6th Grade Chorus Learns Spanish Lullaby:
From the 6th Grade Chorus Students:
Our chorus is learning a beautiful lullaby in Spanish. Señor Cavo came to our class to help us with our pronunciation. He was good to work with and he knew what he was doing! He broke down what the Spanish was for us and helped us learn very quickly!! We enjoyed performing the song for him at the end of class. We can’t wait to sing it in both English and Spanish at our concert.
We love having him as our Fabius-Pompey Spanish teacher!! Thank you, Señor Cavo!!

3rd Grade Outreach Supply Drive:
Each year, the 3 rd grade works to collect supplies for the Fabius-Pompey Outreach. This year is no different! We are currently collecting toiletries and other personal care items to be donated before the holiday break. Personal care items are a big need for Outreach because they are something that cannot be purchased from the Food Bank.
The 3 rd grade students made signs to promote the drive, requesting items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Boxes were placed on each floor of the Elementary School so that each grade level had a place to collect donations. The 3 rd graders have begun to sort donations into categories in order to better organize the supplies that have already been received. Toiletries and personal care items will be collected ...

Communities Kickin' Cancer:
Communities Kickin' Cancer - A Fall Tradition in Our Community
Contributed by Brenda Zook, Communities Kickin' Cancer Board Member
The fall of 2020 was a season of disappointment. Our fifth annual Communities Kickin’ Cancer event was not able to take place due to the ongoing pandemic and concerns of gathering together. The Fabius-Pompey and Tully soccer teams, especially our seniors, missed out playing the “game of the year,” and both communities missed the gathering of two great teams on Route 80 in southern Onondaga County.
Fast forward – August 2021 we received great news. We’re Back! The sixth annual Communities Kickin’ Cancer event was a go. The Planning Committee gathered quickly and shared concerns about what this ...

Agricultural Education News:
Pumpkin Centerpieces
Students in grades 6 th , 7 th and 8 th grade Ag had the opportunity to create pumpkin centerpieces to celebrate the fall season. After learning the elements of floral design during the floral design unit, students were able to put their knowledge into practice! Students picked flowers, grasses, branches and other materials outside to add filler to their project. The centerpieces were either brought home or given to a teacher to enjoy. A special thanks to Springside Farm for donating the pumpkins we used. We could not have completed this project without your generosity and support of the Ag program!

3rd Grade Science Kit Connection to Honeybees:
“Hiwire Honeybees”
As a component of our most recent Science Unit, we covered how bees are connected to the pollination of flowers/crops in our environment. On January 17, Ray Lowe of Hiwire Honeybees in LaFayette, came in to share his beekeeping expertise with the 3rd graders. Students had prepared for his visit by reading several passages on ReadWorks, watching multiple video clips from a well known beekeeper (Mattie Moate), and creating a long list of questions for Mr. Lowe.
Ray brought an unoccupied hive so students could see what beeswax, honeycomb, and honey look like up close within the hive. Students were able to check out a beekeeper’s protective “uniform” along with the “smoker” used to distract bees while working with ...
