CP III/IV students have been going to their job sites at Susquehanna SPCA, Trinity, and Westlake Ace Hardware and learning valuable work skills!
In November, students are practicing gratitude. Gratitude is mindful thankfulness even when things are challenging. When we practice gratitude, we feel thankful and want to share that feeling with others. We are grateful for these beautiful days and for each other!
New Visions Engineering students visited SUNY ESF in Syracuse on October 16th for an exciting campus tour. Led by Mr. Feola and three student guides (including New Visions alumni), they explored the school’s innovative programs, sustainability efforts, and unique campus life. From Illick Hall to the Gateway Center’s wildlife collection, the students left with a great impression of SUNY ESF, making it a top choice for those interested in environmental studies!
The class also visited Syracuse University for a campus tour led by alumni and staff. They explored iconic buildings like the Hall of Languages, Bird Library, and Carnegie Library, followed by a presentation on SU's programs and clubs. Students toured lab spaces and had lunch at Shaw Hall, where they met up with past NVE alumni. The day wrapped up with a tour of the JMA Wireless Dome, where they learned about its impressive engineering and history.

The Mechatronics senior class wanted to thank Arianna Patsos, Consultant Teacher, for being the "Mechatronics Mom." In the past five years of the program, Ms. Patsos has been a constant help in guidance, mentoring, assisting in writing speeches and applications and helping to develop work skills. This program relies on guidance from industry and our Advisory Board, and the unwavering help from Ms. Patsos has helped make this program a success! Thank you!!

The Natural Resources Occupations Program is a two-year experience designed to prepare students to enter the workforce or continue their education at a post-secondary institution. During their two years, students learn to operate and maintain diverse equipment. These machines include bulldozers, backhoes, skidders, skid steers, dump trucks, motor graders, chainsaws, and various surveying instruments. Students also gain knowledge and experience in forest management, wildlife management, water resources, and outdoor recreation. Skidding, road building, water, and drainage systems are all incorporated into this program.
