Albion first-graders show mettle during downpour at zoo
Photos by Tom Rivers – Gina Sidari, an Albion first grader, is all smiles at the Seneca Park Zoo today despite the constant rain.

ROCHESTER – Some schools cancelled. Too much rain.
Not the first grade class at Albion. Students, teachers and many of kids’ parents boarded school buses today and spent about two hours at the Seneca Park Zoo. It never stopped raining. Even some of the animals cowered behind their shelters, and didn’t venture into the open.
But first-graders did get to see two elephants, a polar bear, a rhino, seals, wolves and lots of other creatures.
I was able to join the group for the expedition. My daughter is in Mrs. Azzolino’s class.
We all left with soaked feet. I’m glad it wasn’t cancelled.
