SRTC sponsored our annual College and Career Fair on Tuesday, November 9th after a one year hiatus due to COVID. We are proud to say that this event can be done safely! Students at both SHS and SRTC learned about their options from 80 different colleges, employers and branches of the military who were our guests for the day. Representatives were thrilled with the organization of the facility, the structure of the day, and the students, who were praised as being well-prepared, interested, and smart. Many thanks to several SHS and SRTC individuals and groups who made everything come together, from the overall organization and prep, food, set up and clean up, signage and communications and guest services including check-in, greeting, and parking. SRTC students were involved in every aspect of this event and, as always, helped us to shine!

SRTC celebrated the day with many costumes and seasonal activities. In the Academy of Business, students participated in a little spook-a-tition working in teams on marketing a Halloween event. Students created menus, coupons, merchandise, and more relating to their chosen theme.
Digital Design students wrapped up their horror movie poster competition with some chilling scenes. Students from throughout the school had the opportunity to vote on the scariest, most creative, and the movie they most wanted to watch.
Students from the AM session of Landscaping and Horticulture are preparing to sell their next batch of apple cider, produced from apples they harvested. Our cider was pressed locally by Giles Farm.

The Engineering Applications with Robotics program at the Sanford Regional Technical Center is now sponsored by Pratt & Whitney! The attached photo is from the celebration and photo opportunity to acknowledge this gift made through the Sanford Schools Legacy Foundation. Pratt & Whitney has been a long-time supporter of our FIRST Robotics involvement, so their sponsorship for this program is a perfect fit.
Pictured are Matt Nelson, Superintendent of Schools and Legacy Board Member, Patsy Aprile, Legacy Board President and COO of Southern Maine Health Care, James Brann, former PMT mentor, Engineer, and Business Unit Manager for one of Pratt & Whitney North Berwick’s business units, Lorelei Richey, Sr. Director of Operations at Pratt & Whitney, Tom Stierhoff, Robotics Engineer and Robotics Team mentor at Pratt & Whitney and Mark Patterson, Legacy Board Member and owner of Patco Construction.

Academy of Business students easily transitioned to remote instruction last week and presented their projects remotely. Our Academy of Business PM students were doing presentations about the Marketing Research Process. Students worked on presentations in teams of 2-3 and covered the following topics:
1. Components of the Marketing Research Process
2. Limitations of Market Research
3. Benefits of Market Research
4. Technology that Can Be Used to Conduct Market Research on Industry, Customers and Competition.
Also, National M&M Day was on October 13. The AM Academy of Business students had to design their own M&M product and present it to the class showing how they incorporated the Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place and Promotion). Students voted for their favorite, which was designed by Elaina Eves from Noble High School.
Many thanks to our SRTC Instructors who quickly transitioned to remote instruction last week for Thursday and Friday. Here, Chef John Couture, Culinary Arts Instructor, teaches through a live demo for students.
