Wright Tech Culinary Arts Students Serve it UP for Firemen

Wright Tech Culinary Arts students took on a huge task last week to help out their community.  Approximately 15 Culinary Arts students volunteered their time on Saturday, January 26th  to benefit firefighters with cancer.  According to Culinary Arts Instructor Chef Sandy Hines, several hundred fire fighters from around the country are suffering from various forms of cancer.  The benefit, which was held at UCONN Stamford, hosted more than 320 fire fighters who have been inflicted with cancer.

Chef Hines was overwhelmed with positive comments about her students and the service that they provided.  “Many compliments were received praising the students for volunteering their time, their professionalism and their positive attitudes,” said Hines, the 2006 Wright Tech Teacher of the Year.

The students spent three days preparing salads, assorted sandwiches and desserts for the firemen.  They left a lasting impression on the community and represented Wright Tech proudly.  They exhibited how the skills they learn in school can be used to make a difference for others and benefit a great cause.
