Community Service Team Off to Nationals

Tomorrow Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School's Community Service SkillsUSA team will be heading to Nationals to compete with schools across the country. This year I served as their ambassador to spread their message "Together We Can." I am so beyond happy for their team and know that they will do wonderful at Nationals. Regardless of the outcome, they made a lasting impression on our state, school, and community. The team has continued to raise awareness throughout school projects, community outreach and volunteer work on the risks and prevention of cancer. I have witnessed them dedicating countless hours to their campaign and know the commitment they had to it and the cause they were supporting. They have spent countless hours collecting Children's Books for Boston Children's Hospital. They also worked closely with Dana Farber and the American Cancer Society, raising money for those two incredible foundations. On Mother's Day, I traveled to the State House with the team to hang a banner that they had made across the State House to honor all the Mother's who had suffered from any form of cancer. After seeing what a fabulous job they had done, I couldn't be more honored and proud to be their ambassador. Please keep them in your thoughts this week as they travel to Kansas City, MO to compete at the National SkillsUSA Champions at Work Competition!
