They are trained on emergency proceduresand also crowd control. It is their job to make sureyour students are safe once you drop them off andmore importantly, when the dance is over and theyhave to venture into the parking area. We ask allparents to please do not park in the fire lane! Pleasecheck your School District calendar for dates andtime changes.

The ChenangoCounty HistoricalSociety organized anevent to celebrate theChenango Canal thatonce travelled throughour region. This projectinvited each of the surrounding schools to create aneight-foot mural of the canal as it passed through eachrespective town.The Chenango Canal was a big part of the Sherburneand Earlville communities, so the Art Club decided totake part in this project. The Art Club first met with arepresentative of the Chenango County Historical Societyand the local Sherburne Historical Society to learn aboutthe history of the canal in our own backyard. Later, thestudent artists met with Mike Townsend of Golden ArtistColors, who provided a mini-class on methods and techniquesof acrylic painting.The mural was designed by S-E Senior Christina Davis(currently pursuing her art degree at Ithaca College) toreflect the major components of the Chenango Canalaround Sherburne. The eight foot mural was divided intothree different sections: The first was a map that tracedthe path of the canal through our area, while the othertwo were paintings of typical scenes that might have beenseen as the barges were pulled through the ChenangoValley. The HS Art Club students assisted Christina withthe painting of the mural, particularly Madelyn Fetzko,now a Junior at S-E. As the lead designer and creator,Christina Davis spoke on behalf of the Art Club and gavea speech to introduce the mural at the Folk Art Fair andCanal Dedication Ceremony in August.The High School Art Club would like to thank theChenango County Historical Society for reaching outwith this opportunity and to Golden Artists Colors forthe training and the donation of materials. The S-E mural,as well as the murals from others schools, are currentlyon display at the Chenango County Historical Societyin Norwich.— Jonathan Vaughn12 THE Maroon AND White
