against Sackets this season. The team was eligible for sectional play and lost in the opening round by a score of 7-1 to a Hamilton that didn’t lose in sectional play until they made it to the Section III Championship game.

Despite the record, the team played in a lot of close games, but just couldn’t seem to find any good luck when they needed it. The team was able to sweep their season series against Lyme, and in one of the games saw Brianne Spaulding get

9/7/10 First day of practice for Modified Teams

10/4-10/9/10 PINK WEEK

All student-athletes must have a physical before they may be-gin practice. Most student-athletes had one the last month of school. In

addition, all forms must be turned in within 30 days of the start of the season. These forms are the physi-cal recertification form and the ath-letics contract. These forms will be mailed home for fall athletes and should be returned to the main of-fice of the school PRIOR to the first day of practice. Student athletes who have done this will receive their white card which must be given to their head coach before they are eligible to practice. No player may participate in any part of practice until they have handed their coach their white card. Any student who plans on playing a fall sport and did not receive a physical in the spring should contact the school nurse as soon as possible.

Have a safe summer!

I have been watching all of the staff and teachers pack up their classrooms and get their rooms and areas clean for summer, yet on the fields behind the school Mr. McGraw and his staff have laid down our soccer fields and the goals are ready to go. Despite the fact that practice will not begin until the end of August for fall sports, many of our student-athletes have already been very busy getting ready, keep-ing our fields constantly busy with practices and games for the various summer leagues we have going on. The fields will remain busy up until the start of the season, and the ac-tion inside is starting to pick up as the basketball teams get ready for their summer leagues and camps.

We became a competitive team exhibiting aggressive base run-ning and rallying as a team through-out every game.

I would like to extend a very special thank you to Nicole Henry for being a wonderful volunteer assis-tant coach and comrade to the team. Her work ethic and knowledge of the game made her an incredible asset to the team. Also, we would not have had the success we did without our managers Emma Roberts, Sydney Greene and Kylie Tomaselli. These girls helped fill-in during warm-ups and practice wherever a partner was needed in addition to their managing responsibilities.

Last but not least, thank you so much to all of the parents and spectators for helping out with the team coaching bases, supplying food, scorekeeping and most of all support-ing these fine young ladies.

Junior Varsity Softball

Coach Tamie Stephenson

The JV Girls Softball Team had a successful season. They found out that hard work can pay off! The team played extremely tough against the larger opponents they faced. The team’s overall record ended up 10-9. All the fans saw the improvements the ladies made throughout the sea-son. I would like to thank Bruce Ev-ans for all of his help throughout the season. You put in a lot of time. I would also like to thank Lori Griffin and Luke Evans for keeping score. Lastly, thanks to our parents and fans for their support this season. Mem-bers of the team included: Brianne Spaulding (captain), Taylor Murtha

(captain), Melissa Baker (captain), Cassidy O’Donnell, Rachel Griffin, Alicia Evans, Cierra Dicob, Liz Martin, Logan Wheeler, Erika Eddy, Brittany Tanner.

Modified Boys Baseball

Coach Scott Randall

The Modified Boys’ Base-ball team ended their 2010 season with a record of 4-6-1. The boys worked hard and improved all sea-son long. Offensive leaders included Andy Freeman with a batting aver-age of .408. Others included Anto-nio Figueroa (.393), Cory Moser (.387), and Greg Kunert (.351). Travis Clarke added the team’s only homerun of the season with a shot that helped lead the Knights over IHC. Pitchers Brandon Moser, Nate Freeman, and Greg Pelan all recorded wins throughout the sea-son.

This year’s roster also included the following players:

Dallas Church

Garrett Munden

Tristan Myers

Josh Snyder

Sam Williams

Kevin Carroll

Special thanks go out to Ken Clarke, Sue Parker, and manag-ers Caleb Moser and Brandon Moser. Thank you to all the parents who sup-ported the team through-out the season.

next year, and will be adding several players who got considerable playing time and experience this season at the JV level. This year’s varsity team included: Sarah Jolliff Senior Emily Lance Senior Taylor Church Junior Danielle Eisel Junior Morgan Kiernan Junior Taylor Doner Junior Bethany Deveines Junior Jillian Riccio Junior Katrina Freeman Junior Autumn Moser Sophomore Alexandra LaBarge Sophomore Rachel Muncy Freshman Sarah Jolliff, Danielle Eisel, and Morgan Kiernan were all named Frontier League All-Stars. Rachel Muncy and Bethany De-veines were both selected as Frontier League Honorable Mention. The team was also honored as a NYSPHSAA Scholar Team.

