Today, School Resource Officer Deputy Sam West led our fifth grade students in a lesson on CPR. West covered how to assess a scene, the best ways to check for breathing and a heartbeat, how to use an AED and proper CPR technique. Above all, West stressed the importance of calling 911 as soon as possible and continuing to give aid until help arrives. We obviously hope this is a skill our students never have to put to use but we’re grateful to Deputy West for sharing his expertise!

Fourth graders attended a concert by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and stopped at the Memorial Art Gallery to take in some of its exhibits during a field trip yesterday. The theme of the concert was orchestra dances, so all the RPO’s selections were pieces of dance music throughout history and from all around the world. Attica students made up a small portion of the nearly 2,000 students who traveled from the greater Rochester area to see this special educational performance. Nothing brings people together like music! At the Memorial Art Gallery, students had the amazing opportunity to see how art has influenced society and culture throughout history and all around the world. Students got to see hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt, beautifully crafted pieces of armor from the Medieval Era and abstract art by living artists. Many thanks to the Eastman Theater, RPO and MAG for hosting us - our students had a blast! (Photos courtesy of Austin Matson, Sara Lewinski and Jill Farrell)

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)
