Today at Worcester Technical High School, I had the honor of presenting Superintendent Challenge Coins to Jaylin Q., Zoey R., Hope C., and Keira L., students in Dr. Makuchal's nursing program. These remarkable young women went above and beyond, embodying our Worcester County Public Schools' motto, "People Make the Difference", while providing compassionate hospice care after school. Their kindness, dedication, and selflessness are a true reflection of the values instilled in them by their families, who proudly joined us for this special recognition. -LT #WeAreWorcester #MakingADifference #KindnessMatters
