PRESIDENT'S CORNER ... by Prez Bill
Greetings, Skantarians! Another fantastic Pancake Breakfast in the books! I cannot thank all of you and so many in the community enough for stepping up. So much prep and take down for a day that absolutely flies by. Final numbers are still being calculated but we should start the year with a strong financial base.
This past Thursday we were treated to an outstanding speech by Steve Woodard, Director of Career and Technical Education detailing what services and opportunities our BOCES provides. A great program that provides solid advantages to our youth and regional businesses.
Enjoy the weather and a great weekend! Thank you.
LAST WEEK:.... by Bill Conole

Steve passionately described how BOCES is providing students with training for good paying jobs & for solid career building opportunities.
Today’s BOCES Programs are vastly improved from the old days of “vocational training”. BOCES offers a large array of educational and training programs that provide students with skills that will enable them to enter the job market fully trained and prepared for the modern world. BOCES offers programs in Automotive Technology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation and Graphic Design & New Media just to cite a few. These programs are designed to respond career fields where there is a high demand for qualified employees. BOCES trains their students for the work world by stressing punctuality, proper attire and appearance and how to properly meet & interact with employers.
Currently Cayuga Onondaga BOCES serves 9 high schools –7 in Cayuga County and 2 in Onondaga County [including Skaneateles High School]. Over 600 students are enrolled in the Cayuga Onondaga BOCES Program.
In closing Steve invited our club to have a meeting in the BOCES Center in Auburn. The Culinary Arts students will prepare will prepare dinner for our club & we will have a chance to meet some students.
