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.

Take A Moment To Thank A Veteran
When you see someone in a uniform,
Someone who serves us all,
Doing military duty,
Answering their country’s call,
Take a moment to thank them
For protecting what you hold dear;
Tell them you are proud of them;
Make it very clear.
Just tap them on the shoulder,
Give a smile, and say,
"Thanks for what you’re doing
To keep us safe in the USA!"
By Joanna Fuchs
Veteran’s Day is Saturday November 11th. There will be parades and gatherings for these heroes. This one day a year is set aside for honoring Veterans and giving thanks that they are willing to make sacrifices to keep our nation strong and safe.
Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military — in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served — not only those who died — have sacrificed and done their duty.
In Sanford High School and Sanford Regional Technical Center we have 8 Veterans. We thank them for their service and recognize:
Air Force Captain Russell Clark
Air Force First Lieutenant Diane Emerson Holm
Navy Petty Officer Ray Demarett
Coast Guard Petty Officer Phillip Burbank
Air Force Specialist Peter O’Brien
Army National Guard Specialist Shawn Rowe
Army National Guard Private First Class Chris Jeney
United States Army Staff Sergeant Matt Petermann
Collaboration between the programs at Sanford Regional Technical Center is beneficial for staff and students. Students in the Building Trades Program worked to build and install walls for Video Production in studio sets!
SRTC Student grades are up to date for the 1st Quarter on Infinite Campus. The "In Progress" is up to date and should reflect your student's performance in their program. We are now beginning Quarter 2 of Semester 1. Please contact Anne L'Heureux at alheureux@sanford.org if you do not have Infinite Campus access.
Kiwanis in Sanford made a donation to the SRTC Building Trades Program, recognizing the program's dedication to revitalizing Cobb Stadium.
Kiwanis took the initiative to organize an effort aimed at revitalizing Cobb Stadium. They scheduled four days of work to be carried out by their members and students in the Building Trades Program. The specific task was to strip and reside the existing storage garage situated in the lower back corner of Cobb.
Kiwanis members and students stripped off the old wood clapboard siding and replaced it with new white vinyl siding, giving the structure a refreshed and modern appearance.
They also installed aluminum wrap trim, ensuring durability and protection for years to come.
To express their support for the SRTC Building Trades Program's contribution to the revitalization of Cobb Stadium, Kiwanis donated $1,500 to the program. This contribution will enhance the program's resources and enable them to continue providing valuable hands-on experiences to future students.
