Culture is built in the moments that bring people together - and Bush Campus, Building 11 delivered. 🎄
At GST BOCES, our values of service, leadership, integrity, and collaboration shine through the everyday connections that strengthen our teams. Staff in Building 11, including Central Administration and Management Services, embraced the season by hosting a holiday decorating contest that sparked creativity, teamwork, and plenty of smiles.
More than decorations, the contest reflected a shared commitment to creating a welcoming, positive environment - one where collaboration is celebrated and culture is intentionally cultivated. It was a reminder that leadership shows up in many forms, including the joy and energy we bring to our workplace and to one another.
This is what GST BOCES culture looks like: engaged teams, shared traditions, and people who take pride in building community - together. ✨ #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESculture

This season is when our culture truly shines ✨
At GST BOCES, our values aren’t just words - they’re actions. During our annual holiday breakfast, service, leadership, integrity, and collaboration came to life as our supervisors, administrators, and managers rolled up their sleeves to provide, prepare, and serve breakfast for employees across the organization.
Held over three mornings - one at each campus - this cherished tradition reflected who we are as an organization: leaders who serve, teams who support one another, and a community built on respect and connection.
Moments like these remind us that culture is created through the everyday actions that bring us together. We’re proud of the way our values show up - especially during the holiday season. 💙

The Wildwood SkillsUSA Chapter understands the true power of generosity. The holiday season can be challenging for families facing difficulties.

Additionally, toys were donated throughout the campus. #PROUDTOBEGST #CommunityOrientedatGSTBOCES
Career Development Council partnered with the Corning Museum of Glass in November to host CMoG Career Day for almost 100 local students. The day gave students a behind-the-scenes look at careers in everything from art conservation and marketing to graphic design and security management. They got to chat in small groups with career experts, watch a hot glass demo, and enjoy a guided museum tour—making it a fun and inspiring learning experience for everyone! Our thanks to everyone at CMoG for helping make this event so special!
Big shoutout to our Wildwood Campus teams for coming together in a powerful way! 🎁✨

📚 Over 35 librarians from GST and TST came together this week for a powerful day of learning, collaboration, and professional growth!
As a statewide workshop centered on the ALA Core Values of Librarianship, GST proudly served as a host site—bringing educators together to strengthen the future of library programming across our region.
One speaker captured the heart of the day perfectly: “The library is the biggest classroom in our schools.”
That spirit fueled conversations, idea-sharing, and reflection as librarians explored new ways to elevate services for students and staff.
A great day of connection. A strong step forward for our libraries. And an exciting glimpse into what’s possible when we learn together. 📖✨ #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCEScollaboration #GSTBOCESservice

New Visions Engineering had another amazing guest speaker today! Students were challenged to research, design, and build a paper airplane in just eight minutes—after doing quick research to figure out the best approach. Once their designs were ready, they put them to the test in the hallway, discovering firsthand how shape, structure, and intention all impact speed and performance.
Emily, Product Design Engineer at Siemens Energy also shared her college journey, career path, and the experiences that shaped her success. She asked students about their future goals and majors, and they had great questions of their own.
We were even invited to tour Siemens Energy in January—another exciting opportunity for our future engineers!
A huge thank-you to Emily Miller for spending time with New Visions Engineering students. You’ve inspired them more than you know! ✨✈️🚀
