A Fort Plain freshman accepted into a prestigious choral camp this summer
Sophia Rodgers will spend her summer at the School of Choral Studies at the New York State Summer School of the Arts (NYSSSA) held at SUNY Fredonia.
Only 60 students throughout the state in grades 8-12 are chosen for this musical honor.
Rodgers audition for the camp included a solo performance of “I Feel Pretty” from the musical West Side Story. She received instruction from Mrs. Sincavage, along with a pre-recorded piano accompaniment of the piece courtesy of Norma Bowley.

Students take up challenge to read
How do you convince students to read?
Junior/Senior High teachers Ted Arndt and Kevin Bogus found a great way. Last November, their class had read the first books in their immersive reading program. The class had done well, but Mr. Arndt wanted to their exceptional work.
He challenged them saying, “If you keep up this pace, you’re on track to read maybe 10 novels before the end of the year. Tell you what; if you make it, McDonalds is on me!”
That challenge paid off. On June 4th, the students who participated in the reading program and completed their tenth novel of the school year collected their reward. They enjoyed lunch from the Golden Arches.
The lessons students learned extended beyond getting a free lunch.
Ninth grader Amber Dillenbeck said, “I always thought that school was nothing. I thought it had no meaning. Now I understand why it is so important…and I am really proud!”
Mr. Bogus and Mr. Arndt share that pride.
“We are extremely proud of the students in this class and of all the hard work they put into ‘turning the page’ and accomplishing so much. Now, lets see if they can top this next year,” they said.
The students read the following books during the 2017-18 school year:
- “Freak the Mighty” by Rodman Philbrick
- “Blackbriar” by William Sleator
- “Agent Angus” by K.L. Donman
- “Cheat” by Kristin Butcher
- “Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key” by Jack Gantos
- “Esperanza Rising” by Pam Munoz Ryan
- “Loser” by Jerry Spinelli
- “Wonder” by R. J. Palacio
- “Hannah’s Touch” by Laura Langston
- “Bad Business” by Dianna Dakers
Six Fort Plain Central School faculty and administrative staff retire

Congratulations and best wishes to this group of individuals who have devoted their lives to supporting the children of Fort Plain.
National Honor Society inducts nine
The Fort Plain Central School National Honor Society inducted nine new members at its annual induction ceremony and banquet on Saturday, May 12, 2018.
The new members are Emily Abrams, Michael D’Arcangelis, Autumn Dodson, Sherry Huang, Quinn Jones, Elijah Jordan, Patrick Murphy, Bryce Thibodeau, and Mackenzie Wintermute.
Chapter president Michael Hoffman opened the ceremony by welcoming the attendees. He highlighted the four criteria to be considered for membership in NHS
- Scholarship—a minimum GPA of 89.955
- Service—volunteering at school aor in the community
- Leadership—in the classroom, athletics or extracurricular activities
- Character—good citizenship, ethics, and conduct both in and outside of
school.
He encouraged each inductee to exemplify the four pillars. He also reminded them that they have barely a year until left in high school.
“My advice to you, is to make the most of it before its gone,” he said.
NHS Vice President Ryhonn Ford led the “Pledge of Allegiance” and the quartet Harmony sang the “The Star Spangled Banner.”
National Honor Society Adviser Denise Smith then spoke, thanking the administration, faculty, and staff for their support of the Honor Society and the night’s event. She further thanked parents for supporting their children’s endeavors.
She offered NHS members advice collected over her years. Among the highlights were:
- Embrace life’s opportunities; find a cause; be inspired to do the impossible.
- Put down the technology when with other people—there is no app for meaningful eye contact.
- Don’t just make a living; make a difference.
- Making history means stepping outside your comfort zone and using your gifts and talents.
- Never stop learning and exploring.
- Live life with empathy, integrity, and class.
