Dear Fairport Community:
Yesterday afternoon we were all receiving multiple alerts and text messages of the protests and unrest at our Nation’s Capitol. Since then, the news outlets and social media feeds have been surreal, sharing unearthly footage of the desecration of the United States Capitol Building.
This school year, Minerva DeLand created a Student Leadership group for students have a safe place to have conversations comfortably with each other.
