New Visions Engineering Takes Flight!
We’re in full swing this week in NVE! Yesterday, we welcomed Mr. Randy Fatula into the classroom to share insights into his role as a Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin. Students learned how computer systems are integrated into military aircraft and explored real equipment during a hands-on learning experience. ✈️
It was an engaging and informative visit—and we even captured a few great photos!
Thank you, Mr. Fatula, for spending time in our classroom and inspiring our future engineers!

Love animals? Turn that passion into a career. 🐾
Our Animal Science program is hands-on, career-focused, and built for students who want more than a textbook. You’ll dive into animal anatomy and physiology, learn breed identification, health and disease, nutrition, behavior, reproduction, and real-world animal management.
At GST BOCES, students go beyond small animals and gain experience working with large animals, too. From proper handling and restraint to understanding how animals grow, behave, and thrive, this program puts learning into action.
If your future includes working with animals—whether in veterinary care, agriculture, animal management, or beyond—this program helps you build the skills to get there.
Your path. Your interests. Your future with animals starts here. 🐄🐕 #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCESprograms #GSTBOCESculture Learn more: https://www.gstboces.org/o/gst-boces/page/animal-science and attend a CTE Exploration Night in February: https://www.gstboces.org/article/2643111

What. A. Week. in New Visions Engineering!
This past week was packed with learning, hands-on experiences, and excitement from start to finish! We kicked things off with powerful public speaking speeches, then dove into Excel skills—learning how to create templates and import data like pros. ✨
On Thursday, we jumped into company rotations where students get hands on learning in the engineering field with participating companies, and to wrap up an amazing week, we traveled to Siemens Energy to see engineering in action! ⚙️
During our visit, we watched lathes, milling machines, and other rotating equipment at work, explored the assembly building while learning about measurements, checked out reciprocating engines, and even got a demo on using a borescope! A huge thank you to Emily and the team at Siemens Energy for welcoming us and giving us such an incredible experience. 🙌
This week truly opened our eyes to the many exciting paths in engineering—and we can’t wait for what’s next in NVE! 💡🔩

After learning that many food pantry clients receive canned goods but may not have a working can opener, the students organized a fundraising effort to help fill this gap. Thanks to their compassionate initiative, they were able to donate 62 new manual can openers to the Catholic Charities Steuben/Livingston Food Pantry in Hornell.

Students Make a Difference at Local Food Bank!
We’re excited to share that students from the Innovation, Leadership, and Business New Visions program at the Coopers Campus recently volunteered at the Pantry of Angels in Lindley, NY. Their hard work and enthusiasm made a huge impact, saving the food bank staff from some late nights.
Throughout the day, students sorted donations, organized shelves, and prepared food for families to pick up. The food bank staff praised their dedication, teamwork, and positive attitude, noting how much their efforts reflected the values we strive to instill in our school community—leadership, collaboration, integrity, and service.
The experience was so rewarding that the students are already planning a return trip to assist during a busy Thursday evening. We couldn’t be prouder of their commitment to helping others!

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. 💙
