The hallways of Sanford Regional Technical Center were filled with excitement as more than sixty 4th graders from Pride Elementary toured SRTC.
Pride students visited six programs throughout the school with the help of guides Kat Randall, Finn Doughty, Neveah Gagne, Tyrese Ottey, Shawnty Harris, and Connor Rice.
They got to see the students in action and also learned what the programs were all about from the instructors who taught them.
SRTC is planting the seeds and getting kids excited about their future in education.
