Exciting news for our campus and for our students!

PNW BOCES will soon be off the electrical grid, saving money and demonstrating environmental stewardship! More than 6,400 solar panels have been installed on the edges of the main Yorktown campus under the direction of our O&M team. John Madden’s Urban Forestry students are helping facilitate the project by building the emergency access path from the Tech South building to the solar fields. The array is expected to be up and running in the fall. #pnwboces #wecandothat

Walter Panas High School alum Chelsea Cintron is the executive sous chef at Trump National Golf Club, Westchester. She said the Culinary program at PNW BOCES enabled her to reach her career goals. "BOCES helped me to fall in love with the craft and make a career of it." #pnwboces #wecandothat

Proud to be part of these amazing teams of Culinary students at today's PNW BOCES event at Tilly Foster!

[PNW BOCES @pnwboces]

Things heated up at Tilly Foster Farm on June 3, when Maria Rosselli’s PNW BOCES Culinary students hosted a chili cook-off! Four teams—Dr. Chili Peppers, Hot Spice, Pepper Squad, and Ring of Fire, each led by a BOCES administrator —cooked their hearts out and produced incredible beef, chicken, veggie, and pork renditions, along with fire corn bread. Judges were hard pressed to pick a winner among such savory samplings. “I am so proud of my students who worked for weeks on perfecting these recipes and were so excited to compete,” said Rosselli. Animal Care teacher Cat Ludwiczak led a culinary and animal-facts trivia quiz after the cook-off. #pnwboces #wecandothat

Singing, dancing, and drawing are just a few of the feats shown off at the Walden School’s annual Talent Show. Students performed alone, in pairs and in class groups in acts that included Broadway hits, classic rock and cartoon heroes. There were standing ovations all around! #pnwboces #wecandothat

Bubbles and laughter filled the air outside the Pines Bridge School, where students were treated to a visit from the Bubble Bus. The sun was shining as big, vibrant bubbles danced around students and floated into the sky. Students danced to lively tunes and tried to grab each bubble as it drifted away. #pnwboces #wecandothat

So proud of our students and grateful for our community partners!

Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES’ component board members and superintendents got a taste of the organization’s broad range of incredible programs at the Component Board Member Orientation on May 13 on the Yorktown campus. Both alums and current students raved about their experiences in PNW BOCES programs. Photography student Sophia Jones took visitors’ head shots, and Fox Meadow student artist Jordyn Frias demonstrated his painting technique, giving away more than a dozen of his works. #pnwboces #wecandothat

A tasty tradition continues at PNW BOCES. Graduating Culinary students were treated to the annual senior luncheon on Wednesday, May 7. They enjoyed a sumptuous meal and a dessert of strawberry Tiramisu prepared by first year Culinary students. Herbs used in the seniors’ canape projects were handed out as favors, along with recipes they used. Each senior also brought along an honored guest from their home school. #pnwboces #wecandothat @pnwbocestech

Small frogs and fish have a new home on the PNW BOCES campus thanks to Intro to Construction students. Brian Duffy’s students measured and dug a hole, ensured it was level and added a tarp and liner, stones, and plants. Then the students introduced tadpoles and small fish to the water.

Transitions students at PNW BOCES created beaded lanyards for SchoolAI, an artificial intelligence platform for teachers, to give out to educators at conferences. Trevor Goertzen, from SchoolAI, dropped by today to show his appreciation with a pizza party for the students. “Teachers have told us how much they love the lanyards because they are all unique and come with personal messages from the students,” said Goertzen, who is from Kansas City. #pnwboces #wecandothat
