BOCES Weekly Bulletin - Dec. 20
Scott Fitch - rescheduled presentation on February 3:
Scott Fitch is simply a great guy who has a powerful message. He's also our Josten's rep. He likes the Falcons so much, he had himself reassigned to our school. Scott gave a wonderful presentation for our athletes last year. I was so impressed, I asked him to communicate with all of our students.
Scott will do two presentations - MS and HS. I will use the same type of schedule as our last presenter with a possible variation. I'll post that later.
Here is Scott's bio.
