Life skills students learn on the job at Cuba Memorial Hospital BY JIM ECKSTROM
Photo by Jim Eckstrom Xander Murray delivers medical supplies to a department in Cuba Memorial Hospital. Murray, participant in a work-based learning program administered by Genesee Valley School District, will go on to the RISE Program at Alfred State College.
CUBA — On a day this past week, Xander Murray was pushing a cart delivering medical supplies to various offices in Cuba Memorial Hospital. Other days he will work in the CMH dietary department — the kitchen — or help out with landscaping on the grounds outside. “I like to work in the kitchen ... I get to cook,” Murray said, adding, “I pretty much like to make anything.” But then he also said he enjoys working on the landscaping because it gets him outdoors.
Whatever a day’s tasks at Cuba Memorial, the overall goal is for Murray to grow in life skills and socialization in a work environment, preparing him for his next step: taking academic and vocational classes in an Alfred State College’s RISE program. Murray, of Fillmore, and several of his high school peers from throughout Allegany County participate in the 12:1:1 High School Life Skills program coordinated at Genesee Valley Central School. Participants include both in-district GV students, as well as students from districts
