Community

Eleventh grade honors students in the Fulton City School District recently partnered with the Wisdom Thinkers Network for a community oral history project. After months of research, writing, videotaping and editing, the oral history effort culminated with a presentation and community discussion in the Fulton Education Center auditorium.

Combined, these students have volunteered 9,409.74 hours in the greater community of Central Square Central. These hours multiplied by the NY State minimum hourly wage of $9 per hour is a savings of $84,687.75 to the non-profit organizations they volunteered with.

The grant, offered through the New York State Retired Teachers Association of Oswego County, will be used towards the purchase of training materials for the First Aid and CPR Unit that all Central Square seventh graders students participate in during health class.
