BOE visits Smith School! 🏫📓

Last week, we proudly hosted BOE members AnnMarie Streeter of Dryden, Linda Pasto of Lansing, and Helen Arco of Trumansburg for a tour of our Exceptional Education programs!

Superintendent Lily Talcott, Director Jenn Gondek, and Executive Principal Belinda Adams guided them through classrooms, introduced them to students, and shared lunch together in our Exceptional Eats Cafeteria.

They also attended Principal Adams’ High Five recognition ceremony, where students are celebrated for being outstanding members of our school community. Each student signs a poster displayed in the cafeteria, receives a prize, and of course, a High Five.

Way to go, students. Our BOE members were so impressed. 🙌

TST's Assistant Superintendent Cindy Walter connected with our educational partners, including OCM BOCES Superintendent Matt Cook, Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation BOCES Superintendent Jeremy Belfield, Tompkins Cortland Community College President Dr. Amy Kremenek, and Cornell NanoScale Facility Workforce Development Program Manager Thomas Pennell.
