REACH Students Learn Outside the Classroom

OCM BOCES REACH students from the Lee G. Peters Career Training Center in Liverpool are taking part in several unique field trips this year. One such trip was to Syracuse’s University Hospital for the “Let’s Not Meet By Accident” program. Through the program, OCM BOCES students toured the hospital’s trauma center, and visited the center’s helicopter pad (pictured.) While at the hospital, the students learned about living a healthy lifestyle and heard about professions in the medical field.
