The GST BOCES Coopers Campus Building Construction class raised the bar on what service learning can look like — collecting 900 cans for the Pantry of Angels in Lindley!
Their teamwork, generosity, and community spirit are building far more than structures… they’re building impact. 🛠️✨

New Visions Engineering Students Are Back at It Again! 🚀
Our students had an incredible day exploring the RIT campus, and the experience was nothing short of amazing!
We kicked things off with a mini tour of the SHED with Dean Edwards before heading over to the Toyota Lab (Industrial Engineering). Sophia from RIT challenged the students to assemble skateboard wheels in under 7 minutes. They met the time—but not the requirements. When Sophia asked what would help them improve, the students said, “clear directions and more tools.”
Round two? Each group crushed the challenge in under 3 minutes with the added resources! 🙌 And by round three—though the task became even more demanding—the students pushed through and were successful once again. 💪
After a delicious lunch, Dr. Mohseni gave us a fascinating talk on semiconductors and microelectronics. We even toured the Clean Room, where students were tasked with breaking silicon wafers—some students had it easy, while others were given a more difficult challenge and everyone rose to the challenge and succeeded!
What an amazing day for our New Visions Engineering students! 🔧✨
A huge thank you to the RIT faculty and staff for their incredible hospitality—we truly appreciated the experience. Another big shoutout to Mr. Gauss for driving us to RIT and helping make this trip possible!

It’s been an exciting few weeks in New Visions Engineering!
From company rotations to field trips at Corning Inc.’s Sullivan Park, to partnering with CCS Robotics and volunteering at the STEAMFest Maker Faire in Rochester—we’ve been busy exploring the world of engineering. Students have learned about fiber optics, AI, Gorilla Glass, and what today’s engineering companies are working on. Most importantly, they’ve been able to show younger students just how fun and inspiring science and engineering can be!

New Visions Human Services & Education at Wildwood is kicking off a deep dive into Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson — a fresh look at why change happens, how we respond, and what it means for our growth.
And what better way to start a conversation about “cheese” than with… a cheese tasting? 🧀✨
As students explore themes of adaptability, fear, and personal reflection, this book is already sparking honest conversations that will shape both their personal and professional journeys.
Here’s to embracing change — one slice at a time! #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESculture

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes at GST BOCES Bush Campus 🇺🇸
Last week, our Phoenix Academy staff and students worked together with our Criminal Justice class for our Annual Veterans Parade — a heartfelt tradition dedicated to celebrating and thanking those who have served our country.
Students lined the campus sidewalks with flags, signs, and smiles as they cheered for local Veterans in the parade. Following the celebration, guests were treated to a special to-go meal as a small token of gratitude for their service and sacrifice.
We’re proud to see our students embracing respect, gratitude, and community spirit — values that make this event so meaningful each year.

The Bush Campus Dental Assisting students recently took their skills — and confidence — on the road! 🦷✨
Over three days, they visited Cohen Middle School to present the Dental Assisting program and share what it’s like to work in the profession with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. What made this experience extra special? The students took the lead from start to finish — they even reached out to Principal Foley themselves to organize the presentations! 👏
This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to practice leadership, communication, and professionalism while inspiring the next generation to explore the world of dental care. 💙 #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESleadership #PreparedatGSTBOCES

🚓🩺 Honoring Those Who Serve 🚒💙
Our Wildwood Campus Criminal Justice and Nursing Assistant students recently hosted a special breakfast for local first responders — a morning filled with good food, great conversations, and even greater gratitude.
Police Officers, Nurses, Firefighters, Corrections, and Military members joined us for a warm and casual gathering that turned into something truly meaningful. The room buzzed with stories, laughter, and shared experiences as students asked thoughtful questions about career paths, daily challenges, and the realities of public service.
This wasn’t just networking — it was connection. Students gained real insight into what it means to serve and protect a community, while our first responders saw the passion and potential of the next generation preparing to follow in their footsteps. 👏 #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESservice #GSTBOCESculture

Creativity was in full swing in Cosmetology! ✂️💄
Students got to show off their imagination (and costume flair!) during a recent friendly updo competition — but with a twist! Each team received a bag of random items — think clips, straws, ribbon, pipe cleaners, sponges, and even a small trash bag — and had to use every single one to create a themed masterpiece. 💡
From spooky styles to runway-ready looks, students had a blast thinking outside the box and turning everyday objects into works of art. 👏

What an incredible experience for our Coopers Campus FFA students this week! 🌟
On Wednesday, they toured Tulip Tree Creamery in Indiana, where they watched a live mozzarella-making demo and learned about the fascinating cheese aging process 🧀.
The adventure continued at the FFA National Convention in downtown Indianapolis, where students explored agriculture colleges, connected with industry professionals, and networked with FFA members from across the country. They even tried out a digital welder and got a firsthand look at cutting-edge innovations in agricultural technology! 🚜✨
These hands-on experiences are what make learning unforgettable! 💙💛 #FFA #PROUDTOBEGST
