TechBoston Academy Students Receive PSA Award

Eight TechBoston Academy high school students and their teacher arrived in style at the Youth Summit and Awards Ceremony on April 30, 2010. The students were treated to a limousine ride to the event at Bridgewater State College because they won first place in a PSA (Public Service Announcement) Contest sponsored by MARC, the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center.

TBA's 2-minute submission entitled, "Keep it Social", was the runaway favorite, earning kudos from everyone who attended the awards ceremony on Friday, April 30th. The goal of the PSA contest was to raise awareness about various forms of cyberbullying and improve other teenagers, attitudes around the issues of aggression and bullting in school.

The students are pictured here along with their teacher, Mr. Robin Citrin, and Dr. Elizabeth Englander, MARC founder/director and a professor of Psychology at Bridgewater State College.
