Lindsey Reddig — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 17:16:54 +0000

A new chapter of of technology education begins at Johanna Perrin Middle School as students take their first classes in the school’s new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) wing! The new spaces are the culmination of years of design, collaboration and construction as part of the voter-approved Fairport Forward 2019 Capital Improvement Project.

The STEM wing features three flexible classrooms with “garage door” separations that allow freedom of movement between classes and a central collaboration space. Mobile workstations, adjustable seating and in-room storage give students and staff an opportunity to use the classrooms as adaptable “maker spaces.”

The classrooms are designed with ample room for traditional machining and woodworking equipment, and feature a state-of-the-art dust collection system.

Fairport High School Art Club and DREAM Club welcome world-famous artist

Lindsey Reddig — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 19:49:51 +0000

Renowned Native American artist G. Peter Jemison paid a visit to Fairport High School’s Art and DREAM Clubs this week. Works by Mr. Jemison, a member of the Seneca Nation, are shown in galleries around the world. His art is strongly influenced by the concept of “orenda” – what his website defines as “the traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) belief that every living thing and every part of creation contains a spiritual force.” His work in many mediums, including collage, paint, sculpture and video, have been included in solo exhibitions and gallery shows across the U.S. and Europe.

Mr. Jemison spoke to FHS students about functional vessels that have been used throughout history and culture to carry items – everything from baskets to pottery. Many of his most famous works follow this theme, and were created on brown paper bags. As part of his visit to FHS, Mr. Jemison worked with students to create their own works on paper bags.

Mr. Jemison’s visit was organized by the student officers of the FHS Art Club.
