We are pleased to have Caroline working with us on Thursdays, where she helps with everything from studio shows to after school programming to working on our social media. She comes to us from the Audio Video Production program at River Valley Technical Center (RVTC). Another fun fact: Rebekah and BOTH Sarahs are alumni of the RVTC Audio-Video program, which is led by Mr. Zachary McNaughton, a former Board member of Okemo Valley TV.
