High school students had the opportunity to attend the How It’s Made: Manufacturing and Development Expo (MADE) hosted by TC3 earlier this month. It was a unique opportunity for high school students to engage with local & regional manufacturers through hands-on learning, demonstrations and activities. At the event students were exposed to over 20 different local businesses, and agencies who were there to educate & showcase the different opportunities and jobs there are in manufacturing.
We kicked off Red Ribbon week at the MS/HS in a big way today! Our students enjoyed a special visit from some friendly goats, Liam and Bennett, inspiring everyone to be the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) by making healthy, positive choices! Huge thanks to the Seneca County Substance Abuse Coalition and the Council of Alcohol & Addictions of the Finger Lakes for helping us bring this message to life. Together, we’re building a community where our students are empowered to be their best selves!
This year's MS/HS painted pumpkin contest theme is Tim Burton’s books and movies!
