1. Massanutten Technical Center organized its annual community day, offering families an opportunity to have fun in the sun while also exploring the various programs offered by the center. Saturday's event sparked curiosity among parents, encouraging them to learn more about the school and its curriculum. Culinary arts students showcased their skills by serving wings and homemade sauce, demonstrating real-life applications of their learning. Massanutten Technical Center's commitment to thinking ahead and providing innovative courses ensures that there are no limits to what students can explore and achieve. (WHSV)
