Happy Tech Tuesday, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!
Last Thursday our CTE programs came together to celebrate the upcoming holidays with our annual CTE Holiday Festival. This event is a well earned reward for all the hard work our students have put in this semester!
Students enjoyed a cozy class period of treat-making, warm holiday drinks, games, a campfire, and plenty of laughs. From socializing across programs to catching a surprise visit from Santa himself, the event was filled with cheer and community spirit. A special thank you to Forestry and Animal and Plant Science for letting us use their space, and to all the teachers who went above and beyond to plan and make the event special!
Celebrating together as one CTE family is our favorite way to wrap up the calendar year. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from all of us at SRVRTC!

This week, we’re celebrating the power of collaboration between programs here at SRVRTC!
Students from our Engineering and Welding programs teamed up to support a project for our Forestry program’s aquaponics setup. Engineering students led the design process, creating detailed plans for a custom trellis, an important structure used to support plant growth in an aquaponics system, where plants and fish work together in a sustainable growing environment.
Once the design was finalized, our Welding students brought it to life, cutting, assembling, and fabricating the trellis with precision and care. This kind of cross program teamwork mirrors the real world experience of taking an idea from concept to creation, and highlights the value of shared knowledge.
Great job to all the students and educators involved!

Our cosmetology program has been working on some awesome projects over the last couple of weeks. Level one students had the opportunity to learn multiple different braiding styles which they used to create elaborate and skillful holiday hairdos. The level two students got to dive into the world of Special Makeup Effects (SFX Makeup). They learned how to create and style the prosthetic makeup the same way artists do for movies, plays, and live action events. Watch out Hollywood, if you ask me, our students are ready to compete with the best of them!

Our Welding students have been working on a restoration project that allows them to practice multiple skills that they have learned in the program. From welding, grinding, corrosion removal and more, our students are making this trailer as beautiful as the day it was built.
Enjoy the snow, stay warm, and drive safe!

This week our Health Science program split up into teams and had a bone to pick with one another. With a test covering the skeletal system on the horizon, students had a friendly competition to see which group could assemble and label the skeleton the fastest, along with the highest accuracy. It was both a fun and interactive way to review some of the material learned in class.
Even though we still have our skeletons out, we would like to wish everybody an amazing Thanksgiving week. Here at SRVRTC we are very thankful to have a community who supports Career and Technical Education as much as the Newport community does.

Our Auto students are on a roll to start the second semester. The Future Technicians are working on a couple different tasks within the Auto Lab Shop. In our pictures here you can see them working projects like changing and balancing tires, to working on engines. The students are so passionate about their work and you can feel the sense of pride when asked about what they're working on.

Today we wanted to take a moment and give a special thank you to two of our SRVRTC teachers who served in the Marine Corps. Mrs. Kerin-Herrick, our Welding instructor and Mr. Stoddard, our Automotive instructor. Thank you to all who have served, we appreciate you, and we hope you have an amazing day

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) has started off the year creating a culture that would help any business rise to the top! Professionalism, workplace culture, and soft skills are just a few of the important lessons our Business & Marketing Program students take with them and build on in FBLA. During events like team meetings and game night the students are able to work with each other and problem solve on situations that may not always arise in the classroom. This is an advantage for our students because it allows them to have new experiences that they are able to build off, or create new connections with other students forging stronger bonds and deeper thinking between peers when faced with new situations. We are stronger together than alone and our Business program is a prime example of how to grow and thrive as a unit.
Happy Tech Tuesday!
Our Level II Education and Behavioral Science students are pinning up their skills all around the school leaving our eyes anything but "board". The students have taken on the planning and creation of multiple bulletin boards in the Tech Center as well in the High School. The students are working on collaboration skills by learning about the teachers and their subjects, and how they can creatively produce a bulletin board that draws your attention while also being functional and reaching their target audience. This project also combines a number of elements, including EBS's working with school and community competency, using educational tools (like our Cricuts, printers, and laminators) as well as project and time management.
Thank you for brightening up our space EBS!
(A number students who worked diligently on these boards are not pictured but their hard work is still appreciated.)

This week, we’re taking you inside our Engineering program, where our Level 2 students are beginning to explore the specific disciplines that spark their passion.
Whether they’re designing and constructing weight bearing bridges and building models to test their civil engineering skills, or diving into the world of coding, music production, and video game design, these students are discovering what it means to turn curiosity into career readiness.
It’s hard not to think of the phrase, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life,” when you see the energy and focus in the lab. Our Engineering students bring a unique blend of creativity, logic, and hands on skill that fuels innovation and drives every lesson forward.
Keep up the amazing work, Engineers. Your future is being built one project at a time!

Last Friday, a large group of our Agriculture students had the chance to compete and practice historic FFA events at the NH Deerfield Fair.
For many, this fair was their very first introduction to competition, while our more seasoned students had the opportunity to showcase their advanced and growing skills. We are thrilled to share that our Floriculture Team earned 1st place overall in their competition and our Forestry Team took home 2nd place in their competition!
We couldn’t be prouder of the dedication and hard work these students have already shown this year. Congratulations to all who competed, you’ve set the bar high, and we can’t wait to see what more you’ll accomplish as the year unfolds!

Happy Tech Tuesday! Our Cosmetology program gives our students an amazing education in developing skills in hairstyling, nail care, skin care, esthetics, and customer service balanced with learning the chemistry, anatomy and science of the hair, skin, and nails.
To start off the year our Cosmetology level 1 students had the opportunity to meet their neighboring programs and build connections that will allow all programs to create a collaborative space that benefits our students. We can't wait to see what this school year brings.
