Dear Alumni, family, and
friends of the Blue Hills Regional School,
Adopt-A-Shop, (AAS) is
beginning its 4th year of fundraising for the students, shops
and programs at Blue Hills Regional Technical School. With 3 very
successful years behind us, we look forward to our 4th!
AAS is conducting the
first half of our semi-annual fundraising campaign. With your tax
deductible donations, Adopt-A-Shop is able to help with the purchase of
tools and equipment for your child’s technical education at Blue Hills.
AAS is run by a group of
volunteers made up of BHR alumni, parents, faculty, and staff. As you
know schools today are faced with tough budget guidelines. Blue Hills is
no exception. We encourage your donations of cash, new equipment, and
supplies for the shops and programs at Blue Hills. Please consider a
modest donation to the shop or program of your choice, or to our general
fund which helps us continue to operate our volunteer fundraising
program.
As a 1975 graduate of the
Blue Hills Regional Technical School I want to thank you for your
continued support. A lot has changed since I attended Blue Hills, but
one thing remains the same, every child will get the best possible
academic and technical education possible. The Adopt-a-Shop Team is
proud to be a part of it.

and send it today . Please accept our thanks in advance.
Sincerely,

WELCOME
TO "ADOPT-A-SHOP”
The purpose of the program is to
raise funds and equipment for all of the programs of Blue Hills.
This program provides funding for those items that may not necessarily be
funded through the normal course of the budget process. This allows
Blue Hills to continue to have state of the art equipment and programs,
which ultimately results in a state of the art education for the students.\
Many have supported the Adopt-A-Shop
program. Included in our network of supporters are parents,
faculty, alumni, businesses (both local and national) and trade
organizations. A heartfelt thanks goes out
to all of our supporters. We are so thankful that they understand
the importance of supporting this great school.
If you are not already supporting
this great program then we encourage you to do so. Supporting the
program can be done in various forms. Some examples of support
would be tax-deductible cash/equipment donations, recruiting corporate
sponsorships, supporting our fundraising events, volunteering and
spreading the word about the Adopt-A-Shop program.

TERADYNE
INC. DONATES $2,000
TO BLUE HILLS REGIONAL
Manny Cerqueira, Joanne D’Agostino, and John Boughner in 1983, formerly lived in Holbrook, and is
now an engineering lab manager at Teradyne.
The donation was made through the
school’s Adopt-a-Shop program, which was begun in 2004 to attract
tax-deductible donations of money, equipment and materials to the
vocational programs at Blue Hills. To date, Adopt-a-Shop has
collected thousands of dollars in cash and new equipment. Adopt-a-Shop
founder Gary Titus of Canton,
a Class of 1975 Blue Hills graduate, was instrumental in making the
donation possible.
Teradyne
is a leading supplier of Automatic Test Equipment used to test complex
electronics used in the consumer electronics, automotive, computing,
telecommunications, and aerospace and defense industries. In 2005,
Teradyne had sales of $1.08 billion, and currently employs about 4,000
people worldwide. The company is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol TER.
Several connections exist between
Teradyne and Blue Hills. Some of the school’s alumni have been or
currently are employees there; a new teacher in the Blue Hills
Electronics department, Joanne D’Agostino, worked
at Teradyne; and of course, Boughner himself is
a successful part of the Teradyne workforce. In fact, retired Blue
Hills Electronics department head George Driscoll helped Boughner get his job at Teradyne back in 1982.
Blue Hills Superintendent-Director Joseph
A. Ciccolo said, “Graduate John Boughner never forgot the institution that gave him a
start with his career. His first co-op job brought him to Teradyne,
where he has been for 23 years. He came back as a coach when that
was all he had to offer and give back to future BHR grads. Today he
came with money to help the program of electronics that trained him so
well. I know it is not the last time we will benefit from the
efforts of this outstanding graduate.”
Blue Hills Electronics Lead Teacher
Manuel Cerqueira said the Teradyne donation
will likely be used for three purposes – the school’s electronic race
car; robotics; and test equipment. Cerqueira
expressed his gratitude to Boughner and
Teradyne for the generous donation, saying, “Thank you greatly for
supporting our program and our school. It’s sponsors like you that
really help us make our program come alive.”
Boughner hopes that other
companies will follow Teradyne’s example and support Blue Hills and
vocational education. “These students will be out in the workforce
and be major contributors to the success of the corporate world,” he
explained. “We’re happy to support vocational technical education,
and we encourage other companies to follow suit.”

Thanks to the Nearen family of Randolph
for donating a $3000 hospital bed.
A huge thanks to Marybeth Nearen and family for the recent donation of a new
hospital bed to the health occupation shop. Please take a look at the
students sitting on their new bed.
"Our Family
hopes that there will be many years of training practiced on this bed. My
father is 83 years old and set in his ways, there was no way he was going
to sleep in “that” bed, even though it was for the better.
We are happy it is being put to good use. I will show him this photo. I
know he will be happier that it is at Blue Hills and not at his house any
longer.
Thanks for helping me make him pleased because you know that makes me
happy!"
Marybeth Nearen And Sigmund (Ziggy) Ostrowski
