The Loren Craig Success Story
My name is Loren and I am a graduate of Brewster's Medical Administrative program. I selected Brewster for my education for many reasons, one being the support and individual guidance I received from the moment I walked thru their door.
I became homeless two years ago due to domestic violence. I was an uneducated, single mother living in a homeless shelter with my small child. I realized that in order for me to support him and myself, I needed to learn a trade. I enrolled in the Medical Administrative program in the spring of 2010 and graduated this summer with the recognition of being a member of the National Technical Honor Society.
The training I received at Brewster not only allowed me to feel confident about entering the work force, but also gave me the opportunity to increase my earning potential. I have obtained employment in as an administrative assistant at a decent wage with benefits. I will now be able to move out of the shelter and support myself and my child. I have gained confidence and esteem and plan to continue my education.

Brewster Ballers 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament
On Thursday, April 21, over 30 BTC students competed in our third Brewster-Ballers 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. The tourney, comprised of eight teams from our technical, GED and high school credit programs, was a win-or-go-home challenge in order to decide who would claim the "Baller's Cup". After an intense playoff, the 2011 championship was claimed by The Bad Boyz, representing Mr. Neibel's Machine Repair Technician program.
We thank Steve Guillen of Horace Mann Insurance for sponsoring this intramural event. We would also like to thank Mr. Chavous and Mr. Lanier for refereeing the tournament. Finally, thanks to the many students and teachers that showed up to cheer our teams on!
