Krystal, Edrielys, Damiaon, and Ava came back down to the computer lab to help Mrs. Zappie teach other other class of first graders. Mrs. Zappie is so thankful - she couldn't have done it without them!

As we step into the new year, the Brocton Central School District would like to take a moment to highlight a crucial issue that deserves our attention and action: January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. This observance serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight against human trafficking, a crime that affects millions of individuals around the world, including in our own communities.
Human trafficking is not merely a distant problem; it is a stark reality that can manifest in various forms, including sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and exploitation of vulnerable populations.
Throughout this month, the Brocton Central School District urges the community to join the effort to raise awareness about this pressing issue. Simple actions, such as sharing information on social media, attending local awareness events, or volunteering with organizations working to combat trafficking, can make a significant difference.
