Students Chat Up Senator Leahy

March 9th, 2010: Nine Students from Stafford Technical Center recently participated in an online chat with US Senator Patrick Leahy. This was the first online chat that the Senator has held with Stafford Technical Center.  The students asked the Senator questions and communicated with him through Skype.  The questions covered a broad range of topics including health care, workforce development, the affordability of college, and even more personal ones like who were his favorite rock bands and the types of summer jobs he had while in high school.  This chat was a wonderful opportunity for the students to interact with an important political figure and learn how they can become more civically engaged in their communities.

Participating students:  Molly Spaulding-Health Careers (Fair Haven High School), Colin Terenzini-Power Mechanics/Welding (Rutland High), David Sexton-Culinary Arts (Mill River), Josh Marcille-Hospitality and Entrepreneurship(West Rutland High School), Colin Haas-Electrical/Plumbing (Rutland High), Luke Molaski-Forestry and Naturual Resources (Otter Valley), Geoffrey McDonald-Public Safety Services (Otter Valley), Lauren Graziano-Architecture Engineering Design (Fair Haven Union High School) and Amber Dumas-Video Production (Rutland High )

Help for Haiti

On Friday, January 29th  Stafford Technical Center’s  Health Careers, Human Services, and Hospitality students held a bake sale to benefit the earthquake victims of  Haiti.

The students in Health Careers initiated the idea of this fundraiser. Students and staff brought in homemade treats and sold them in Campus Common Grounds (Stafford School Store)  and also during STC and Rutland High School lunch periods. Two hundred dollars was raised for this cause.   A special thanks to all who contributed to its success.

Donor Principle

On December 22, students from Stafford Technical Center’s Hospitality & Entrepreneurship, Health Careers, and Human Services Programs recently participated in a very important community service project; The Gift of Life Marathon at the Paramount Theater.  These students and their instructors volunteered in a number of capacities from handing out snacks, keeping a watchful eye on the offspring of those parents donating blood, and some even giving blood for the cause.  Playing even a small part in this very large event, is an important component of their lesson plan for life.
