Sanford Regional Technical Center students in the Cosmetology Program visited Empire Beauty School in Somersworth, New Hampshire.
Students got to experience a day in the life of an Empire student, and each returned with a little memento of some sparkly hair tinsel.
Many former SRTC students have gone on to study at Empire and have successful careers in salons and spas all over New England.
The trip was an exciting opportunity for these students as they think and prepare for life after SRTC.

Sanford Middle School's first cooking club was a blast! Students crafted their own savory spaghetti sauce, assembled fresh salads with dressings, and baked garlic bread. Looking forward to more tasty memories ahead!
