Out of 75 incredible entries across the region, TWO of our middle school students at Coopers Campus took home top honors — FIRST and SECOND place! 🥇🥈 👏 A huge congratulations to our talented young advocates who are using their voices and creativity to make a difference.

Bush Campus Culinary Arts seniors recently had the privilege of learning from Chef Michael Lanahan, owner of The Cellar in Corning, NY. Chef Lanahan, joined by a colleague from his restaurant, delivered an inspiring live demonstration, sharing expert techniques and insights from the professional kitchen. Following the demonstration, students rolled up their sleeves and recreated the featured dishes—salmon with gnocchi—using ingredients generously donated by Chef Lanahan himself. This hands-on experience offered students a unique opportunity to refine their culinary skills and gain real-world perspective from industry professionals. A heartfelt thank you to Chef Lanahan and his team for investing in the next generation of culinary talent. #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESpartnerships #KnowledgeableatGSTBOCES
