The Oswego High School boys' varsity lacrosse team instituted a program a few years ago which was once again recently celebrated.
Sports and academics go hand-in-hand and adults make positive impressions on a young student. The varsity lacrosse players have a special "Teacher Appreciation Night" to recognize the impact that individual faculty members had on each and every one of them.
Teachers, both elementary and secondary, were recognized at halftime of the recent Oswego-Carthage game as each one was given as small memento of the event.
Among the teachers that were recognized were Emily Smuckler by Shane Bowman; Elden Phaneuf by Jon Buske; Taishana Jackson by Kyle Clark; Patricia Shene by Zach Crisafulli; Tricia Caroccio by Adam Doviak; Karin Button by Garrett Dunsmoor; Jamie Sykut by Fred Ferguson; Heidi Whitney by Brandon Foley; Lisa Roman by Leo Gorton; Carol Naron by Tylar Hogan; Lisa Schultzkie by Chase Izyk; Sharon Bonacorsi by Hunter Izyk; Ben Hall by Cooper Levine; Shawn Caroccio by Trey Love; Scott Bandla by Ryan Martin; Elizabeth Crannell by Jake Rodriguez; Robert Talamo by Joe Ruggio; Susan Larca by Mitch Schrader; Matthew Bock by Brandon Tracz; Catherine Kelly by Matt Wise; and Michelle Wink by Kaleb Astoria.
