Our Social Media Marketing students had an incredible field trip to Homewood Suites by Hilton, where they toured the property and learned about hospitality marketing from Director of Sales, Shannon Sostack.

Shannon is not only a leader in the hospitality industry, but also a strong supporter of our program. She serves on the Bridges Foundation, helping support BAVTS seniors, and is a member of our Social Media Marketing Occupational Advisory Committee.

What makes this visit even more special is the connection between Shannon and Ms. Kuehner. Both attended a vocational high school for Marketing and later Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, NC. They’ve stayed in touch over the years and now work together to help guide and inspire the next generation of marketing professionals through tours, mentorship, and speaking opportunities.

Shannon has even hired one of Ms. Kuehner’s former students, Isiah, for a co-op position. He still works with her today while attending NCCC and continuing to grow in the hospitality field.

To top off the visit, Shannon surprised everyone by announcing that Ellyanna Cooper, a Saucon Valley senior and current SMM student, was selected for the position she recently interviewed for! She will graduate with a career in hospitality already underway.

This is what it’s all about — a true full-circle moment.

Congratulations to Ellyanna, and a huge thank you to Shannon for being such an important part of shaping the next generation.

Something amazing is happening at BAVTS! 💙

Our Mental Health & Behavioral Science instructor, Mrs. Herman, launched the Aevidum Club this year, and students from programs all across the school are joining in.

On the first Friday of every month, members come together to connect, team build, and learn about mental health—creating a supportive community where everyone knows they’re not alone.

Students from the Health Careers, Mechatronics, Electronics, Masonry, Carpentry, and Building Trades programs recently visited Pennsylvania College of Technology to explore its academic offerings and learn more about the admissions process.

During the trip, students had the opportunity to tour facilities, meet with faculty, and gain insight into potential career pathways. All participating programs are part of a dual enrollment partnership with Penn College, which allows students to earn college credits during their instructional time at BAVTS.

From concept to neon glow ✨

Last school year, our Social Media Marketing students led a school-wide focus group of staff and students to name our brand-new school store, "The Hive."

Thanks to Gary Gower, Jr. of G&L’s Sign Factory, our Graphic Communications and Commercial Arts students were invited to design the official store sign. One student’s design was selected and brought to life through hands-on assembly right in our Graphics classroom.

Congratulations to Saleema Dale, 11th-grade NHS Commercial Art student, whose design was chosen! Thank you to all of the students who created beautiful art and put themselves out there! All of the designs were amazing.

Soon, this sign will light up the store—a bold reminder that creativity, skill, and opportunity shine here.
