Schools, SRVRTC to host Annual Expo

The Newport Middle and High School and Sugar River Valley Regional Technology Center will host its fourth Annual Expo on Thursday, Oct. 21, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The academic Expo is an exciting event at which we will showcase interactive displays of our core academic classroom experiences from our middle and high schools. The Newport Middle and High School band and chorus will provide entertainment in the halls, which will be decorated with creative displays from our art department. The gymnasium will once again be filled with lots of excitement and energy with ongoing athletic engagements. We would like to welcome our families to stop in and visit the new Learning Commons in the Newport Middle High Schools Media Center on the second floor. This new transformation creates an excellent environment for our students learning experience.

Additionally, there will be an open house of our Sugar River Valley Regional Technology Center. The center’s programs include automotive technology, cosmetology, health sciences technology, horticulture, natural resources/forestry, pre-engineering/Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and welding. Families are encouraged to come and experience the wonderful opportunities our district has to offer the students of Newport and our sending districts.

Interwoven throughout the fair will be many of our community resource programs, available to all families within the district, which seek to assist students in bridging the gap as they transition from high school to young adulthood by delivering content and resources to help them make positive connections for planning their future.

The evening is sure to be an exciting adventure for the families and students of Newport as once again there will be delicious treats from our Café Services, ongoing demonstrations and door prizes during the fair, including a raffle for a Chromebook. Please join us as we engage in civic pride to celebrate the educational and resourceful opportunities we have to offer within our community.

Please note that COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place at this event and masks will be required to enter. Hand sanitizer stations will also be in place throughout the Expo.
