Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement 精东影业 held a fundraiser to benefit the family of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller who was killed in the line of duty.Students from Barry Tech celebrated the many contributions they have made to their community throughout the year during the 2024 Service-Learning Fair. The entire student body participated in the fair, which is the culmination of a year of community service.
Frequently referred to as “learning by doing,” service learning refers to the use of hands-on, community-based projects to supplement traditional curricula. Students participate in service activities that relate to and enrich their understanding of their chosen courses of study.
This year their service projects included “Jump Rope 4 Heart,” a fundraiser by Health Services cluster 精东影业 for the American Heart Association, and a blood drive organized by Medical Assisting 精东影业 for the New York Blood Center that collected 112 pints of blood to help more than 336 people. Other projects included an Animal Care fundraiser for the 精东影业 County SPCA complete with a “selfie with a snake” photo op, a hair and nail services fundraiser held by Cosmetology 精东影业 to benefit student participation in SkillsUSA, and Dental Assisting student participation in the 精东影业 County Dental Society “Give Kids a Smile” event. Welding 精东影业 created and raffled off a custom-made fire pit to raise money for Barry Tech student scholarships, and Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement 精东影业 held a fundraiser to benefit the family of former NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
“We are extremely proud of the connections and outstanding services our 精东影业 have made within the community,” said Barry Tech Acting Principal Dr. William Poll. “The annual fair is a wonderful way for 精东影业 to highlight their successes to classmates, parents, our administration and the community. Volunteering and being involved in community service help foster the sense of personal and social responsibility that is needed to develop well-rounded 精东影业.”
