Folks around BOCES will be very busy that Saturday, thanks to two big events taking place!
The public will feel the BOCES presence at two of the area's largest shopping malls on Sept. 10. At Colonie Center, Career & Tech's own Global Fashion Studies class will be holding a Back to School Fashion show, while a huge science and technology-themed expo, sponsored in part by BOCES, will be taking place at Crossgates Mall.
Back to School Fashion Show struts summer-long student effort
Be sure to stop by Colonie Center on Sept. 10 for the newly expanded 2011 Back to School Fashion Show, presented by Career & Tech's own Global Fashion Studies class. The show is the culmination of a summer's worth of work. Due to the large turnout at the students' casting call, the show's been divided into two segments, featuring fashions for children ages 5-10 beginning at noon, and fashions for those age 11 and older at 2:30 p.m. Full Story
