What a wonderful evening at Heritage Hall!
Last evening, students had the opportunity to share what they've learned over the past month about our local history! Thanks to the amazing support of our teachers, local artists, and community members, students enjoyed hands-on learning experiences right in their classrooms.

Be sure to ask your student what they've learned about the milk industry here in Cincinnatus! 🐄🥛

A special THANK YOU to our talented artists: Devon MacRae, Sophie Orzechowski, Smyrna Citizens Band, Austin MacRae, and Meghan Libous; local business owner Alexis Aldrich; and our wonderful educators: Mrs. Poli, Mrs. Haskins, Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Sautter, Mrs. Steinhoff, Miss Cochran, Mrs. Silva, Mrs. Gates, Mrs. Knickerbocker, Mrs. Guy, Ms. Wasielewski, and Mrs. Symons.

❤️ We are so grateful for the community support that made this special learning experience possible. Thank you for helping bring our local history to life!

10/21/2026 at Heritage Hall. The evening began at 5 p.m. with an outdoor light supper of chili, rolls, sandwiches and ice cream, complete with guitar, fiddle and harmonica folk tunes. Inside at 5:45, an audience of 160 people watched a narrated slide show of photographs about Cincinnatus's milk industry (1898 to the present day). Then came the students' creative expressions of what they had learned (after working with the local history and various artists during September and October): their paintings, their banners and printed slides, their singing and dancing. The evening ended with an encore: a rousing rendition of "This Land Is Your Land" sung by the chorus and the audience.

NOTE: This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the NYS Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature and administered by CNY Arts.

This is owner of D's Dairy Treat, Alexis Aldrich, visiting with Mikayla Gates' Ag students about her ice cream business. Many a question was answered, and even the classroom goat was attentive.

NOTE: Today marks the near end of CAHS's classroom contact sessions with CCS students, sessions in which portions of Cincinnatus's rich local milk industry history were presented . On Wednesday of next week, students, teachers, artists, families and community members gather at Heritage Hall to share what students have learned. The program begins at 6:00, with a narrated historical slide show at 5:50.

After looking at and having conversations about historical photographs of Cincinnatus's booming milk industry (1898-1960's), first graders and fifth graders used what they learned to create watercolor paintings of their own. See these on display at Heritage Hall at 6 p.m. on October 21st.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the NYS Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature and administered by CNY Arts.
