Provided photo.Churchville-Chili students scoped out desks, examined classrooms and climbed the rock wall as part of “Exploring Fairbanks Road School: A New Learning Adventure” held June 14. The event, that filled the halls of FRS with excitement for the 2012-13 school year, was for students who will be attending FRS as part of the district’s enrollment equalization efforts.

Before entering the school, students were given a packet that included photos and information about all the places they could visit and tour during the adventure. The goal was to have students go to each destination and retrieve a sticker for their booklet while getting to know FRS rooms, teachers and staff.

Upon entering, students, family members and parents were greeted by FRS Principal Todd Yunker. From there, the exploration took whichever path the students and their parents desired. Stops included the main office, the nurse’s office, classrooms at each grade level, the cafeteria, the gymnasium, the music room and the library.
