The Agate-Zornow House Website
Right before the Covid-19 shutdown in the winter of 2020, we began working on this website about the historic Agate-Zornow house. After the shut-down, the class was determined to complete the project. I could not be more proud of their work, most of it done online! This website won an Honorable Mention in the New York State Archives Partnership Trust Student Research Awards. Click the image to check out the project!
2018-2019
Pizza Box Biographies
We interviewed Veterans from the American Legion Rayson-Miller American Legion Post and told their stories in a unique, fun way - in a Pizza Box! After they were completed, we held a ceremony. Our Veterans were the guests of honor! Local politicians, School Board members, representatives from the administration and our parents all game to celebrate!
A few weeks later we took our presentation on the road. We were invited to present our Pizza Box Biographies at the Pittsford Senior Center Luncheon.

Both projects can be ordered through our Shutterfly Share Site - email me for more information.
We completed two augmented reality books during the 17-18 school year. Veterans' Voices was an amazing experience that touched so many. Click the picture of the book to go to our page for that project.
Our second book, Eight Brave Civil War Soldiers of Pittsford Cemetery, was completed in partnership with author and historian, Mrs. Vicki Masters Profitt. We researched eight sliders using census records, old newspapers, muster role abstracts, diaries and other sources. We did our best to tell how these soldiers contributed to our nation through their service, and then how many contributed to our community after the war. We entered it in the NYSE Archives Student Research Awards Contest and won First Place! We traveled to Albany and were honored at a luncheon at the State Archives.
