Ten Career and Technical Education (CTE) students at Monroe 2 BOCES have been awarded scholarships!
On Friday, June 5, WEMOCO teachers and staff visited the home of each scholarship award winner during the Scholarship Parade. A line of cars decked out with messages of “congratulations,” made their way through each neighborhood, honking in recognition of the award winner.
Families were waiting outside, eager to celebrate their student’s accomplishment. Neighbors also made their way outside and upon seeing what the parade was for, were quick to offer up their own congratulations for the students.
Each student was presented a “Scholarship Award Winner” lawn sign (funded by the teachers union) before being handed their scholarship certificate and check. Students were also able to get a picture taken with their teacher and their lawn sign.
