Congratulations to Abby F. on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award! Abby was nominated by Virginia Kukaj-Hartman & Amy Visca who noted the following, "Abby has also demonstrated incredible spirit and commitment through her participation in the Polar Plunge for the past two years. Her compassion and dedication to supporting the Special Olympics are clear in the enthusiasm she brings to the event each year. Abby doesn’t just take the plunge in the freezing water, she arrives fully dressed in fun costumes (this year, an inflatable polar bear), bringing energy and excitement that encourages others to get involved. Her willingness to support such an important cause while spreading positivity and school spirit makes her a wonderful example of leadership and kindness in our high school community. On top of all of this Abby is a stellar French student and an important member of the yearbook club. To know Abby is to adore her!" #WeAreHFL

Celebrating a milestone for student voice and leadership 👏

The ROC2Change Student Summit on Race marked its 10th anniversary this week at Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES, bringing together more than 350 students from 40 schools across the region.

What began in 2016 with just 180 students from 10 schools has grown into a powerful, student-led movement—now hosting two summits each year and continuing to inspire young people to become agents of change in their schools and communities.

This year’s theme, “Celebrate. Belong. Persist.”, reflects the heart of ROC2Change’s mission: empowering students across differences in race, geography, and life experiences while elevating youth voices.

From exploring topics like implicit bias and privilege to building unity and understanding, these summits continue to spark meaningful conversations—and lasting impact.

Congratulations to Virginia Steed on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award! Steed was nominated by student Griffin B. who noted the following, "I am nominating Ms. Ginny for the cougar pride award because, she has made the bus a safe, fun, and welcoming place to be, she lightens everyone's day, and makes waking up at the crack of dawn worth it. I am in seventh grade currently, but I still remember my first day of middle school. like many of my peers I was anxious, curious, and excited. But when those bus doors opened and Ms. Ginny greeted me with her kind gentle smile and told me, "Welcome Griffin, I'm your bus driver Ms. Ginny, and I'll be driving you to and from school." though those words are standard, it was the way she made the first thing you see on the first day of middle school warm, welcoming, and joyful. and that is what she does for all of her riders. If it wasn't for her kindness and her gentle soul I would not be able to say that the bus is just a vehicle, Because it is not just a vehicle it is a place where you are welcomed, and you have a feeling everything is going to be okay. And me and my other peers owe it all to Ms. Ginny. But it also is not just the atmosphere she creates, it is the conversations you can have with her, and also the laughs you can share. And I feel proud that I can say I couldn't ask for a better bus driver." #WeAreHFL
