Scenes from this year’s Special Olympics Games at Samoset Middle School! What made this year extra special? The adapted toys created and donated by Michael LoPreto’s Electrical Trade students from #MillikenTech. Throughout the school year, these students worked hard to modify the toys to meet the needs of Samoset’s students – enhancing sensory features like sound and vibration, and simplifying the controls to make them more accessible and interactive. The highlight of the event was when the Electrical Trade students visited Samoset to assist the students in using the toys firsthand. #SpecialOlympics #BOCESFamily #TransformingLives (fb)

Changing electrical outlets and broken light switches are common responsibilities for facilities maintenance professionals and custodians. Ken Abel, Facilities Maintenance Teacher at #IslipCareerCenter, provides his students with plenty of hands-on practice to ensure they are proficient with these techniques. #EmploymentSkills #ICCthePlaceToBe (fb)
