Students from the DCMO BOCES Cosmetology program at Pole Campus were at the Chenango County Fair on Thursday for Senior Day, volunteering their time and skills to pamper senior citizens with nail services. The seniors also voted on hairstyles that the students had created earlier, with the winners announced by instructor Lisa Chabot: 1st Place went to Katie Kenyon; 2nd to Zaylee Thomas; 3rd to Sarah Kwasnik and Most Creative to Mattie Harrington. It was a great experience for both the seniors and the students!
Thanks to students from the Computer Technology and Welding programs at the Alan D. Pole Campus in Norwich, DCMO BOCES was well-represented at last week’s Chenango County Fair! Led by instructor Ann French, the students designed and built a display promoting the different Career & Technology programs offered by DCMO BOCES with assistance from Jaan Aarismaa's Welding class. The display featured light-up hot air “balloons,” and a synchronized light and music display. The students took their cue from this year’s CTE promotion, “Start Here, Go Anywhere,” and built the display elements before leaving for summer break. Thank-you to our students and instructors for sharing their skills and talents with the community!
