We realize that many of our students rely on breakfast and lunch that they receive each day at school. We have updated our nutrition plan for the remainder of the mandatory school closure that ensures that students who need these meals will be able to get them.
We are following guidance from the health department to limit exposure and maintain social distancing. Staff will pass out meals at the Harding Jr/High School, Vine Street entrance near the Fairport Library. A Riverside/Fairport staff member will come to your car to get your student's names and then bring the meals to you. Students do not need to be present, and we would prefer only one person per family to come to pick the meals up. The meal pick-up plan is to protect both staff and families.
The school district will provide meal pick-ups on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for the duration of the state-mandated school closure.
Important: Children from birth to age 18 may receive meals offered regardless of enrollment. Please do not exit your car; a staff member will come to your vehicle to pass out the meals. Thank you!

Good luck to Charlie Holbrooks competing today from her home computer at the Power of the Pen Regional tournament. She is an 8th grade complete rockstar. She faithfully attends our weekly writing club meetings. Mrs. Ring & Mrs. Knight are extremely proud of her!
The January tournament at Lake Erie College was her 1st attempt. She shared yesterday how she really enjoyed it and got the hang of it. She was a little nervous about today because it is online and in a new format
Mrs. Ring and I assured her that she can do this. She has a ton of potential as a writer and she also possesses the courage to share her stories and ideas. Charlie has a smile that can even light up a computer screen! It made my day.
Update from Charlie:
Prompt #1
“Who’s idea was that anyway? Explain what happened.”
She titled her story: "Be a Lady."
Now who wants to read it? I know I do.Update #2 from Charlie:
Prompt #2 was, “Hesitation. What makes people hesitate?”
Her story was titled “Teenage Turmoil”
Sounds intriguing to me!!
Now onto judging.......
