Monroe One BOCES

Graduation is getting closer! 🎓

Creekside's graduating students took a walk through the hallways in their caps and gowns today, greeted by applause, waves, and smiles from classmates and staff.

It was a special chance to celebrate their hard work and all they've accomplished during their time at Creekside.

Students and staff came together to celebrate individuality, inclusion, and community at Bird/Morgan's Pride Disco this afternoon. 🌈🪩

With tunes from DJ Mike, the dance floor stayed busy as everyone enjoyed an afternoon of dancing and fun.

That's a wrap on SkillsUSA nationals!

Congratulations to the 10 Eastern Monroe Career Center students who earned the opportunity to compete in Atlanta this week and gave each contest their all.

We also want to recognize the EMCC teachers and mentors who helped prepare students for competition and traveled alongside them throughout the SkillsUSA season. Their support played an important role in making this experience possible.

Congratulations to the winners of Creekside's Caring for Earth Day poster competition! 🌎

Ms. Hale's class earned the Best Message award, while Ms. Brown's class took home the Best Teamwork & Artistic award.

Great work to all of the students who shared their creativity and helped spread the message of caring for our planet.

The Creekside Nature Club spent their time together creating terrariums today!

A little soil, moss, rocks, plants, and mini figurines were all it took to create these magical habitats. 🍄

A welcome chance to bring the classroom outside.

Creekside Family and Consumer Sciences students spent time grilling and practicing outdoor dining skills during a sunny picnic on campus today. 🌭

Sunshine, games, and good times! ☀️

Today was the Multi-Occupational and FOCUS Picnic at the Foreman Center playground.

Students and staff from all M*F programs spent their session times enjoying food, playing games, drawing, singing karaoke, and spending time together.

A fun way to celebrate all they've accomplished this year.

These classrooms earned the top spots in Bird/Morgan's AAPI Door Decorating Contest. Their displays celebrated Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month through creativity, collaboration, and cultural pride.

Congratulations to all of the students who participated!
