Sweet Home Speaks

Students McKenna Flautau and Sofia Guadagna, along with Coach Jane Woloss, talk to us about how they got involved in sports, what athletics does for them, and what other girls can do to have the confidence to try something new.

Senior Julia talks about the opportunities and friendships that can come from getting out of your comfort zone and getting involved as a student.

This past summer, Sweet Home piloted a STEM Ambassador program, where volunteer students worked with our summer enrichment classes to complete STEM-related projects and help their peers. We talk to Tommy Hayter (8th), Bryce Ginestre (5th), and teacher Ajani Wall about this program.

This time around, we're chatting with Philip Bumbaco, recently graduated senior from Sweet Home's Ready Academy. Philip had a great time as a graphic design intern at local Buffalo company 26 Shirts. We sit down with his mentor Josh from 26 Shirts to hear all the details of Philip's time in the creative field.

Senior (now graduate) Hunter Tryloff talks to us about what it actually looks like, in practice, for students to have a voice on issues that matter to them. We chat about student government, his time as a student Board of Education member, and his future plans to take his civic education beyond high school.

Fourth graders Parker & Emma talk to us with their teacher, Miss Elif Erman, about Leadership Day at Willow Ridge Elementary School.
