Thank You to Our Local Canine Units!
We’d like to extend a big thank you to the dedicated canine units from Chemung and surrounding sheriff departments for participating in a training exercise today at Thomas A. Edison High School and Cohen
Middle School.
This collaborative effort supports both the ongoing training of these incredible teams and reinforces key elements of our school district safety plans.
Today’s visit was focused solely on training—not a social event—and no students were present in the areas where the dogs and handlers were working.
We are incredibly grateful for the work these professionals do every day to help keep our schools and communities safe. Thank you—and stay safe out there!

Thank you Tanglewood for coming to CMS, bringing some friends, and hanging out with our Science Club!
