New Community worksites

McCarthy Concrete in South Windsor has offered our students a site for document shredding since the 2010-2011 school year. Beginning in summer 2011, at the company's request, our student services and opportunities expanded to include maintenance work. Thank you, McCarthy Concrete !

We added TJ Max in the Windsor Shopping Center in September to our array of work sites. Thank you,TJ Maxx!

35th Annual All-School Thanksgiving, Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Students and staff alike are eagerly anticipating this year's Annual All-School Thanksgiving Lunch, our 35th, which will be shared on Tuesday, November 15, with a menu that has something for everyone: turkey & gravy, mashed potatoes, cornbread, stuffing, a green vegetable, cranberry sauce, and apple & pumpkin pies.

Vocational staff look forward every year to participating in the planning, preparation and serving of our holiday meal, and are looking forward to sharing another great Thanksgiving with the River Street Community! We are grateful to be able to return to a largely undamaged River Street Campus after our recent October snow storm.
