New York State Board of Regents member Roger Catania joined St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES superintendents, administrators, and Board of Education members at Northwest Tech Center in Ogdensburg for an evening of discussion focused on the future of public education in New York State.
Hosted by the St. Lawrence-Lewis Counties School Boards Association, the event featured an informative presentation and dialogue with Regent Catania, including conversations about NY Inspires and other initiatives impacting schools across the North Country. The gathering provided an opportunity for educational leaders to share perspectives, discuss challenges and opportunities, and celebrate the strength of public education in our region.
Guests also enjoyed an exceptional dinner prepared and served by the talented culinary students and staff of Northwest Tech Center. Special thanks to Chef Jon LeClair and teaching assistants Stacey Carpenter and Lynda Carr for guiding students through the preparation of a delicious menu featuring fresh seasonal ingredients and a variety of expertly prepared dishes.
The student culinary team included Janessa Martin, Ian Noreau, Olivia Burke, Alexia Carlin and Evey Armstrong of Lisbon Central School District, Carlett Ritchie of Morristown Central School District, and Mack Durant of Heuvelton Central School District.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening a success and to the Northwest Tech culinary program for showcasing the skills, professionalism, and hospitality of its students.
