✂️💈 Bush Campus Cosmetology in the Community! 💈✂️
Here are a few snapshots from our free haircut event at Riverside yesterday! These are some of the awesome kids we saw in the afternoon—but in total, our cosmetology students completed around 50 haircuts in one day!
Today we went to Diven, and with this visit we’ll officially pass 500 free haircuts provided this school year! 🎉
We are so proud of our talented students for giving back to the community and gaining real-world experience along the way.
Great work, Bush Campus Cosmetology! 💙✨

✨ Cosmetology in Action! ✨
This past weekend, our Coopers Campus juniors and seniors from the cosmetology program put their skills to work by helping with hair and makeup for the incredibly successful production of Anastasia.
Students had the opportunity to learn how to take direction, work in a fast‑paced environment, make quick decisions, and channel their creativity into every look. They worked alongside professional stylist Lilly S. from Collage Salon in Corning, gaining real‑world experience and confidence.
The cast’s appreciation was clear, and our students had an amazing time being part of such a beautiful production. We’re so proud of their professionalism, teamwork, and talent! 💇‍♀️💄🎭

📣 Coopers FFA Shines at District 8 LDEs! 🌾💙💛
Over the weekend,, seven Coopers Campus FFA members attended the District 8 Leadership Development Event Competitions! When they weren’t competing, our students jumped in to serve—helping pack over 10,000 meals for the local community food bank. What an amazing way to combine leadership with service!
Our chapter competed in three different prepared speech events, and we are proud to share that each student placed high enough to advance to Substates! 🎉
They’ll be heading to Alfred State College in March to compete in the next round. We couldn’t be more proud of their dedication and hard work—both on and off the competition stage.
Great job, Coopers FFA! 🌟

Big things happen when programs come together at GST BOCES! 🙌

Our Wildwood Building Construction Class of 2026, led by Teacher Rob Lemay and Teaching Assistant Sam Forenz, recently partnered with the Exceptional Education Western End Preschool Programs on a very special project. The construction students designed and built a beautiful custom sensory table that will be part of a new sensory space created especially for preschoolers.

This hands-on project gave high school students real-world building experience while creating a meaningful resource that supports early childhood development, exploration, and play. Seeing our older students use their skills to positively impact our youngest learners is what BOCES is all about.

This partnership is a perfect example of the GST BOCES core value of collaboration and service in action — programs working together, students learning by doing, and our community growing stronger because of it. #PROUDTOBEGST #GSTBOCEScollaboration #GSTBOCESculture #KnowledgeableatGSTBOCES #GSTBOCESservice

Here is a throwback to the 5K Run/Walk/Kid's Fun Run that our students hosted last Spring, with the sponsors that helped make it happen!
