Instructional opportunities at CPP https://www.corningareaschools.com/page/admin-instructional-opportunities
During the month of January, Miss Sue from the Southeast Steuben County Library has been visiting library classes at Calvin U. Smith and William E. Severn Elementary Schools to share upcoming winter programs and Winter Reading 2024 where students read to win using a Bookopoly board!
In the primary classes, Miss Sue is reading to students using different ways to share a story. She told stories while cutting a snowflake and another adding items to a felt board. With the older groups, she is providing book talks to encourage students to borrow books. This is such a fun time to visit the public library to check out books, make a craft, use the space maker and do STEM projects! Thanks, Miss Sue, for sharing your awesomeness with our students! Now let’s share our awesomeness with her by visiting our wonderful public library and joining in the fun at the Southeast Steuben County Library!

Thank you to Severn Elementary Librarian Mrs. Jennifer Taylor for this story!

Retired CPP Business teacher/Dean Mr. Mike Sheffer recently presented to CPPHS Business classes on the topic of financial literacy. He talked to students about how financial decisions they make now can affect their future, understanding debt, student loans, credit and investing. He took them through an app-based (Troutwood) exercise on their phones that showed how investing at a young age can result in financial security down the road.
