Bloomingdale Student Part Of Award Winning Passaic County Tech Group

BLOOMINGDALE, N.J.–Passaic County Technical Institute's chapter of the Lindsey Meyer Teen Institute received the "Change Award" at the program's summer conference.

The students, including Jessica Sauer of Bloomingdale, were recognized for the peer to peer awareness projects – including a SNAP Week initiative and Prom Awareness campaign – according to PCTI's Director of Communications/Special Projects Sandra Woods.
