NORTH GRAFTON, Mass.– Blackstone Valley Tech High School (BVT) has been awarded $3,500 by Homefield Credit Union to support the school’s student transportation van. The vehicle, now sporting the Homefield Credit Union logo, will transport students to job sites throughout Grafton and other local communities. The contribution from Homefield Credit Union will provide the necessary funds to maintain the van for one year.
Christina Duggan of Grafton was part of the team of students in the Painting & Design Technologies program that developed and produced the vinyl decal before adhering it to the van’s surface to showcase the Homefield Credit Union’s sponsorship.
“Homefield Credit Union is proud to support BVT”, said Homefield Credit Union President & CEO Karl Moisan. “We have partnered with the school over the years to provide co-op opportunities to students entering their senior year of high school. We currently have a BVT student working as a Teller at our Main Office in Grafton. The co-op program is an ideal opportunity for students who are ready to begin working in a professional environment.”
