Windber students who attend GJCTC, along with their parents, and the WASD Administration and School Board were invited to this event. A wonderful pasta bar was available for dinner. Following the dinner, the students in attendance gave a presentation about the program they are involved in at Vo-Tech. They shared their experiences in their fields and expressed their appreciation for being able to get a jump start on their careers. We thank Mr. John Augustine, Administrative Director and GJCTC for inviting us to this fantastic event. The regularly scheduled meeting of WASD School Board was held at VT last night.
