Parents in Albion, Orleans County and Lockport, Niagara County could see and talk to each other using video conferencing technology about a very important topic last weekend.

Damaris Hernandez is an 18 year old Out of School Youth student originally from Nacagdoches County, Texas. Damaris, her two sisters, and her father lived in Texas for much of her life and traveled back and forth from Mexico.

In a culminating art project, the seventy-five students enrolled at the 2018 Brockport METS Summer School created a mural. The project evolved during the final week of Summer School, with each class in grades 1-8 contributing ideas; the older students started the drawings; and every student painting the 4’ x 8’ mural.
