Grad 90 Gives Back

On Wednesday December 12 Grad 90 stu-

dents and staff participated in a volunteer

opportunity at Ronald McDonald House

Charities of the Capital Region. The

Ronald McDonald House is a home away

from home for children with illnesses and

their families. RMHC provides housing and support for those in need while their

children are at being cared for by Albany Medical Center doctors and care

teams. RMHC runs on the support and donations of the community and those

who volunteer their time.

Pictured is a group of culinary students who planned and executed breakfast for

35 guests of the house. These young men and women took such pride in prep-

ping a thoughtful and balanced meal and staying to serve for the families.

CTS staff brought a group of Grad 90 students who are ready to graduate our

program to give back to those in need. The afternoon group helped with tasks

around the house such as organizing donations of Christmas gifts, cleaning areas

to ensure they are sterile, baking treats for the families and some wrapping.

The sense of pride which was displayed by each

of these young men and women was heart

warming. They were so happy to be at the house

and surrounding themselves with those who

needed some extra love and support this holiday

season.

Kenric Herring, a lifelong resident of New

York State, was chosen as Glenmont’s

Student of the Week for making major im-

provements in academics. Mr. Herring has

excellent attendance, is in class on time

and ready to go every day! Kenric has al-

so been attending night tutoring and said

that after doing math day in and day out

that everything just started clicking ena-

bling him to hit a 12.9 in math! He is cur-

rently working towards a 12.9 in reading

so that after he finishes his trade he will

be able to participate in the AT Solar pro-

gram on campus.

Mr. Herring heard about Glenmont Job

Corps Center (GJCC) from friends of friends and was pleasantly surprised when he arrived on

campus to find that he already knew a couple of other students that were here from his

hometown. Not doing much with is life before arriving at GJCC he said that doing the same

thing every day was getting monotonous and he wasn’t seeing a future, he was seeing a dead

end road which made him realize that he had to and wanted to do something with his life. He

appreciates the fact that he is able to learn a trade while also being able to complete his educa-

tion. Kenric also likes the independence factor on campus which he attributes to aiding him in

gaining more maturity, understanding the fact that he is personally responsible for everything

he does but yet has the structure, routine, encouragement and support from staff to reach his

goals and succeed. Kenric wants to pursue the FM program while here, having done some prior

construction work and eventually would like to move into the AT Solar program at Glenmont,

wanting to stay in the area where he has family.

Having been working so hard on his studies Mr. Herring has not participated in recreation ac-

tivities yet but does enjoy nature, running and swimming so he intends on doing more of these

activities once his schedule frees up a little. Academic Manger Ms. Popow added to her nomi-

nation comments that Kenric is an excellent student who has a great work ethic and will suc-

ceed at whatever he sets his mind to!

Congratulations Mr. Herring on being named Student of the Week! Keep up the good work!

Ms. Stickler's art club is in full holiday spirits! This project involved

wooden planter pots with a Christmas holiday theme. Students used their

creativity and designed some pretty amazing reindeer while others created

fun chimneys and snowflakes. As always, everyone had a lot of fun with

laughter and music. Come join us and show everyone how creative you

truly are. Limited supplies and seats so come on time. See you there!

What is Job Corps?

Job Corps is a no-cost education

and vocational training program administered

by the U.S. Department of Labor that helps

young people ages 16 through 24 improve the

quality of their lives through vocational and ac-

ademic training. Funded by Congress, Job

Corps has been training young adults for mean-

ingful careers since 1964. Job Corps is commit-

ted to offering all students a safe, drug-free envi-

ronment where they can take advantage of the

resources provided. Job Corps' mission is to at-

tract eligible young people, teach them the skills

they need to become employable and inde-

pendent, and place them in meaningful jobs or

further education.

“A Community Working Together to

Achieve Success.”

ADAMS AND ASSOCIATES, INC. EMPLOYEE

HOTLINE

Adams and Associates, Inc. is committed to providing a forum

for employees to express concerns. The most effective way to

do this is to utilize the local chain of command or Human Re-

sources Department. However, there may be times when an em-

ployee has exhausted the local chain of command or is not com-

fortable expressing concerns at the local level and wishes to

have them heard at the Corporate level. An Employee Hotline

has been established to provide intake, investigation and resolu-

tion of concerns elevated to the Corporate Office.
