BOCES Auto Students Honored

Here are some of the words OCM BOCES auto instructors used May 2 to describe eight graduating seniors who were honored for their outstanding achievement during the Snap-On Tools for Success awards program at the Thompson Road Campus: hard-working, positive, self-motived, proficient, patient, knowledgeable, collaborative.
 
One instructor, Erick Dodge, even alluded to “Jeopardy” sensation James Holzhauer in describing one of his students, Anthony Zhuravlev of Liverpool, who holds a vast and impressive knowledge of cars.
 
“If I have a question, his hand is up,” Dodge said.
 
Teachers selected students from each of four automotive program classrooms for their excellent skills in automotive technology, math and science skills, as well as their outstanding classroom participation, attendance and attitude. For their achievement, students received a certificate of excellence and a Snap-On Tools screwdriver worth more than $100.
