☀️ Having some outdoor fun before school’s out! 🏫
Last week Smith School students got to enjoy a day of outdoor fun! Students enjoyed corn-hole, three-legged & potato sack races, along with hoops, laughter, kick-ball, and plenty of friendly competition! 🏃♂️😄
The day ended with an exciting costumed staff race! You’ll have to look through the photos to see who won.🏅
It was a great day of outdoor fun before the school year ends! ✨

🏅 One week ago today, our students were making memories, trying new events, and cheering each other on at the 10th Annual Dryden Games!
This incredible tradition brings students together from across our region for a day of friendship, encouragement, and fun. Judging by the smiles, it's safe to say everyone had a great time. 💙
We're so proud of our students and grateful to Dryden Central School District, the staff and volunteers, and all of the community partners who come together to make this special day possible each year. 💙💜❤️

🐛 Our students wrapped up a year of learning with some very wiggly visitors!
As part of a year-long partnership between TST BOCES and Cornell Cooperative Extension focused on food waste education and action, our friends from CCE recently stopped by Ms. Rink-Cortright's classroom to educate students about composting, recycling, and reducing food waste. With hands-on activities and plenty of earthworms, it was the perfect way to celebrate a successful year of environmental learning.
Throughout the year, CCE's Master Composters worked with several of our classrooms, bringing engaging environmental education directly to our students! Thank you to CCE for this amazing partnership, we're already looking forward to next year! 🌱

It was wonderful to see the amazing work done by our students and to be joined by their mentors and families. Thank you to everyone who supported our student’s work and came out to the Symposium!

What started as a weathered 1949 Farmall tractor became a year-long collaborative restoration project involving students from Auto Tech, Auto Body, Heavy Equipment, Welding, and Digital Media at TST BOCES Career and Tech!
The finished restoration was unveiled at last year’s TST BOCES Car Show before being returned to its owners.
Now, students are gearing up to host the 33rd Annual TST BOCES Car Show this Sunday, May 17 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at our main campus at 555 Warren Road in Ithaca! 🚗

Last week Ithaca's Fall Creek Elementary School 5th graders had the exciting experience of visiting our Career & Tech Education Construction Trades students to learn how to build bird houses!🐦
The students got to work collaborating as they drilled and hammered away until they had fully constructed bird houses that'll one day be called home by our feathered friends. It was such a fun shared activity that allowed hands-on learning to truly soar! 🔨🪽
Special thanks to TST Regional School Success, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Cornell Cooperative Extension for bringing everyone together and making this experience possible! 🙌
