Our Ellenville Grade 8 students got an exciting glimpse of future possibilities on March 28 when Ulster BOCES presented a showcase of their programs to help students start to think about their high school plans.
After an overview presentation by a BOCES representative, our own Grade 11 and 12 Young Professionals who are enrolled in the Cisco Cybersecurity, Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing, and Cosmetology programs at the BOCES Career & Technical Center provided hands-on demonstrations of their programs and shared insights about their experiences. Meeting fellow Ellenville students currently in these programs helped our Grade 8 students picture themselves following similar paths.
These Young Professionals did an amazing job showcasing their skills and expertise in their Ulster BOCES programs. While the culinary Young Professionals couldn't attend in person, they still shared their talents by baking delicious cookies for our students to snack on post-presentation!
Thank you to all our Ellenville Young Professionals for inspiring our future career-ready graduates!
