TORRINGTON – Tuesday morning at Oliver Wolcott Technical High School, teams of freshmen traveling with their senior mentors discovered notes for a scavenger hunt as they navigated the hallways and classrooms.
In the carpentry department, manager Mike Gargano met with the elegance of young people. “Today we are getting rid of the data, talking about what is expected and what young people expect,” he said. The aroma of sawdust and device oil filled the air of the spacious workshop, where the appliances are adjusted and in conditions of use.
Gargano and workshop teacher Tom Walsh are ready for another busy year. The workshop, full of loom apparatus, has a new “workshop bot” that can be programmed to cut wood for projects. “There’s software that can do anything, so kids are informed about how to use this new device,” he said.
“Our young people will be in the workshop for the next two weeks and then they will run out of school,” Gargano said. “Children need to be informed on site, build terraces, roofs, other jobs. “
This year, carpentry students will paint at the Bristol Fire Department’s new centre on a roofing assignment. “We also have a terrace task in a space on Mountain Road in Torrington,” Gargano said.
He called the projects “real professional paintings,” which are combined with time spent in class. “You will leave here for the site of the structure. You will paint with cold, rain and snow. . . You’ll want warm clothes, shoes. You’ll be in a position for that,” he told the students.
The OWTS also has fellows enrolled in work-based learning, which means that if they have a task in their field, it counts as their expertise in technical education. This year, five juniors are already enrolled.
“If they’re doing WBL, then they’re running 3 days a week and they’re in elegance for two days, and they’re documenting it with documents (for credit),” he said. “As long as they can go to work, so much the better,”

“We do our papers today and settle down; it’s going to be a wonderful year,” Allard said.
At the end of the hall, instructor Sarah Fasciano welcomed an organization for her hairdressing class. “This is a wonderful year for young people,” he said. “They’re going to enjoy art in our living room, The Upper Class. “
Superior elegance is open to the public and makes appointments for a variety of services: haircuts, ornaments, hairstyles, braids and coloring. Students also do waxing, perms and nails. Customers can call the living room at 203-496-5398 to make an appointment; all students are supervised by the university in the hall of elegance.
Dean of Students Stephanie Seitlinger said it’s for all teachers that their students have positive fun at OWTS.
“We have a wonderful organization here, and they work very hard, so we need to make sure they get the enjoyment we can give them,” he said. “The teachers we have are very committed to what we need to achieve. “
