Simon Appleby placed 3rd in the 3-Man Welding Event at Skills USA! Simon & his team will be competing at the state finals in Syracuse later this May. Skills USA is an annual event that showcases the work of our career & tech education students at TST BOCES. Congrats to Simon!

Last week, a select group of eight South Seneca students attended the Cornell Splash Program, and had a chance to explore various topics through taking classes with Cornell student leaders.   The Cornell Splash Event is an amazing Saturday, offered once a year on Cornell’s campus. Students in grades 7 to 12 can learn about any subject. Splash is a very open style of learning, designed to let students explore anything that they are passionate about. If you’re passionate about math and science, they have courses on gravitational waves and complex analysis. Perhaps, you’re more interested in the humanities and want to learn about ancient history and creative writing. Maybe, you’re just looking for things that aren’t normally taught, like an Introduction to Immunology explained in terms of Starcraft or four-player chess (known as bughouse). Cornell students become the teachers for the day and choose their own class topics and content, allowing them to teach on what they’re most passionate about!  Our South Seneca participants were able to sign up for classes in things they were interested in learning more about. The idea that we all can “Teach Anything and Learn Anything” promotes curiosity and a positive growth mindset! Our South Seneca Students had a great time being curious and sparking interests at Cornell!

There's been a lot of hard work and hard-earned recognition around here. Here's the most recent high school honor roll, Grade 5 Honor Roll, and the Falcon Four awards in our district! #foreverfalcons

Let's hear it for these amazing Falcons! Well deserved! #foreverfalcons

It has been busy in the woodshop recently. Pictured is a Residential Building and Maintenance student Vyvynn Powell learning to solder copper from guest instructor Tom Hayward from UA Local 81 Plumbers, Steamfitters & HVAC/R. Coleton Dresser, who is in CNC, showing off custom signage he made for his dads business. Here's a woodworking student, Josiah Shirk, showing off his bookcase made from repurposed plywood.

There has been a lot of excitement and busy days in Garden Lit and Intro to Agriculture! The month of March brought the hatching of chicks and collecting and processing of maple sap into syrup! Students learned about incubation and were able to enjoy the chicks for about a week in the classroom. Students also learned how to tap a maple tree, collect sap, and boil it down to get maple syrup. They also made pancakes from scratch and enjoyed their maple syrup!
