Thanks to the incredible generosity of the McKinley Educational Initiative, your donations were doubled, when a check for $5,000 was provided to support the students participating in SkillsUSA programs at MetroED. Above is a picture of Tim McKinley at the 2022 MetroED Car Show presenting the check to Peter Vrabel, President of the MetroED Foundation, with Alyssa Lynch, MetroED Superintendent, looking on. The Car Show also raised thousands of additional dollars in direct funds to MetroED to support SkillsUSA students. If you missed the Car Show, make sure you plan to attend in May of 2023, and have some fun while supporting MetroED.
As a result of this generosity, MetroED students from five different high schools and one young adult, representing four different categories of competition, were able to go to the National Leadership & Skills Conference held in person in Atlanta, GA June 20-24, 2022. The students were accompanied by SVCTE faculty - SkillsUSA advisor Mr. Chukes (Autobody Refinishing) and faculty chaperone, Ms. Fleming (Dental Assisting). At this challenging national level, the quality of education at MetroED continued to shine as Isabella Johnson of Leland High School in the San Jose Unified School District won silver in Dental Assisting! Congratulations to her and her instructor, Ms. Fleming! Thank you, donors, for making this possible!
