2. Community Service Day
On May 26, 2011, students at the Cazeno-
via Middle School participated in a Community
Service Day. Our students traveled to local
venues to help with Spring cleanup. The loca-
tions included Highland Forest, the New
Woodstock Library, the Art Park, Nelson
Swamp, Lakeland Park, Lorenzo and the south
parking area of Cazenovia Lake. The day was
glorious and much was accomplished by our
400 students and staff.

5th Graders Finish in Top Five in The Great Race
Starting this past February,
as part of their Social Studies
class, Amy Conley’s 5th grade
class along with the daily help
of Beth Race (Middle School
Computer Lab Assistant),
using the name Caz Pizzaz,
took part in a Video Confer-
ence competition involving
over forty 5th grade classes
from across the country. The
object of the race was to visit
all of the required sites be-
tween Key West, Florida and
Maui, Hawaii in the quickest
amount of time, spending the
least amount of money. Three
forms of transportation had to
be used with the stipulation
that air travel could not be
used until they reached the
Pacific Coast. Months of team-
work took place to research
American Indian Reservations,
Civil War Battles, Man-made
and Natural Disasters, Under-
ground Railroad, National
Monuments, Weather, Terrain,
and Roads. In addition, they
researched the cost of travel,
lodging and food along the
way.
The Caz Pizzaz traveled
6,164 miles in 83 hours and 21
minutes, spending a total of
$1,462.20. The result? A
fourth place finish among all of
the 40 plus schools that par-
ticipated. Mrs. Conley’s class
video conferenced with the
Race Coordinator in Ohio and
other 5th grade classes from
around the country four times
in the four months the race
took place. Congratulations
Caz Pizzaz on a Great Race!

7. Health Office Hype
I will be sending paperwork home on all
students who had medication in the past and
physical forms for all those who are due for
a physical (all 7th grade students and all stu-
dents due for a CSE triennial review). All
medication taken during school or at modi-
fied sports events, even if over the counter,
requires paperwork completed by the par-
ent and physician. Students can carry an in-
haler with them only if that paperwork is
completed along with a self carry order by
the parent and doctor. Physicals should be
done by the family physician, please call for
appointments ASAP especially if your child

This is a mandatory requirement for entrance into 6th grade .
Please have your physician or clinic, complete this form and return it to the Health Office ASAP.

10 year olds entering 6th grade have 2 choices to prevent being excluded from school in the fall:
