Garden classroom will serve as a vocational learning station for students
Greenhouse unveiled on Rye Lake Lower Campus
A new greenhouse erected over the summer and unveiled Oct. 10 just outside the Decagon Building on Southern Westchester BOCES' Rye Lake Lower Campus, will serve as a year-round vocational opportunity for students in the AIIM program.
Principal Julia Dolan, joined by Special Education PTA Vice President Donna Perazzo and David, one of th students active in the campus's gardening program, cut a bright orange ribbon across the greenhouse doors using, fittingly, a pair of garden shears.
“We are thrilled to finally be opening this greenhouse,” Principal Julia Dolan said. “It’s been a long time coming. About two years ago we opened our garden, which has been really phenomenal for the students and for the staff.”
