OCM BOCES students celebrate Earth Day at Rosamond Gifford Zoo Party for the Planet


On Saturday, April 18, two OCM BOCES students from Innovation Tech (Diane Wayman) and the Career Academy (Samantha Lamica) helped celebrate and bring awareness to Earth Day by attending and presenting information at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo's Party for the Planet.

The event, which was presented by Friends of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in partnership with GreeningUSA's Sustainability Academy, was designed to educate attendees with a variety of informative presentations and displays.

The BOCES students created their own educational display with self-made materials about monarch butterflies. Diane and Samantha produced a striking display about the insect, whose population is decreasing, and handed out "save the monarch" stickers and milkweed seed packets. The students also made their own monarch butterfly cookies.

Attendees praised the young ladies' display for its professional and attractive appearance and complimented their educational handouts.
