Frontier Central School District
Big Tree Elementary School
- ... that in 2006, Big Tree Elementary (pictured) school principal Joanne C. Saniewski read a book from a hot-air balloon in Hamburg, New York, to honor her students reading for over a collective 2.5 million minutes? Source: Big Tree Elementary Students surpassed goal and read over 2.5 million minutes
- ALT1:... that 1,450 Frontier Middle School students in Hamburg, New York, took a large group photo in the shape of a red, white and blue eagle in 2008? Source: Frontier school photo lesson in group dynamics
- ALT2:... that the Frontier Central School District in Hamburg, New York took its name after a local telephone exchange in 1951 because a contest failed to produce a sufficient one? A History of the Frontier School District: 3

- Comment: I would really only prefer the first hook, but if it isn't suitable I hope my others are. As it also turns out, it appears as though I created the article in 2007 based on the edits of that particular account.
5x expanded by Buffaboy (talk). Self-nominated at 01:00, 15 May 2021 (UTC).
- 5x expansion verified (2642 to 13363), barely enough but it qualifies. Expansion just completed, so no time problem either. Article is well written with multiple citations in most paragraphs, none without at least one. Appears to be within all policies.
- The hook facts are verified in the source and cited properly in the article. The hook is very long (200 characters). I think "school principal" can be shortened to "principal" and including the location makes it read a little clunky (although some might say the location is important and should be in the hook). I've tweaked it a little and reworded the end to flow better. ALT0a is now 171 characters.
:*ALT0a ... that in 2006, Big Tree Elementary (pictured) principal Joanne C. Saniewski read a book from a hot-air balloon to honor her students for collectively reading over 2.5 million minutes?
- QPQ done, so approving with ALT0a.

- Object to this hook. We don't name non notable staff in school articles per WP:WPSCH/AG. If it is too long, suggest removing the namecheck. Her name really has no relevance to understanding the bit.174.212.213.2 (talk) 23:08, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if you saw, but the hook was shortened and is now appropriate for promotion. The policy you cited doesn't apply here, and given the fact that this administrator was cited in the news article, that's enough as is. Of course if it's still unreasonable I have three other potential hooks. Buffaboy talk 00:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, Buffaboy, but my objection is to the use of a virtually unknown outside the immediate area individual on the front page of one of the most widely read websites in the world. There is a huge difference in that and being written up in a regional paper. Seems to be not in the spirit of WP:PRIVACY, if not actually in violation of it. Many, if not most, are uncomfortable with public recognition on that scale and she's certainly not WP:FAMOUS. 174.212.227.200 (talk) 08:38, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
