Craig Wollman and students from Freeman Academy unload rakes out of the bed of a pickup to tackle a leaf-raking job in Freeman — their fourth house of the morning. The private, Christian-based school serving students in grades K-12 is today canvassing the town for its annual Community Service Day in which students and staff rake and haul leaves for residents who have called in and scheduled the work. It's a full day and a big job that goes back to the 1970s; watch for a story in the Nov. 12 edition of The Courier.

The development this week comes after a teacher tested positive for the virus; most students in grades 5-9 are considered close contacts and, per guidelines of the CDC, are quarantined through Tuesday, Nov. 17.

Canistota/Freeman head coach James Strang visits with the team after the Pride took care of Philip 50-0 in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs in Canistota Thursday night, Oct. 29.
