The Skipper Scoop

To celebrate Fairport's 200 year old lighthouse, Mrs. Caruso's students created these beautiful works of art!

Rose Caruso an Art Teacher with the Fairport School System has completed an Art Contest to color an image of the tower. Part 2 of the project- Students are creating painted images of our lighthouse. Students in grades 6 through 12 have participated in this project. There will be 4 judges selected to judge the artwork. The 10 winning pictures per age group will be laminated and displayed around the village. The judges will select a “Best of Show.”

Macey Rowan, a 2015 Harding High School graduate and now serving as a fisheries biologist for the State of West Virginia’s Department of Natural Resources, returned to Fairport April 22, 2025 to share her expertise with Ms.Tenon’s and Mrs. Caruso’s 7th grade students. The students have been participating in a pollinator and sustainability project, designing and creating pollinator gardens. After a brief talk about pollinators, fish, and careers in the sciences, Macey worked with small groups providing feedback on their garden designs. Next up, the 7th grade students will make their final garden designs and visit a local bee colony to learn about beehives and colony collapse.
