RSTA Class of 2019 Seniors Celebrate

senior dinnerOn the evening of May 9, seniors in the CRLS Class of 2019 and family members packed the Media Cafeteria to celebrate the completion of their RSTA programs, many of them being awarded the Certificate of Occupational Proficiency, given to successful completers of Level 3 (advanced) courses in their respective majors. Families of the seniors, and almost all RSTA faculty members, were present to recognize the students’ achievements.

Welcoming and congratulatory comments were made to the gathering by Cambridge Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Kenny Salim, by CRLS Principal Damon Smith, and by School Committee members Fred Fantini, Patty Nolan, and Emily Dexter. 

“This is a wonderful event” said RSTA Executive Director, Dr. Mike Ananis, who initiated the annual Senior Dinner in 2005. “It is a time of great pride, seeing how these young men and women have achieved and grown in so many ways.”

In his congratulatory comments to the seniors, Dr. Ananis wished them future success, hoped that they would use their knowledge and skills for good and just purposes, and urged them to “live your lives bravely and boldly as people of good character.” All seniors received a certificate appropriate to their accomplishments, and a framed photo of themselves and their classmates.
