For the second year, ECO Fuerch, Genesee County Deputy/Pembroke School Resource Officer Reeves, Genesee County 911 Dispatcher Fix, and science teacher Tim Stringham administered the New York State hunter safety course to Mr. Stringham’s science class at Pembroke High School in the village of Corfu.
Over two weeks, 10 students successfully completed the course and are now able to purchase hunting licenses.
This coordinated effort began last year when Mr. Stringham, who was in the process of becoming a certified hunter education instructor at the time, approached Deputy Reeves about providing the course at the school. The partnership proved invaluable in providing the hunter safety course to students who may otherwise not have been able to attend.
