AHS art teacher Allison Feenaughty recently took upperclassmen art students to visit Alfred University. They toured the art facility, explored the ceramic museum, grabbed a snack at the Terra Cotta Coffee House and, of course, hit the bookstore. This great day was topped off by watching AU art students sculpt clay figures and blow glass in the hot shop.
Good luck to all our cross country athletes this weekend at States! Way to go, Wolves!!!
Congratulations to Drew Glover (trumpet), Bryan Hess (baritone saxophone) and Brenton Hess (french horn) for being selected to attend the NYSSMA Zone 15 Junior High Area All-State Music Festival held this past weekend in Hornell. The students were selected based on scores they earned at an adjudication held last spring, where they were required to perform an approved solo, sight-reading and scales for a NYSSMA certified adjudicator. The Area All-State Music Festival in Hornell included rehearsals on Friday and Saturday and a culminating concert featuring the Junior High Area All-State Choir, Orchestra and Bands. Congratulations to these students on this outstanding achievement!

Some of our alums might recognize a club named the Yorkers from their time at Arkport. The Yorker club was created to learn about and travel to local/State historic sites. Ms. Robins has brought the club back this year. The district wanted to shout out the students restarting the club. The students had our first community service project yesterday after school and spent the whole time raking leaves. They all did amazing and are already asking when the next project is! Let them know you're proud if you see any of these incredible world-changing sixth graders.

This past week, Mrs. Feenaughty, took a crew of four seniors up to RIT for national portfolio day. There, Bella, Jenna, Yasmin ford, Sedona had their collections of artwork reviewed by representatives from colleges they intend to apply to and received their feedback. We got dinner at chipotle to celebrate their courage (it isn't easy to be so vulnerable) and their dedication to their craft.
Another great addition to Arkport's cafeteria!
