Fall Fall Festival Festival
The 2025 Fall Fest was a hit! Over 200 visitors stopped in for the classic haunted bus, practiced spraying the fire hose with the fire department, threw axes with the Canastota Recreation Department, and more. Over 15 community partners were able to stop in to be a part of this wonderful evening. We can’t wait to see everyone again soon!

Connected Madison was able to experience a Colgate Women’s Volleyball Game! While there the students were treated to a delicious lunch and ice cream treat provided by Gilligans Ice Cream. Each student also left with some Colgate swag! Thank you Colgate for this new experience for grades 1-5! Go ‘Gate! Colgate Women’s Volleyball

A Whole Person Approach
The Connected Rome Teams across all of our different projects continue our commitment to supporting all of the students, families, staff, and community members of the Connected Rome CSD through a whole person approach that addressesphysical,mental,andacademicwell-being.
This month alone, the Connected Rome Teams have hosted, co-hosted, or joined in over 50 separate events and programs designed to provide engaging and free opportunities to support the entire Rome community Highlights of these featured in this newsletter include our Rome Connected Healthy Homes: SIDs Awareness and Safe Sleep event promoting child well being from birth up, in-school programming with SNAP-Ed to promote healthy eating habits, and visits from community partners like First Source FCU and OnPoint for College to speak with students about potential careers and post-secondary education opportunities and resources As we think about what a portrait of a graduate looks like, we realize that it is a self-portrait and each student’s portrait looks different.
Oh, and we can’t forget….October was Halloween, so look inside for lots of fun andspookyphotosofallthetricksandtreatsatallofthetrunksandstreets!
