Mr. Bruce Ejzak and Mr. Michael Oleksiw, SkillsUSA advisors, would like to congratulate this years’ students for their great showing in this years competition.  They would also like to all the shop instructors for the time they spent with the students, preparing them for the competition.

Friday, March 28th, was a long day.  Leaving at 5:45 AM from Oliver Wolcott, the students met at Vinal Tech before 7 AM.  The competitions were held all over the state, most concluding before 6 PM.  A concluding ceremony was held at the Lyman Center on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University.  The students finally returned to Torrington at 10:15 that evening.

Mr. Ejzak and Mr. Oleksiw said that it was great seeing the kids getting their awards.   Students receive certificates, and some even merit college scholarships. “There are few occasions for everyone from all the schools to get together.  It is a long day, but we had fun and the kids did great,” they concluded.
