The talented students of ripley

ERIC SHEA | Staff Photographer The CLSC Class of 2010’s Ripley Young Readers project sponsors group visits by students from the Ripley, N.Y., school district. The visit to the grounds allows students to join in the CLSC Young Readers program and explore Chautauqua. For their third and final visit this summer, Amber McKenery, 14, Alyssa Maas, 13, and Analise Mellors, 12, participated in book discussions and visited Strohl Art Center’s “Anonymous: The Contemporary Portrait” exhibit. Maryanne Datesman, CLSC Class of 2010 president, said this collaboration fits in the class’s motto — “Think Higher. Feel Deeper. Be the Change.”
