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.

It’s close to 3 p.m. on a sunny Thursday in November. Brooks Hill families are waiting in the pick-up line, ready to greet their students – but the day’s duties are not quite finished. Members of the school’s new Raiders on Patrol and Honor Guard team line up at the flagpole to assist in the school’s daily flag-lowering ceremony. Under the guidance of School Guardian Todd Frank, a Master Sergeant with the Air National Guard, the students remove the flag, fold it and secure the flagpole halyard. 

Fifth-grade students selected to join the Brooks Hill Raiders on Patrol are assigned posts around the school during arrival and dismissal, and assist in keeping other students safe and aware of their surroundings during the busiest times of day. Students rotate their post assignments under the guidance of Brooks Hill Health Teacher Vicki Cappotelli and Mr. Frank. 

Raiders on Patrol have the opportunity to be selected for the Honor Guard, which is responsible for the respectful raising, lowering and storage of the American flag each day. 

“It has been a privilege watching our Raiders on Patrol who have been selected to serve as our Honor Guard at Brooks Hill,” said Cappotelli. “They have learned that honoring the American flag is an essential practice that demonstrates respect for the country’s history and values.”

Said Mr. Frank, “[T]he Safety Patrol Honor Guard Team is proud to participate daily in the time honored tradition of the folding of our American flag”.  

The students serving on the Honor Guard on that sunny November Thursday said they enjoy their part in the special assignment, and that being part of the Raiders on Patrol gives them a strong sense of belonging and leadership. They hope to continue their responsibilities when they move into middle school.

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.
