A podium finish at a once-in-a-century event— our FFA students represented TST BOCES Career and Tech with pride at the 100th New York FFA Convention earlier this month! 🏆 Over the course of three days, 20 of our Animal Science students participated in hands-on workshops, leadership meetings, animal handling and showmanship trainings, and even gave back through service projects like assembling doggie goodie bags for local animal shelters. 🐾 Among the standout moments was the Veterinary Science Career Development Event, where 60 teams competed statewide. TST was represented by two teams—and one earned a spot on the podium! 👏 🥉 Congrats to Nicole Morrow, Ryan Rose, Evan Jackson, and Hannah Mason for placing third overall! To place among the top in the state during FFA’s 100th anniversary made this experience all the more memorable. Here’s to the next century of leadership and learning! 🌾💙 #FFA #NYSFFA #NYSFFA100 #ConnectingMindsInspiringGrowth #BOCESProud

🧠💬 May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month! 🗣️🔊 This month, we’re celebrating the many ways people communicate and the important role speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play in supporting our programs. Recently, our SLPs joined a few cooking classes to explore and model different ways people communicate. From AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) devices to eye gaze technology and switches, students had the opportunity to learn about the tools and techniques that help individuals share their thoughts, needs, and ideas. 📸 These images celebrate inclusive, communication-rich learning environments. They do not indicate or imply participation in speech-language services. #SLHMonth #TSTProud #SLPsInAction #CommunicationForAll #AACAwareness #ConnectingMindsInspiringGrowth #BOCESProud
