🌼 Horticulture Students Help Beautify Framingham 🌼

On June 3, Keefe Tech Horticulture & Landscape Management students partnered with members of the Framingham Garden Club to help tend city gardens throughout the community.

Students worked alongside volunteers to divide perennials and remove weeds, helping prepare garden spaces for a beautiful season of blooms ahead.

This collaboration provided valuable hands-on experience while giving students the opportunity to contribute to projects that enhance the beauty of the Framingham community. 🌿

Thank you to the Framingham Garden Club for partnering with our students on another meaningful community project!

⚾ Horticulture at Polar Park ⚾

On June 1, Keefe Tech's Horticulture & Landscape Management students traveled to Polar Park in Worcester for a behind-the-scenes look at professional sports field management.

Students met with WooSox Head Groundskeeper Ryan Lefler, who provided an incredible tour of the facility and shared insight into the work that goes into maintaining a professional baseball field. From mowing and aeration to fertilization, turf management, and pitching mound maintenance, students had the opportunity to see industry practices and equipment up close.

Experiences like this give students valuable exposure to career opportunities within the horticulture and landscape industry while connecting classroom learning to real-world applications.

A big thank you to Ryan Lefler, Polar Park, and the Worcester Red Sox for an unforgettable experience. We look forward to future collaborations! 🧡💙

🎓 Career Day at Wilson Middle School 🎓

On June 9, Keefe Tech visited Wilson Middle School in Natick for Career Day, bringing hands-on insight from four of our programs: Cosmetology, Dental, Carpentry, and Electrical.

Students learned about different career pathways directly from program representatives, who shared an overview of their field, personal education and training journeys, and key lessons learned along the way.

It was a great opportunity to help students explore future possibilities and see how different skills and interests can lead to meaningful careers. 🧡💙

Thank you to Wilson Middle School for having us!

🍽️ A Recipe for History 🍽️

A recipe developed by Chef Antonio Matarese and students in Keefe Tech’s Culinary Arts program for the Town of Framingham’s anniversary celebration is now being included in the community time capsule that will be interred this month!

What an incredible honor to have the work of our students and staff become part of Framingham’s history. This special recognition highlights the creativity, talent, and collaboration that make experiences like this possible.

Years from now, when the time capsule is opened, this recipe will serve as a lasting reminder of the Keefe Tech community’s contribution to a memorable chapter in the city’s story.

Congratulations to Chef Matarese and our Culinary Arts students on this unique achievement! 🧡💙
