Raeann Gilbert, a graduate last year from the Bloomfield Adult Education program, has received the GED Graduate of the Year Award from the GED Testing Service, in Washington, DC.
The award is bestowed to a GED graduate in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut who has displayed exceptional resilience in achieving their academic credential. Gilbert initially delayed her education journey as she struggled to raise a child diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. She was presented with a $1,000 scholarship, at the GED Annual Conference July 19 in New York City. The scholarship money will assist her with Phlebotomy-technician training, beginning this month.
Registration for this fall’s Bloomfield Adult Education program is in-person Aug. 29-30, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at Carmen Arace Middle School. Classes started at Carmen Arace Middle School Sept. 5
