Hello SSVT Community,

I would like to congratulate Culinary Arts Senior Jennifer Lee for being named SSVT's Outstanding Vocational Student of the Year!  There is a great article on Jen in this week's Abington Mariner.

Jen will be recognized at the Abington Board of Selectmen meeting on March 25th and at a state wide banquet in Worcester on April 4th.

March Updates

Hello SSVT Community,

I hope you are enjoying the melting snow!

I have a few updates from the past few weeks.

First, we want to congratulate Josh Kimball (CP, Grade 12) for being named the February Student of the Month.  Josh was recognized at the February 25 school committee meeting and the meeting was covered by the Whitman-Hanson Express in its February 28, 2013 edition.

Also, we were fortunate to host Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray on March 8th as part of our Winter Program Advisory meeting.   The Lieutenant Governor has been a strong advocate for vocational education and he spoke about a recent grant that was published that will help fund vocational equipment.  He also toured the school seeing several of our vocational programs, and met staff and advisors.  Thank you also to State Representatives Rhonda Nyman and Jim Cantwell for attending.  Finally, a big thank you to all advisors and staff for attending the meeting during the beginning of what was a very significant snowstorm!  WATD covered the event along with the Mariner newspapers.

The Whitman-Hanson Express also covered the event with an article on page 11.

Please check the school website for information on soon-to-be school calendars and information on our SSVT Class Reunion and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony!
