Students Step Out of the Classroom and Contribute to St. John’s Meadows
The successful educational partnership between St. John’s Meadows and Edison Career and Technology High School continues to draw praise for the many ways it benefits students as well as the St. John’s community.
The program brings student workers into St. John’s Meadows to gain valuable work experience, while helping support dining and environmental services operations, as volunteers. “There’s a lot of fun things here,” student-volunteer Trayvon Scaife told 13 WHAM news. “Not only the work, its the people. That makes the work better.”
Students from this partnership program have actually gone on to work at St. John’s after graduation. That includes Anthony Mongeone, who was the focus of a previous story about the St. John’s/Edison Tech partnership and has since been hired to work at St. John’s Meadows.
Scaife’s contributions are made four days a week for dining services, doing work that he considers hands-on job experience towards a potential career. “I’ve been thinking about what I want to do when I leave,” he told WROC-TV. “I want to run my own cafe.”
