PRESS RELEASE

New partnerships are bringing new opportunities to students in the Honeoye Falls – Lima School District this year. A partnership with the Mendon Foundation will see continued support of HF-L student artists through the Mendon Foundation’s Mendon Station Festival, as well as ongoing support for Earth Day festivities.  New this year, the Mendon Foundation will oversee and manage finances for the Cougar Tech 2228 Robotics Team, which began last year and flourished with strong participation and great support from a number of community members and groups.

The District has also received a new grant totaling over $250,000 from the Greater Rochester Health Foundation.  The grant will allow the Manor School to initiate a program that capitalizes on children’s fascination with interactive technology. A virtual fitness lab will house interactive stationary bikes, an interactive sports wall and an XerDance machine.  The funds will also be used to market nutritional food purchases from the Manor School Cafeteria.

A partnership with the Honeoye Falls – Mendon Volunteer Ambulance Company (HFMVAC) will provide use of the Wellness Center and pool to members of the HFMVAC during community use times.  In exchange, HFMVAC will, when possible, continue to provide a standby EMT crew at home football games and will grant access to the District to its CPR training equipment and facilities for training purposes.
