Last Friday, RAS Student Government brought the homecoming spirit to TST, transforming the grassy area of our bus loop into a full-fledged football field complete with endzones and hand-knit yellow penalty flags! 🏈💛 RAS students left it all on the field, with some playing, some cheering, and others simply soaking up the sunshine and school spirit. A huge shoutout to Paula and Whelpley for keeping the game fair and fun. The officiating was top-notch! 👏 And of course, we couldn’t have done it without our amazing coaches, Pat and Vick. 🙌 #TSTBOCES #RAS #Homecoming #FlagFootball #ConnectingMindsInspiringGrowth #BOCESPride
