    Moise Voltaire & Jerry Alexandre
      Score Again at Geography Bee

    For the 2nd year in a row, 7th graders Moise Voltaire and Jerry Alexandre are Cleveland Street School's Geography Champions!  In 2017 when they were 6th graders, Moise and Jerry, with their Social Studies teacher, Mr. Marc Levenson, were Orange school district winners. (Scroll down to see that story)

    Grade 5 through Grade 8 students competed in the district wide Geography Bee on May 16 at Park Avenue School.  Teams of students for Cleveland Street, Oakwood Avenue Community, Rosa Parks Community, Park Avenue and Lincoln Avenue Schools were organized by grade levels to see which team could answer the most questions relating to locations in these United States, mountains and lakes around the world, geographic coordinates, popuations and more.  The fifth and sixth graders battled it out in elimination rounds before the final competition.  The winning team was Rosa Parks Community School with a score of 50 points and second place winner Park Avenue School, with a score of 30.

    After elimination rounds, the seventh grade winner was Cleveland Street School, scoring an impressive 80 points against Lincoln Avenue School team, with a score of 30.  

    The Geography Bee Coordinators were Ms. Linda Epps, Supervisor of Social Studies and Technology, Dr. Denise Harlem, Technology Coordinator, and Mr. Marc Levenson, Social Studies teacher at Cleveland Street School, who served as emcee for the evening.  The Bee judges were Dr. Terri Russo, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, and Assistant Principals Devonii Reid and Joshua Chuy.  Principal Dr. Erica Stewart managed the game components.

    World Read Aloud Day
    February 1, 2018

     read aloud

    Mrs. Nancy Lasher and her Science students participated in the 2018 World Read Aloud Day on February 1, 2018.  Each year, World Read Aloud Day motivates learners to celebrate the power of words and stories and going global connects students nationally and worldwide. 

    Mrs. Lasher coordinated a Skype connection with a 5th grade class in Derry Cooperative School District in Derry, NH.   The students in both classes took turns reading and sharing pictures with each other.  Mrs. Lasher’s students read AAAArrggh! Spiders and Anansi Does the Impossible! – two captivating stories about spiders.

    After each class shared two of their favorite stories, they shared interesting facts about their school, city and state.   The interaction between the students was very genuine, intrigued by seeing students different but very much alike in their school environment.
