On May 22nd, the Girls Varsity Track Team traveled to South Lewis High School to compete in the Section C 1 & 2 meet.

First Grade Fieldtrip - Hospital Land:
On April 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd , each of the first grade classes took a fieldtrip to Hospital Land. This wonderful program for first-graders in the county is sponsored by Crouse Hospital.

Cold Weather Precautions:
INFORMATION TO PARENTS ABOUT COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Dear Parents:
At this time of year, it is a good idea to talk with to children about cold weather safety . Extra care is needed, especially in younger children, to be sure that frostbite does not occur.
It is important to check your children’s, even teens’, outerwear everyday during extreme weather conditions. Warm jackets, hats, scarves, boots, and an extra pair of dry gloves in their pockets will protect them during extremely cold temperatures.
Develop an emergency plan and teach your children your emergency plan in case you are not home before the bus comes to pick them up. If a bus is delayed, they need to know where, when, and how to get help if they think ...

Guest Artist Visit Elementary Students:
On Friday, November 15, Dr. Bob vonHunke visited Fabius-Pompey Elementary School to share his artistic expertise with a first and fourth grade. Dr. Bob is a retired art teacher from Fayetteville-Manlius who is an active, exhibiting artist. He also happens to be the grandfather of F-P students Lein and Siriah Walser. After showing some of his amazing acrylic paintings of scenes from as far away as China, a student asked how he creates a painting. It was a perfect lead-in for him to share the artistic process, which begins with ideas and inspiration. Dr. Bob takes many pictures and makes numerous sketches of places and things that catch his interest. From these, he “roughs” out the elements on a canvas and begins to develop and refine them, resulting ...

Fabius-Pompey Art Displayed at Crouse Hospital:
Mr. Hyatt is pleased to announce that students from his High School Studio Art classes are exhibiting their work at Crouse Hospital. The artwork is being displayed in a rotating exhibit that will be changed every two months throughout the school year. The exhibit is in three showcases located on the bottom floor across from the surgery waiting room.
The exhibit contains work done by students during their Friday Observation Drawings. Having students regularly engage in the process of observation drawing is the best way to train the eye to see and to build drawing skills. As part of the process, students set up their own still-life with objects provided by the art teacher. Students then need to complete three drawings within a 42-minute class. ...
