BVT to Dedicate its Restaurant to Former Teacher
Oct 28, 2016 03:35PM ● By Pamela Johnson
The Blackstone Valley Tech Culinary Arts Alumni will host a dedication ceremony in honor of Mr. Edward Bracebridge, more commonly known as “Mr. B,” on Saturday, October 29.
The student-run Three Seasons Restaurant will be dedicated to Bracebridge during the open house event. Bracebridge began working at BVT in 1975 as the first instructor within the system’s culinary arts program. At the time, the shop itself was not completed and Bracebridge taught students out of the cafeteria.
During his 29 years at BVT, Bracebridge became known for teaching life lessons just as easily as he taught culinary skills. He was a mentor and confidant to many students in addition to serving as their teacher before retiring in 2004.
The BVT Culinary Alumni’s open house style event, complete with hors d’oeuvres, includes a dedication of the Three Seasons Restaurant to the former educator. The event will be Saturday, October 29 from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Any questions can be directed to Kathleen Manoogian at [email protected] or Dawn Dubois (Haigis) at 508-529-7758 ext. 2143.
