Curriculum night at the BOCES 2 Career and Technical Education Center WEMOCO is an opportunity for parents or guardians to meet their child’s teacher, to learn about the course curriculum, and tour classrooms.
Parents of students in teacher Jerry Wilcox’s Heavy Duty Equipment class were able to try their hand at using the backhoe loader’s to pick up a cone. This exercise is a skills test of a student’s precision with the backhoe stick. The students showed off their skills by providing a hands-on lesson to their parents. WEMOCO student Zachary Mulvhill said his mom, Kathy, was a little bit better at picking up the cone than dad, Raymond. “This is a great program,” said his mom. “He’s learning a trade, and it is hands-on.” Zachary hopes to pursue heavy duty equipment as a career in the U.S. Military.
