How fun is this?! During a recent reading lesson, Mrs. Kristin Janes’ kindergarteners performed “surgery” on some ailing words. Students fixed their “patients” with missing vowels and beginning and ending sounds and tapped out syllables on their stethoscopes. (Photos courtesy of Kristin Janes)

FARM TO SCHOOL: Our most recent taste-testing event was made possible by New York Chips, a family-owned business based in Gainesville that started out in 1943 as an 80-acre dairy farm and is now a major supplier of potatoes and producers of potato chips in North America. New York Chips donated several of their chip varieties and our elementary, middle and high school students enjoyed trying them all - including the company’s signature Spiedie Chip, which captures the classic chicken barbecue flavor found in Spiedie sauce. A huge thank you to New York Chips for your generous donation! (Photos courtesy of Alicia Spoth)

This kid can FLY. Joe Parkhurst had a strong showing this morning in the preliminary round of the 50-yard freestyle at the New York State Swimming and Diving Championships at Ithaca College, breaking his own school record with a time of 21.14. This qualifies Joe for the finals tomorrow morning. Joe is also competing in the 100-yard breaststroke later today. Keep an eye out for updates from that race. Joe’s pictured below during warm ups at Ithaca. And yes, his hair is purple. We’d have preferred blue and orange but as long as he keeps breaking records, we’ll allow it.
