Southern Westchester BOCES teachers are talented, dedicated and worthy of the spotlight. Learn about what inspires them, what makes their programs special and what they love about teaching. First up in our Teacher Spotlight is Shayna Meehan at Rye Lake Campus. For her, it's all about her students and colleagues.
The Rye Lake Lower Campus went beyond the usual holiday festivities by celebrating the unique cultural traditions represented among students and staff. The ‘Holidays Around the World’ event featured 10 elaborate displays created by classrooms across the campus.
A less strenuous but no less beneficial workshop than many offered at SWBOCES' Wellness Day offered staff the opportunity to seek relaxation and inner piece through sound meditation. Instructor Andrew Noethiger led participants through a 45-minute session, immersing them in the healing vibrations of gongs and various percussion instruments, creating a tapestry of sound and inviting them to let go of stress and reconnect in a soothing environment. Staff looking for more of a workout participated in the Personal Fitness: Circuit Training session in the fitness center on the same campus.
