SSVT Hosts First Cross Country Meet with New Trail

Hello SSVT Community,

On October 15th, SSVT was proud to host its first Cross Country meet on campus. This is a very detailed event to organize and it could not have been accomplished without the work of Senior Cosmetology Student Nick Bunker.  Nick is also in the midst of completing his Eagle Scout project as part of Troop 38 of Hanover.

For Nick's project he chose to build a Cross Country Trail for the school, and we could not be more grateful for his efforts.  Eagle Scout projects bring communities together and are an invaluable learning experience for the young adults who embark on the project.

Nick worked with Cross Country coach Mr. Joe Madera and also with Drafting Class of 2014 graduate Brendan Shea (who was also a member on the Cross Country team at the time).  Brendan and his Drafting teachers Ms. Jeanne Downey and Mr. Rob Freitas assisted with providing AutoCAD drawings of the trails.

Last school year, I met with Nick and his scoutmaster Mr. David Sawin to discuss Nick's plans before he had to go to Hanover Conservation with the idea.  With careful planning and organizing, Nick set a goal and reached it! He is very appreciative of all the help and support.

To Nick and the volunteers from Troop 38, South Shore Vo-Tech says "thank you!"

Nick Bunker's planning and hard work will benefit our Cross Country team
for years to come


The trail is outlined with branches and rope
for safety and direction for runners.
