Graduate inducted into OAASIS The Sussex Tech Adult Division announces that one of its graduates, Jessica Bennett of Seaford, has been named to the OAASIS Hall of Fame. Jessica is a 2000 graduate of the James H. Groves Adult High School. The Organization of Adult Alumni and Students in Service is an organization composed of alumni and students from adult education programs throughout the State of Delaware. Its mission is to link students and alumni to individuals and organizations involved in adult and community education. Bennett’s natural ability to encourage others and make them feel at ease led to her becoming the Sussex Tech Groves OASSIS worker following her graduation. According to Principal Terri Corder, staff at the Sussex Center relied on Jessica to relate to students to get them to put forth their best effort. Her sense of humor could always get a smile from even the most discouraged student.
Bennett held this position for seven years, while working and raising two sons, before becoming an instructional paraprofessional at the Positive Outcomes Charter School in Camden. She now holds an administrative support position at the charter school. In 2005, Bennett was a keynote speaker at the statewide OAASIS Student Conference. She bravely shared her educational journey, including the obstacles she has had to overcome. At the end of sharing her story, an audience of more than 200 people gave her a standing ovation. Also at the Second Joint Summit of the Delaware Association for Adult and Community Education held on March 27, several James H. Groves students received awards as 2010 OAASIS Outstanding Students. Honorees included Lisa M. Henderson of Millsboro, Tradina Snead of Bridgeville, Elena Vasquez of Seaford and Juan Carlos Villacorta of Millsboro.
LEGISLATORS HOST EDUCATORS - Staff and student representatives from Sussex Tech Adult Education were invited to join other statewide adult educators in participating in the annual Legislative Luncheon in Dover on March 25.

Attending the luncheon were, from left: Javier Limon Aguilera of Millsboro, Kristina Hudson of Seaford, Emily Hatch of Milton and Terrance Nock of Bridgeville.
