'Anything but Hair' assignment sparks artistic creations | | |
Students in Dawn Iozzo's cosmetology class recently demonstrated the principles of hair design on mannequins in a challenge that had only one rule — to use anything BUT hair. The exceptional creativity that emerged from this assignment also sparked a competitive spirit. Students and staff in our Adult Education campus in Liverpool voted on which mannequin design they thought was the best. Here's a look at some of their creations. | |

Thank you to everyone who supported the food truck - and our scholarship fund
Students and staff at OCM BOCES turned out in force on Friday, Sept. 29, for the Callé Tropical Food Truck that visited the Adult Education campus.
In a two-hour span, sales at the food truck generated about $100 for the Jack Gallaher "Helping Hand" Scholarship Fund — 10% of the food truck's proceeds. The fund has been providing scholarships and emergency funds for Adult Education students for the past 25 years. Thank you to Callé Tropical and everyone who visited the food truck! More food trucks will be scheduled throughout the year.
