What do teachers really do on superintendent’s conference days? This is a question parents may ask as their students enjoy a day off. On October 4 the WSWHE BOCES School Support Services Division hosted the True North Professional Development Day at the North Warren Central School District.

Approximately 600 11th and 12th grade students from the Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES (WSWHE BOCES) Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, along with Exceptional Learners Division (ELD) students and staff, participated in Operation Guard X on Oct. 3. The event, sponsored by the New York Army National Guard (NYARNG) and held at the F. Donald Myers Education Center offered students an engaging opportunity to explore various careers in service-related industries, including interactions with professionals from law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services.

Normally the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery in Schuylerville is a quiet and peaceful place. On September 18 it was a buzz of activity as Environmental Conservation & Forestry Instructor Dennis Flynn and 16 of his students joined professional arborists from around the state and Vermont for the 10th Annual Saluting Branches Day of Service, one of 100 sites in the national event.

Children love big trucks and candy. Students in the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Early Childhood Education program and SkillsUSA at WSWHE BOCES are putting a spin on Halloween. Your average trunk-or-treat event includes decking out cars in the holiday spirit. On October 26, 2024 from 2pm to 5pm, trucks from local businesses will roll down to the F. Donald Myers Education Center at 15 Henning Rd in Saratoga Springs, gather in the parking lot, and give out treats to the public. So dress up in your best Halloween costume and enjoy the afternoon. Additional food items will be available for purchase.
