Ringing in the holiday season Salvation Army Student Ambassadors ring bells, support CazCares By kate Hill Staff Writer Throughout the next several weeks, Cazenovia High School’s Salvation Army student ambassadors will be ringing in the holiday season with their annual Red Kettle Drive. The bell-ringing fundraiser will benefit the local community through CazCares, a food pantry and clothing closet that serves low-income residents of the Cazenovia Central School District and surrounding areas of Madison County. The drive is a student-run initiative organized in coordination with CazCares Client Services Director GiGi Redmond and with support from the high school teachers and administration. This year, Salvation Army Student Ambassadors JP Hoak, a senior, Reid McMurtrie, a junior, Owen Woodworth, a sophomore,
and Maura Phillips, a freshman, are taking the lead in raising awareness and recruiting high school volunteers to ring bells at Kinney Drugs and Tops Friendly Market from Wednesday, Nov. 23 through Saturday, Dec. 24. “There is a student ambassador representing each grade,” said Hoak. “As you get older you take on more responsibility, and by the time you are a senior you are in charge.” The student ambassadors are responsible for organizing the bell-ringing schedule, signing up other students as volunteers, setting up and taking down the kettles, and collecting and counting the money raised. Hoak said about 50 high school students volunteer their time to the cause each year.

On Nov. 17, Scholars Landscaping, LLC, a new Cazenovia-based landscaping company, donated $1,000 to the Cazenovia Central School District to help fund business classes and scholarships.
Last year, Matthew Maggio launched a Cazenovia-based landscaping company with a unique mission: to support and fund young entrepreneurs and tradespeople in their pursuits of owning their own businesses. The company, Scholars Landscaping, LLC, provides scheduled mowing, weeding and brush removal, pruning and plant care, edging and trimming, and seasonal clean-up to the communities of Manlius, Fayetteville, Cazenovia, Canastota, Oneida, Pompey, and East Syracuse. The startup recently completed its first season in business. Rather than own the company by himself and hire employees, Maggio has opted to partner with young adults and high-school students and make them shareholders in the business. “They share in the profits [of] the business as an owner,” Maggio said. “. . . They don’t work for me; they work for themselves. They have the right to sell their shares back to the company at the end of the year or continue on as an owner into the future.” According to Maggio, the partners gain a lot of the skills required to own a business, such as setting schedules, managing time and expenses, communicating, forming interpersonal and customer relationships, and developing a good work ethic. In addition to mentoring and providing opportunities to young people, the business also plans to donate a portion of its profits back Business