Renee Eisel deserves a big thank you for keeping our books and assisting as a base coach. Her input is invaluable and it is always nice to have somebody who knows the game to discuss strategy with during the season. We also appreciate the hard work of John McGraw, Dale Clarke and Ron Trainham for keep-ing our fields playable.

Modified Girls Softball

Coach Cathy Snyder The Modified Girls Softball team ended their season 9-3. This year’s squad had a sensational sea-son full of huge improvements, teamwork and incredible sportsman-ship.

I was very impressed with the level of play, the leadership these young ladies conducted themselves with (on and off the field) and their willingness to learn with such enthu-siasm.

Varsity Baseball—2010, Coach Jim Spaulding

The 2010 Varsity Baseball Team finished an incredible season with a 20-3 overall record. During that run they won the League Championship finishing with a 13-1 league record. The team then captured the Playoff Championship by defeat-ing Lyme 15-0 in the first round game and then beating Belleville-Henderson 13-2 in the championship game at the Water-town Fairgrounds. The team continued its winning ways by winning the next four rounds in sectional play to earn being crowned as the Section III Class D Champions. The team then entered State play against Section IV champions, Hancock, in which they would defeat 6 to 1 to win the Central Region Championship. Next up for the Knights, the State Final IV Championship in Binghamton, New York. The team lost in the State semi finals to Bolivar-Richburg and finished its season with a final ranking of 3rd overall amongst “D” class schools in the State. Although the team fell just short of its goal of a State Title, their accomplishments over the season reflect great credit to them, Copenhagen Central School and our commu-nity.

The team put up some impressive offensive numbers, one which included 62 extra base hits over the season, fifteen of those being homeruns. Jake Spaulding led the team in hits with 36 while Chris Kellogg, David Hovendon and John Hanchek followed with 35, 30 and 29 respectively. Chris Kellogg slugged out a team best 13 extra base hits and 32 RBI’s while finishing with a team high .493 batting average. John Hanchek (.453) and Jake Spaulding (.434) rounded out the lead-ers for batting average. Blake LaBarge led the Club in home runs with five while batting .383 on the year. Ryan Fitzpatrick finished with ten extra base hits including four home runs and a final batting average of .312. Dave Hovendon (.375) and Josh Spaulding (.295) each finished the season with a team best 14 stolen bases. Alex Moser (.255) set the schools single season walk record tallying 23-base on balls over the year. Derek Moser finished the season with 12 hits and 14 walks and a final average of .214 at the plate. Chad Tessier (.133) made the most of his at bats driving in a total of 9 RBI’s on the season. Chad was responsible for driving in all 3-runs during our only league loss to rival Sackets Harbor. During a four game

stretch of the season, Collin Hess was asked to play up and he contributed many valuable innings towards the team’s suc-cess. Collin would later be added to the varsity roster for the playoff run.

The pitching rotation was made up of the following players; Chris Kellogg, Dave Hovendon, Alex Moser and Jake Spaulding. Chris finished with a 10-2 record throwing 72 innings and finishing with a stingy 1.94 ERA. Dave threw 58 innings finishing with a 7—0 record and an ERA of only 1.34. Alex finished with a 3—1 record while Jake only threw 5-innings but they were all valuable innings so we could rest the other’s arms.

Defensively the team was anchored by all nine position players as everyone played spectacular throughout the year.

Chris Kellogg, Blake LaBarge, David Hovendon, Jake Spaulding and John Hanchek were all named to the Frontier League all-star team for their accomplishments. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Spaulding were named to the Honorable Men-tion Team. Adam Aubin was also named All-Star for his hard work and dedication on the year.

The following players will be lost to graduation this year; Ryan Fitzpatrick, John Hanchek, David Hovendon, Blake LaBarge and Chris Kellogg. They will certainly be missed as their career stats indicate.

The Team would like to thank Kyle Clarke for his dedication as the teams score keeper. To all the parents and the

many fans that supported the team throughout the year. Special thanks to each and everyone that made our final four send off a moment that we will always remember!

Parents and guardians should call 688-4411 to make a registration appointment.

The District will again be doing its annual census. Starting August 1, 2010 Mrs. Phyllis Gaines and Mrs. Deborah Woodruff will attempt to call or visit each home in the District. One rea-son for the visit is to take the opportunity to discuss with parents the Free or Reduced Meal Program and what the program means to you, your children and to the school district. All parents are urged to take a serious look at signing up for the program if you qualify.
