Recently, fourth grade students were tasked with writing about an influential woman in history they admired. They were asked to explain why she is someone others can look up to as well. Their essays were submitted to a contest sponsored by the Alfred-Almond American Association of University Women that was open to area schools.
The AAUW selected two winners, both from the Arkport fourth grade class, as winners! Evan Trimble and Otis Harper were recognized for their writing and were given the opportunity to read their essays to attendees at a banquet held in May. Both students received a medal in recognition of their work; congratulations to Evan and Otis!

ACS bus involved in minor accident
This afternoon, an Arkport Central School District bus returning from a field trip was involved in an accident. Wayland Fire Department and Emergency Response Teams responded. Emergency services medically cleared all students on the scene.
The Arkport Central School District wants to thank the Wayland Fire Department, Emergency Services, and the faculty and staff of Arkport for their quick and efficient response today.
We would also like to thank all the parents affected for your patience. Your cooperation ensured we were able to follow our safety procedures effectively.
We are happy to report that the students on the bus are safe and reunited with their families.
Ninth grade earth science and college biology classes rafted through Letchworth State Park. As they paddled down the river, students experienced the local geology and ecology. Did you know that Letchworth is known as the “Grand Canyon of the East”? The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls, surrounded by lush forests, making it one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S.
On Tuesday, May 9, 6:00 p.m., there will be a budget hearing, with the board of education meeting immediately following. It will be held in the chorus room; the public is welcome to attend.
