Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming program alum Jaiden back as a guest speaker this time with her daughter! Jaiden shared with our students how the skills and knowledge she gained through the program continue to shape her life, from her career to motherhood.
Students had the opportunity to practice real-world observation skills, watching developmental milestones in action and reflecting on what they observed using the Maine Early Learning and Development Standards. It was a powerful way to connect classroom learning to real life.
We’re looking forward to welcoming Jaiden and her daughter back in a few months so students can observe and compare growth across the developmental domains and see firsthand how children grow and change over time. Experiences like this remind us why hands-on, authentic learning matters!

A great opportunity to learn about the trades here in Washington County
The St. Croix Regional Technical Center Criminal Justice Program has been busy. We're diving deep into the exciting opportunities and agencies that our program prepares students for. Not only do we invite guest speakers to provide firsthand insights, but we also cover specialized skills and duties essential for officers and agents. Additionally, we've toured local and federal agency facilities to explore the roles and daily experiences of law enforcement.

💙 Community, Collaboration, and the Power of Giving 💙
Last year, our Early Childhood Education program teamed up with Girl Scout Troop 2253 and received a $500 donation to purchase gifts for more than 80 local elders, including residents in assisted-living and nursing-home settings. What started as a service project quickly became something much more.
Our students learned the true impact of giving.
Our elders felt seen, valued, and celebrated.
And our program discovered a new tradition worth continuing.
✨ This year, we’re back for Year Two, and we grew even bigger. ✨
We were thrilled to partner with Mrs. Posick and the Criminal Justice program, along with other SCRTC programs, to expand our holiday outreach and increase our impact across the community. This collaboration brought together new perspectives, shared leadership, and a collective commitment to service.
With a $500 donation, students worked together to:
✔️ Create and distribute a needs-based survey for each residence
✔️ Budget responsibly and problem-solve while shopping
✔️ Purchase bags, tissue paper, and meaningful gifts for each bag
✔️ Ensure items were safe and appropriate for residents’ health needs
✔️ Collaborate across programs to assemble and deliver the gift bags
To make it even more special, our Culinary program created homemade treats to include with deliveries and during visits, ECE and Criminal Justice students decorated cookies alongside residents, which was so much fun! (photos in part 2)
📍 Community Locations Served:
Wellmore Point
Union Village
Remeliah House Assisted Living
Calais Alternative Care
New Horizons
North Street Bridge Home
Robbinston Bridge Home
This project was more than gifts; it was about connection, dignity, teamwork, and learning through service. We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful to our community partners who made this possible.
💫 Here’s to continuing this tradition and strengthening our community together. 💫 This post will be shared a couple of times, as there are more photos from other students who participated in this project as well.

Students in our Computer Technology program are putting real-world skills to work! 💻🔧
Today, Jack replaced a student’s shattered iPhone 14 screen, one of the many device repair skills they’ve learned in class. From tablets to phones, our students are building hands-on technical abilities that translate directly into future careers.
CTE in action! 👏📱
Our senior Early Childhood Education students had the opportunity of a lifetime and had the opportunity to attend two incredible days of the Connecting Early Childhood Education: Birth Through Eight Across the State conference in Portland!
This statewide event brings together early childhood professionals from across Maine: teachers, directors, caregivers, advocates, and more to learn, connect, and grow together.
At the conference, our students took part in inspiring keynote sessions, hands-on workshops, and interactive breakout sessions led by experienced ECE professionals.
It was amazing to see them network with educators from around the state, ask thoughtful questions, and reflect on how high-quality early childhood education is built. They truly represented SCRTC with pride, passion, and professionalism. 💙
Huge thanks to MaineAEYC for organizing such an impactful and inspiring event and congratulations to our seniors for embracing this experience and coming away with fresh ideas and renewed inspiration for working with Maine’s youngest learners! And a big thank you to the Maine Department of Education CTE ECE Grant team for sponsoring 5 tickets for our students! 👶📚💙

🌟 What a great day for our students at St. Croix Regional Technical Center! 🌟
We’re so proud of our students who attended the SkillsUSA Maine Fall Leadership Conference at Northern Maine Community College. Not only did they build leadership skills and network with peers from across the state, they were guided and supported by SkillsUSA Maine’s very own student-driven state officers.
Events like this led by students for students give our future trades and technical professionals a chance to grow in their skills and their confidence. Thanks to the SkillsUSA state officers, advisory teams, and NMCC for hosting this inspiring event. Here’s to more growth, learning, and success for our students! 💪👏
