Open to all
interested students in grades 9-12, The Library Club strongly
encourages reading. Whole new worlds are opened through reading, and
we hope we can spread this message to all students. The club meets
in the media center on the third Wednesday of each month during
lunch. We also encourage students to participate in
Battle of the Books.
This year's fund-raiser includes a morning cafe,
in which we will sell hot beverages and baked goods to students and
staff. The money we make from this fund-raiser will go toward
library Club activities. The club also hosts a Scholastic Book Fair
with the goal of increasing the library's collection of paperback
books. High School Librarian Mary VanPatten is club advisor.
OK2XL
Fort Plain Central
School District recognizes that gifted and talented students have
unique needs not always met by the regular school curriculum or by
the ordinary resources of the community. Our programs are designed
to identify such students and their needs to provide individual and
group programs to meet those needs.
Gifted and talented students shall be defined as those
pupils who show evidence of high performance capability and
exceptional potential in areas such as general intellectual ability,
special academic aptitude, and outstanding ability in visual and
performing arts. A gifted and talented committee that is open to all
faculty members on a volunteer basis has final approval of those
students asked to join OK2XL activities. A general guide will be to
provide the most in programs for the most students.
The Fort Plain Sports
Booster Club and our athletes raise money throughout the year to
help all sports at all levels. Those funds are also used to sponsor
athletic and academic scholarships and several athletic functions
during the year. Sponsored events include receptions for fall,
winter and spring sports, as well as tournaments for volleyball,
girls’ and boys’ soccer, the annual cross country invitational,
boys’ and girls’ basketball, track sectionals, and softball. We also
sponsor a toy tractor show concession, a donkey basketball game and
the annual athletic banquet where athletes and teams are honored. We
encourage parents and community residents to become involved. Please
feel free to contact any one of our officers for more information.
Please help us promote the “TOPPER PRIDE SPIRIT!”
