2017-18 Sports Report:
From Chuck Freeman, Athletic Director......
Overview
I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve this past year and look forward to the next. I have learned so much, and hope to build on this year….and know a whole lot more what to expect and what is expected of me.
It is my observation that teamwork is a huge positive aspect about our athletic program at McGraw. Year highlighted by working together with administration, maintenance, bussing, working out scheduling conflicts with other programs (ex. music), working with nurses, interfacing with the village (through Tom McCall), student and parental volunteers as well as teacher cooperation. It is a big team that makes this work!

Grad Walk:
On their final day as high school students, the Class of 2018 visited the elementary school in the third annual “Senior Walk.” This tradition has the graduating seniors walk through the hallways of the elementary school while the younger students cheer, hold signs, and give high fives. This event aims to inspire the younger students to work hard and lets them participate in congratulating the seniors on completing their thirteen years as McGraw Eagles. It allows the older students to serve as r ole models and gives them a chance to revisit the building where they first began their education. After the walk, the Class of 2018 took a group photo with Mrs. Dimorier’s Pre-K class - the McGraw Class of 2031.

Grade 4 Field Trips:
The fourth grade was fortunate enough to go on two field trips this year to help end an amazing school year.
The first field trip was to Cortland Repertory theater to see Wizard of Wonderland: Dorothy Meets Alice . The play was funny and enjoyed by all the students. We would like to give a huge thank you to the PTO for the funds they provided and Mr. McCall for providing a bus.
The second field trip was to the Cortland County fairgrounds for the Ag-Stravaganza. The trip was a learning experience for all the students. They learned about the various animals, resources, and technology used for farming in Cortland county. Again thank you to Mr. McCall for providing the bus and Cornell Cooperative Extension for inviting us to the event.

Using Google Apps:
Google has many different apps that students at the elementary can use. Students with writing difficulties have benefitted from using Google Docs with voice typing options. This has allowed students to express their ideas even if they have difficulty with spelling or the physical aspect of writing. Google Forms can be used to create a variety of assessments, such as spelling tests.
Pictured below is a student taking a modified spelling test created on Google Forms. His spelling test was able to be modified with multiple choice questions where he would choose the correct spelling, or short answer questions where he was given the letters of a spelling word that were mixed up and he had to spell it correctly. Taking spelling tests in this format helped him to stay engaged since it involved ...

Senior Trip:
On June 8-10, students from the senior class traveled to Cleveland, OH for the annual senior trip. Students spent Friday at Kalahari, Ohio’s largest indoor waterpark, where they had a blast on water slides like the “Zimbabwe Zipper,” the “Serengeti Sidewinder,” and the “Extreme Rush.” On Saturday, students visited the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. At the zoo, students fed giraffes, watched an African elephant crossing, visited the Rain Forest, and viewed more than 600 different plant and animal species. On Saturday evening, the students engaged in some friendly competition between each other and their chaperones as they played indoor glow-in-the-dark laser tag and whirlyball, a game that combines bumper cars, lacrosse, and basketball into ...
