💙 Spreading Joy, One Plush at a Time! 🧸✨
Students in our Early Education program chose a heartwarming community service project to support the young patients at Boston Children's Hospital. They lovingly stuffed plush animals and created adoption certificates, ensuring that each child receives a special, cuddly friend.
Erynne Sawyer, a 9th-grade student, shared, "The best feeling is spreading kindness. I hope that the children who receive these feel a sense of warmth and joy from the love that we put into the stuffed animals."
A small gesture with a big impact—help us celebrate these incredible students and their kindness! 💖👏

It's the week of the Wainwright family ! Today we feature Alumni All-Star: Adam Wainwright!
Adam Wainwright, a proud graduate of Tri-County’s Electronics program in 1994, has built an impressive career in IT. After high school, he continued his education by earning a certificate in Microsoft Networking from BU CEC and completed his MCSE certification in 1999. Today, he serves as the IT Support and Security Lead for the Americas at Nelipak Healthcare Packaging.
One of Adam’s favorite high school memories was during his senior year when his physics teacher invited him and a few classmates to play pool at a local pool hall. The experience was both enjoyable and educational, as the teacher used the game to demonstrate physics principles in a fun, hands-on way.
During high school, Adam also discovered his passion for IT while helping a friend repair the computers in the food trades program. That same friend later helped him land his first job in the industry.
Reflecting on his time at Tri-County, Adam credits the hands-on experience he gained with giving him the confidence to succeed in the workforce. His co-op job provided valuable real-world experience, helping him develop the skills necessary to thrive in a professional environment.
Adam’s advice to current high school students:
"Sign up for as much as you can. The more things you get involved in, the more fun high school will be!"
Alumni All Star Tom Wainright! Tom is a 1993 graduate of the Electronics program!
He continued his education at CCRI and UMass Lowell. Tom comes from a family of Tri-County Alumni, and we will be posting his family all week! He is currently working for IPG photonics laser manufacturer as a repair technician in the service department.
Tom’s favorite memories from high school were the VICA (now SkillsUSA) competition weekends and his senior year working on co-op because it offered him the opportunity to learn more about his trade and get paid. He also liked the free lunch at Gerry’s place when you made the honor roll!
Tom was vice president of the national honor society; that year they completed the 20-mile walk for hunger as a service project for the honor society. It was the second class to be inducted.
The skills and knowledge he learned at Tri-County has contributed to his success in many ways, including working with lasers at his current job. He troubleshoots and repairs lasers both optically and electrically. He says he couldn’t do that without the hands on education from Tri-County.
Tom’s advice to current students: “Work hard, but enjoy every moment, it goes so fast.”
