Farmingdale High School's Technology program was prominently featured at the monthly Anthony Ryan Head Start Fund meeting on Wednesday, October 8. Technology teachers Corey Sterler and Matt Hobbes attended the event to network and solidify relationships with employers, CEOs, and company representatives connected to various industry jobs.

The meeting also served as a moment of significant recognition for several students. Three individuals, sophomore Anthony Badler ('27), junior Shawn Ramdial ('26), and Alumnus Tyler Lipski ('24) were honored with a Certificate of Distinction for their exceptional dedication and determination to succeed. Tyler Lipski received an additional recognition, being awarded a new set of Dewalt tools and a gift certificate to Brinkman's Ace Hardware to help him build his professional toolkit.

Rounding out the attendees were students Joseph Mei ('26), Irving Espinal ('24), and Diego Sanchez ('24), who spent the evening actively networking and exploring potential career paths with participating employers.

The importance of this early career engagement was highlighted by Ryan Burnett. A member of the Farmingdale School's CTE Industry Advisory Council and CEO of multiple businesses, including the non-profit Look Who Made It, which coaches young adults in the skilled trades, Burnett offered high praise: "It is incredible to see so many students from Farmingdale here. It is a testament to the technology program for encouraging students to begin their employment search so early."

After reading The Story in the Cave in Geodes, Mrs. DeRuvo’s first graders at Woodward Parkway stepped back in time to explore the famous cave paintings of Lascaux, France. They discussed how early artists told stories through their drawings deep inside the caves. Then, students got to create their own “cave paintings” by working under their desks — just like real caves! Using craft paper and earth-tone crayons, they filled their “cave walls” with stags, bulls, and bison.
