Bristol TEC Says “Thank You”

On Thursday, November 19th, Bristol TEC staff held a “thank you” brunch for all of our supporters who aided in keeping the school open despite state budget cuts. Besides Interim Superintendant Pat Ciccone, other guests included Senator Tom Colapietro, Representatives, Frank NiCastro, Betty Boukas, William Hamzy, Chris Wright, Mayor of Bristol Art Ward, Mayor of Plymouth Vinny Festa, State Education Board member Beverly Bobroske, Chamber of Commerce Vice President Cindy Scoville, NESMA president Bill Lathrop and others. System consultants Ray Mencio, Mark Hussey, and Mark Koncewicz were also on hand.

Four of our students represented the student body at the luncheon. These included Sara Hammer, Erica Prior, Jesse Morton and Jeremiah Royer,  who thoroughly enjoyed mingling with our special guests. The food produced by our Culinary Arts department, and overseen by Chefs Fortuna and Tasimi, was nothing less than spectacular. The Welding department and Manufacturing Technology department, headed by Joe Hanlon, Skip Kern, and Ben Russell, Steve Hanecak respectively, produced some beautiful tokens of appreciation for the event.

After the luncheon, our guests toured the school. They all praised the hard work and dedication our staff and students exhibit towards their trade.
