The Woodstock Primary School held its annual science fair on March 28, 2014.  Each grade level created a designated type of project.  Kindergarten created scientific collections; first grade made scientific displays; second grade constructed scientific models; and third grade conducted scientific experiments.  The projects filled the cafeteria and the gymnasium, giving our school the feel of a science museum.  This year we had more than 200 students contribute a project to the evening fair, nearly the entire school population!  The projects were very impressive, from jelly bean collections

On June 9 and 10 EMUFT will hold meetings to vote for two EMUFT delegates to attend the AFT National Convention, and to discuss the new pay schedule affecting our part time lecturers.

The Orchard Park High School Photography I & II classes had their annual photo show on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo at the “1045 Gallery for the Arts” over the weekend.  The photos that were at the event were crowd favorites that displayed the student’s skill in photography.  The photographs represented the student’s ability to capture excellent moments using proper composition and good exposure techniques.  There were many guests to come out and view the photos and a good time was had by all.
