Community Literacy Focus for Fall
CNY Reads: North Star Conspiracy by Miriam Grace Monfredo

This is an annual initiative to promote literacy and community dialogue. The idea is to encourage everyone in the community to read the same book and then participate in discussions and events pertaining to the book. This year’s book is North Star Conspiracy by Miriam Grace Monfredo. The novel, set in neighboring Seneca Falls in 1856, deals with the women’s rights movement, the Underground Railroad, and life during the years just prior to the Civil War.

Fall Trainings September- December with CNYTC and STC

Here is how to register for a CNYTC or STC course.

  • Look through the Fall course/workshop offerings for both centers and determine which course you would like to take.
  • Send an E-mail to the FLAGS coordinator, Nancy Volk, stating the course title, teaching center (either CNYTC or STC), and dates you will be taking the course. This will allow us to budget for your attendance.
  • Follow the instructions in the program about how to register. Where DISTRICT is indicated on the registration form contained in the brochure, place the term- FLAGS.
  • FLAGS will pick up the cost for the training. Do not send payment.
  • The teacher centers will track FLAGS participants, their attendance and successful completion of the course and bill FLAGS for our participants once a term.
  • We would appreciate hearing from you regarding these opportunities. And we encourage you to broadcast this opportunity within your agency.
