My most favorite Chautauqua photos!

5243_Back_to_School_011607

Shot the day we came back to school on January 16, 2007 after the heavy winter storm and Island-wide power outages of December-January 2006-2007. There was 4-6 inches of snow everywhere! But we were back to school!

Due to changing political circumstances at Chautauqua Elementary school in the winter-spring of 2009, I didn't feel comfortable taking photographs of either Field Day 2009, or the Fifth Grade Graduation 2009, as I have in the past...

After considerable thought and discussion with staff at Chautauqua, I've decided that it would be appropriate to put up the photos I've taken at Chautauqua during the past three school years, with the following conditions:

  • There will never be any personally-identifiable information (i.e. no names) of any of the children
  • There only be mimimal links leading into these pages from anywhere else on my web site
  • I will use the "robots exclusion guidelines" to prevent any of the pages and/or photos from being found and indexed by web search engine robots
  • Because of that, the only real way to know about any of these photos will simply be by knowing that they're here - and this can be spread within the community to friends and relatives by word-of-mouth, phone, or email...
