PAWTUCKET – With major
renovations and reconstructions
at four local schools taking place
over the next several years, a pro-
posed internship-style program will
allow students the opportunity for
hands-on training in different trades
including plumbing, electrical, archi-
tectural, and more.
School Committee Chairman Jay
Charbonneau told The Breeze last
week that with a partnership with
Rhode Island Student Advocates,
the construction at Henry J. Winters
Elementary School, as well as
future projects at Shea High School,
Baldwin Elementary School, and
Tolman High School, will include
a program for "students who want
to learn a valuable trade," he said.
"That's an exciting piece."
Construction of the new Winters
Elementary School on Broadway
is slated to begin in the next few
weeks, according to Charbonneau,

a platform to be installed with a ramp to make access easier for people who will soon be getting their COVID-19 vaccine
at St. Anthony's Church in Pawtucket. DPW employees cut the pieces at the DPW garage on Monday and were planning to
install the ramp at the church on Tuesday.
