Our P-TECH Health 10 students have been brainstorming ways they might reach out to classmates and peers throughout the region who are struggling with issues that far-to-often lead to thoughts of suicide. To that end, they formed teams to create public service videos focusing on where and how young people can get help. Part of that project included a recent presentation to members of the Broome County Suicide Awareness for Families and Educators (BC SAFE).Click on the headline to view photos of the presentation.

The P-TECH students were challenged to participate in a “Thanks-for-giving” project. They were split into four groups with four focuses: giving back to BT-BOCES, their home district, P-TECH and the community. The students in the group focused on community created what were called “warmth for winter packages” for the needy. The packages entailed a grocery bag containing a pair of gloves, a hat, socks, and something to eat. All were donated under the tag #winterwarmth. This was a great opportunity for the students to show their support for the community and help improve the lives of those who are less fortunate.
