From lockers to art gallery
High school lockers may not be in use for student belongings at this time, but they make an awesome gallery for pixel murals by Geoff Snyder’s Experiences in Art Class.
“Each student planned their design on graph paper first,” Mr. Snyder said. “Next, they calculated how many squares they would need and how many colors of each.
“Some of the murals are made up of more than 200 squares. Each student then arranged the squares, line by line, on larger paper for glueing.”
The students’ larger-than-life creations are displayed near the main high school entrance.
Surveying 7-12th grade students
Following recommendations by the New York State Education Department (SED), we are planning to administer a brief school-wide survey to identify the social-emotional needs of grades 7-12 students in the Fort Plain Junior-Senior High School.
The survey will be administered during an in-person school day the week of Sept. 28, and it will help us to better provide our students with the supports, services and resources they may need.
Parents or guardians who do not want their child to participate in the survey, or who have questions, should please contact the guidance office at 518-993-4000, ext. #2131, by Friday, Sept. 25.
