Our 34th Annual All-School Thanksgiving Lunch was greatly enjoyed by all and now everyone is looking forward to our Annual Holiday Lunch on Tuesday, December 21st.
The Students and Staff of the Vocational Department would like to thank Don Clark of Clark Shredders, LLC for his recent donation of the repair costs for our table-top shredder, as well as his donation of a mail sorter. Mr. Clark’s generosity has also allowed us over the last several years to purchase our large floor model shredders at substantially reduced cost. The larger shredders allow us to process the large volume of paper that the RSS generates into animal bedding which is delivered twice weekly to the West Hartford Puppy Center.
Information for Mr. Clark’s services and products can be found at: http://www.shredders-r-us.com/.
Ethan G, June 2011 graduate, has begun an internship/exploration in the Cafeteria at the John J. Allison, Jr. Polaris Center, a sister CREC program in East Harford, where he is learning to run the register during the 3 lunch waves with support from his Job Coach, Diane Provenzano.
Jon T, June 2011 graduate, has begun an internship/exploration at the East Windsor Big Y and is off to a great start. Jon had a positive attitude throughout and reported that the best thing about his first day was “working with those nice people and the ease of the job”. Congratulations, Jon!
Billy McCabe and his mother, MaryElllen joined us for our Thanksgiving Lunch. It was great to see Billy and his Mom, and to hear how well he is doing.
We hear that Eric O, one of our 2007 Graduates, is doing well and working full time at the Walgreen’s Distribution Center in Windsor Locks.
