The Champlain Valley Athletic Council voted earlier today to postpone the start of Wrestling. The decision came after consultation with the Clinton County Health Department and the five wrestling schools. “As difficult as this decision is, we feel that this is in the best interest of our schools,” said CVAC Executive Secretary Greg Myers. “Wrestling has not been cancelled for the 2020-21 school year, it will be reevaluated at a later date.”
Northern Adirondack will be closed Wednesday, February 3rd for a Snow Day. All deliveries planned for tomorrow will be postponed. Please Remain Safe.
Good evening NAC families. Governor Cuomo has added Clinton County to his State of Emergency list as a result of the expected snow storm that will impact us tomorrow. Therefore, Northern Adirondack will have a Traditional Snow Day tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2nd. I hope all of our students have an opportunity to take advantage of the snow by enjoying some safe fun outdoors.

One of Mrs. Whelden's 3rd & 4th grade reading groups has been reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls. After they read about building a 'coon trap, Mrs. Whelden built one in her living room during a Google Meet and challenged her students to do the same with household materials. These are some of their amazingly imaginative homemade traps!
The description in the book is:
-find a log
-bore a hole about 6 inches down
-bright shiny object cut in a circle to sit flat on bottom of bored hole
-4 nails, drive in on a slant opposite each other, the nails will enter the hole about halfway down
-leave an opening between the sharp ends of nails big enough for a coon to get his paw in
