During our Superintendent's Conference Day on Thursday, March 12, 2026, three Chenango Forks High School students had an opportunity to put their leadership skills to use as they led workshops for our educators.
Jillian Howell led a spoon jewelry workshop, where she taught how to transform vintage and modern flatware into unique, wearable jewelry. Griffin Miller facilitated a hands-on technology session for teachers to become proficient in Canva, a web-based design platform where teacher can design and create presentations and print material for their classrooms. Lastly, Anna Nottingham led a workshop where she was able to use her cookie decorating talents to guide the participants through learning essential royal icing decorating techniques.
It was great to see our students step into leadership roles and share their talents through these workshops.
