Sophistication on the Menu at Superintendent's Dinner

On a  daily basis, the students of Blackstone Valley Regional Technical High School work to refine and strengthen sophisticated 21^st century skills and talents.  Each year the system highlights the efforts of several vocational technical programs, in particular Culinary Arts and Painting & Design Technologies, by hosting the Superintendent’s Dinner. This year is no exception.

The 17^th annual dinner at Blackstone Valley Tech, a highly successful fundraiser, will be held on Thursday, April 7. The evening commences with an elaborate reception at 5 p.m., followed by an extravagant dinner at 6 p.m. All beverages are served by volunteer alumni and staff.

Tickets to this popular event are sold out. To be placed on the waiting list, call Diana Pedersen at 508-529-7758, extension 3033 or via email at dpederse@valleytech.k12.ma.us.

Contributions are tax deductible. The seven-course gourmet dinner and reception is one avenue the system uses to generate financial support for a variety of initiatives and programs to benefit student learning and additional educational experiences. 

The theme for this year’s special evening is A Taste of New England.  The menu includes dishes featuring local flavors such as Cape Cod cranberries and Vermont cheddar. Students from the Painting & Design program, with the help of other programs such as Carpentry, will transform the school cafeteria into a warm and inviting atmosphere.
