FARMINGTON -Mt. Blue Campus’ Career and Technical Education programs recognized their best and brightest Friday, with an assembly featuring updates on 16 different programs, fabulous door prizes and lots of clapping.
The campus holds four such assemblies annually, one for Gold Day and one for Blue Day students at the end of each semester. It’s a chance to recognize the achievements of students studying in a wide variety of fields, ranging from metal fabrication to biotechnology to nursing to firefighting. Many of the recognized students were selected by their peers.
Each student received a certificate and hooded sweatshirt created by the school’s Commercial Arts program.
Sen. Tom Saviello (R – Wilton) was on hand to present an expression of legislative sentiment to members of the Forestry Team that competed in the 37th annual CTE Loggers’ Meet. The local program took first place in a number of events, including the axe throw, the cross-cut challenge and tree identification among others, as well as bringing home the Sportsmanship Trophy.
