On April 22, the Class of 2021 went on a field trip to Rollarama. After gathering together at the high school, we took the bus to the skating rink. There, seniors swapped out their shoes for roller-skates and began skating. Overall, there were 25 students and 4 teachers in attendance. While many were new to roller skating, just about everyone gave it a try - even the teachers! And all found it to be fun! ~ Riley Carlone SENIOR FORMAL 2021 Even in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Schalmont managed to put together one last prom for our graduating class of 2021. The event was held at the River Stone Manor, and nearly 80 seniors attended dinner, backyard games, and trivia. All the students attending were able to show off their stunning attire during a featured Facebook live video for family and friends (abiding by Covid restrictions!). The night was filled with amazing music from DJ Ketchup, yard games, and fun Karaoke group performances. Seniors were happy to see their classmates from the other side of the alphabet. Overall, It was a memorable night for the graduating class to take with them in their years after high school. ~Marianna Sant abarbara MS. WILLIAMS - "UNMASKED"! Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Scotia. What w as a highlight of your childhood? One of the many highlights of my childhood was spending summer breaks with my siblings. Have you t raveled anyw here? In my early 20?s, I traveled across Europe and made a lot of memories. I also got to see a new part of the world when I studied abroad. Where did you go t o college? I was an undergraduate at Suny Plattsburgh, and went on to UAlbany for my graduate degree. What m ade you w ant t o pursue t he career you are in now ? One of the main reasons was that I wanted to be an advocate for people who did not have a voice, especially for students who are worried about reporting or seeking help for themselves. What is your favorit e part of your job? I love everything! One of the things I like most is seeing students succeed. I also love when students come to me for help and show trust. Even the difficult moments are positive. What is t he w orst part of your job? The worst part is seeing a student give up on themselves. Every student has great potential and they just need to see it and believe in themselves. What are som e differences you have not iced w it h educat ion now and educat ion w hen you w ere a st udent ? Things have changed a lot. Technology has increased and advanced. I notice very negative impacts from social media. Also, mental health issues have increased a ton, and are very common now. Have you accom plished your biggest life goal yet ? My biggest life goal is to always be at peace. It is daily work, but everyday is a blessing. I am always striving to find a balance. Who inspires you t he m ost ? My mother. She's the most intelligent woman I know. What is t he best piece of advice you could give t o ot hers? The best advice I could give is to only focus on things you can control, don't be afraid to put yourself and your priorities first. ~ Madison Fiske THE LIBRARY NEEDS YOUR HELP! With all that?s happened over the last year and a half, a lot of library books have gone astray. These sad and lonely books are languishing under beds, in closets, and on dressers all over the Schalmont school district. Please help them find their way home! Return your library books to the library, your ELA classrooms, or to the Main Office. Let?s get them back on the shelves for next year!! ~ Ms. O'K :) PMOSL.I BTRICINADL CISAI R- "TUONOMNASSKED"!

  • Sustainable Business Transformation Through Workspace Innovation
    Sustainable Business Transformation through Workspace Innovation A Sabre Holdings Case Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Sabre Holdings Flexspace1 case study is designed to provide information and insight on the implementation of a holistic and multi-regional flexible workspace program, with detailed descriptions of the various phases of execution. The objective is to share challenges and best practices with Corporate Real Estate and Sustainability professionals across all industries who are looking to develop similar programs or extend existing programs in support of cost savings goals, space consolidation plans and environmental sustainability initiatives. By shifting to an alternative, flexible space model where only a percentage of cubicles were assigned and others remained available for “flexible use”, Sabre was able to achieve significant savings within 18-months, reducing global real estate costs by 25 percent and ultimately create a sustainable enterprise transformation for value beyond the bottom line. The concept of shared or flexible workspace has been discussed for years in the “Flexspace created a corporate real estate world, primarily as a way for firms dominated by so-called physical environment of road warriors — who are rarely in the office — to trim real estate costs. The concept, often called “hoteling” gives employees a landing pad for occasional flexibility and agility in the visits to the office, including little other than a generic desk and a phone, and workplace which positively enables a company to offer a temporary work space while avoiding the expense for office space that would otherwise sit empty. influenced our company’s Flexible and efficient workspace programs are also now an integral part of many innovative and spirited corporations’ environmental sustainability strategies given that real estate and culture, something that is facilities are one of the greatest areas of opportunity for a corporation to reduce its environmental footprint.
