Recreation Department Column
By Steven Bauman
As the end of the school year approaches, activities in the Recreation Department are wrapping up. Recently for the Sports Awards Banquet, we recognized a few students for their participation in the After School Program. Melanie Wing and Michael Halbert were honored as the top bowlers of the year. Also, Danny Paine and Brittney Putter were honored for their hard work during the year in the S.A.B.A.H. program.
Throughout the months of May and June, students in the After School Program took advantage of the nice weather. Among the various field trips, we visited the Niagara Aquarium, played at several area parks and had Ice Cream at Mississippi Mudds.
During the month of June, many of our Residential students painted plywood boards for Erie County’s Peace Mural Project. The idea of this project was to paint the 8 foot boards with the student’s interpretation of the word “peace”. After Erie County collects the boards from various schools, they hope to put them up in place of broken windows on vacant homes throughout the city. Their creative minds came up with various images of peace symbols, flowers, butterflies and a baseball player. Everyone worked hard on this project; especially the students in Jr. Girls, Jr. Boys, MS girls and Sr. Girls departments.
