Spot Light: Student of the Summer

Eddy C

10th year Voc. Dept. student

Favorite job: delivering shredding to the West Hartford Puppy Center

I'm really good at: helping my co-workers load the van and unload the shredding.

I've made a lot of progress in: staying on-task, helping others, talking about problems before I get really upset.

Something interesting about me: I'm a helper.  I like to help staff.  I like directing traffic and being a monitor.  I have been doing very well over the past few months.  I'm happy.

Welcome Back!

The Vocational Dept. staff extend a warm welcome to all our returning students and their families.  We are looking forward to another great year.
