Two Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School students – junior Paris DeFreitas and sophomore Edison Peguero Rosario – were named student facilitators for the Long Island Regional virtual student forum sponsored by BOCES. The students – who both attended the first forum in November – were chosen by their social studies teacher to act as student facilitators for the March session. They participated in an online training session and during the forum, the students moderated group discussions, took notes and ensured participants were following proper etiquette.
