There was something for everyone in the bustling exhibit hall where conference-goers learned about the diverse student projects and programs underway in more than two dozen career and technical education high schools citywide. They even could have their blood pressure measured and their eyeglasses repaired by some of the 300 students who took part.

And there was plenty of food on offer to satisfy a sweet tooth or a calorie counter. George Westinghouse HS culinary teacher Michelle Williams attributed the variety and popularity of so many food stations in the hall to the growing interest in “the many careers open to our students in the food industry.”

She and colleague Niki Rosenthal kept a watchful eye as their student assembly line turned out samples of Southwestern scrambled eggs. Long Island City HS students watched as the 1,000 miniature cranberry scones, blueberry muffins and pecan diamonds they had baked disappeared.

Paraprofessional Dolores Battey of PS/IS 127 in East Elmhurst, Queens, said she welcomed the trend to healthy eating as she watched the Food and Finance HS students deftly dice and skewer cheddar cheese with melon pieces and strawberries to create kabobs.

Hillcrest HS nurse/teacher Ann Utke kept conference participants in line to have their blood pressure checked or to learn a few muscle exercises to maintain flexibility.

Co-op Tech cosmetology students sent happy clients on their way with the latest hairstyles, while parent activist Leila Oneill of PS 35 in Concourse Village smiled at her 3rd-grade daughter’s delight in the fancy nails created at the McKee HS nail salon in the exhibit hall.
