Calling all Grade 3 – 6 students: Toppers on the Run stepping off this spring
Toppers on the Run is a new program beginning this spring.
All grade 3 – 6 students are welcome to join the fun.
This program is designed to promote students’ physical wellness, social-emotional growth and build meaningful connections for them in the school and village community.
This program will take the place of the district’s Girls on the Run club.
Through structured running practices, intentional social-emotional learning and service opportunities, students will build confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.
WHEN: The program will run after school from April 13 – June 3, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3 – 4 p.m. Families are responsible for transportation after practice; there will be no district transportation.
WHERE: Harry Hoag Elementary School
OTHER DETAILS: A race to end the season will be held on June 6.

Families of interested students are asked to complete this form by March 13. Please fill out a separate form for each child in your family that is interested in joining the program.

NO SCHOOL – Spring Break
Staff Spotlight: Meet Kolbe Gray – Jr./Sr. High School Teacher
Join us in shining a spotlight on Jr./Sr. High School Social Studies Teacher Kolbe Gray.
“Kolbe Gray’s commitment to Fort Plain and our students is clearly visible any time you walk past her classroom,” said Fort Plain Jr./Sr. High School Principal Katrina Canallatos. “Whether she is leading engaging instruction or welcoming students before school, during lunch, after school and throughout the day, her room is consistently filled with energy, conversation and connection. It reflects the trust she builds, the care she shows, and the sense of belonging she creates for our students.”
“Kolbe is known for the relationships she builds, and relationships are the foundation of learning,” added Interim Superintendent Karen Geelan. “When students feel seen, heard and valued, they thrive — academically and personally. The connections our staff build each day truly make the difference in Fort Plain.”
Making history come alive for students—and making sure their school days are filled with enrichment and excitement—is what inspires Kolbe Gray and her approach to teaching.
While she always knew she wanted to be a teacher, what and where to teach became crystal clear after student teaching as a SUNY Oneonta undergraduate in the classrooms of veteran Fort Plain educators Will Ryan and Katie Sacco.
“They both have a way of making history come alive for their students and I knew that was something I wanted to do for students, too,” said Gray. “I’m a big proponent of project-based learning that helps the students make connections between what happened in the past and their own lives. It’s great when the kids are enjoying the topic and really immersed in history. When this happens, it’s when I love history most.”
Now in her eighteenth year of teaching, Kolbe Gray has spent her entire career with the Fort Plain district.
Along with leading both junior and senior high school social studies and college-in-the-high school coursework, Gray serves as the junior class advisor, advisor for the school’s Junior and Senior National Honor Societies and graduation coordinator.
“I’ve had so many conversations about what they hope to do beyond these four walls,” said Gray. “It’s heartwarming when they ask for advice on their careers and college plans, and even more so when recent graduates return to observe my classroom as they begin their own journeys into teaching. This is truly a full circle moment.”
Gray says a true benefit of living and teaching in Fort Plain is the ability to really get to know the students and impact their growth and learning in meaningful ways.
“The Fort Plain community and our students mean so much to me. I wouldn’t want to be—or to teach—anywhere else,” said Gray.
Video released: Why a merger of the Fort Plain and Canajoharie districts is being discussed
An informational video has been created to help community members easily understand the proposed merger between the Fort Plain and Canajoharie school districts.
The video walks viewers through the merger informational one-sheet that was shared with the community earlier this year.
The one-sheet and accompanying video outline the benefits, opportunities, district configuration, projected building usage and enrollment details.
By offering a clearer picture of the merger’s goals, the school districts aim to reduce uncertainty and encourage open communication with residents.
Community members are encouraged to watch this short video—it takes only a few minutes and provides a valuable overview for anyone who wants to stay informed.
The merger video and informational sheet can be viewed on the merger resources website and on our Facebook account.
