Stormy skies didn't prevent the annual art show at Fox Meadow School on Saturday June 6th. Now in its twelfth year, the event showcases the artwork of Fox Meadow students from grades K-5. The school's first floor hallways were transformed into an art museum where several works by each child were displayed: From clay pinch pots, to stenciling, metal work, animal masks, bird sculptures and more. Students played music and sang during the art show, fourth graders held a bake and water sale to raise money for next year's fifth grade activities.
Friends of the Scarsdale Parks together with the Mayor dedicated three heritage sugar maple trees that were planted in front of the school. According to Friends of the Scarsdale Parks (FOSP) co-President Madelaine Eppenstein, this is the third year of the FOSP's Heritage Tree Program, which includes the iconic White Oak at the Woman's Club and three giant Dawn Redwoods at the Scarsdale Library Pond. She thanked the Board of Architectural Review, Fox Meadow Principal Duncan Wilson, Fox Meadow art teacher Sara Faranda and Mayor Jon Mark, who read the official proclamation.
