Fun with Dr. Seuss at Cambridge Intermediate School
The Daily Jeffersonian
Tuesday was a day of celebrating the birthday of the late Theodor Seuss Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss, for third-grade students at Cambridge Intermediate School.
Students and teachers dressed up in outfits resembling some of Dr. Seuss s most famous characters such as the Lorax and the Cat in the Hat.
The hallway was decorated as well, with a poster wishing Dr. Seuss a happy birthday surrounded by some of his children s books. Hot air balloons with books hung from the ceiling.
The students participated in activities centered around Dr. Seuss books such as making Cat in the Hat fruit kabobs from bananas and strawberries, making slime to represent the Oobleck from the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Another class used shaving cream to make puff paint to represent the Oobleck. Students in yet another class made little wockets, based off the book There s a Wocket in Pocket and others us

Feed My People food bank benefitting from city school district s fundraiser
Special to the Jeffersonian
A hashtag or what non-Twitter users may call a slogan, Cambridge City School District started using this school year is #CambridgeCares.
The hashtag was originally intended to let our students and families dealing with the pandemic know that the district cares about the health and well-being of each student. But its use is expanding to include all the acts of kindness that our students, teachers and staff engage in each and every day.
This week has been designated as Jeans Week where teachers and staff are permitted to wear blue jeans each day if they contribute to Feed My People, a food bank in town that is struggling to stay in business.

Cambridge Intermediate School raises money for Secret Santa
Staff Reports
What started as a crazy Christmas sweater competition between two teachers trying to have some fun with their students turned into a fundraiser for Secret Santa.
This year, students and staff at Cambridge Intermediate School raised $586 for Secret Santa in just four days as the school district transitioned to remote learning before the school could complete all 12 days of Christmas.
According to teacher Abby Knott, the friendly competition started a few years ago when Knott and fellow teacher Kelly Dunning started a contest to see who had the craziest Christmas sweaters.

“It was just a fun little game and the kids loved it so the next year we did it again and kind of had the kids verbally tell us who they though dressed better each day,” Knott said. “We even had online voting for the community via Twitter and Facebook. We had a blast and the kids loved it.”
