Melfe's donates gift certificates to CVA CTE students

For the fourth consecutive year, Melfe's Shoes of Mohawk has given Melfe's gift certificates to every CVA student attending specific BOCES Career and Technical Education programs. The certificates will help offset the cost of work boots and clothing students need for their programs.

"Melfe's continues to support our students in a very meaningful way," said CVA Principal Dick Keeler. "High quality boots and clothing are expensive, often beyond a student's ability to pay for them. This will ensure that all of our students in these programs will be able to purchase what they need to protect themselves from the weather and workplace hazards. We cannot thank Melfe's enough."

Forty-eight students in the following CTE programs received certificates:

• Advanced Manufacturing I and II
• Automotive Technology I and II
• Building Construction I and II
• Conservation I and II
• Heavy Equipment Operating I and II
• Outdoor Power Equipment I and II
• Welding and Metal Fabrication I and II
