AWS and BCCC Celebrate Conclusion of Unique Four-Week Training Program

 Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Bucks County Community College (BCCC) honored 19 students who completed four weeks of paid pre-apprenticeship training on Friday, April 24. The training – the first of its kind in Pennsylvania – was designed to prepare the workforce needed for the construction and operation of data centers and other information technology infrastructure. After the graduation ceremony at the College’s Center for Advanced Technologies, located at the Gene and Marlene Epstein Campus at Lower Bucks, the students networked with potential employers at a job fair.

He stressed the value of BCCC and the connections it brings. “Tell everyone you know these opportunities exist,” he said. “Call your community college. They are the best resource for connecting teaching and learning and then finding employers to get people into these industries.” (PHOTO CREDIT: Eric Parker, BCCC) Shan Bercaw (at podium), director of workforce programs at Bucks County Community College, addresses graduates and their families at the conclusion of a four-week training program in partnership with Amazon Web Services.

Windgate Foundation Challenge Grant for Mobile Glassblowing Unit

 Bucks County Community College has received a major grant award from the Windgate Foundation to support the launch of the Bucks Fire Wagon, a portable glassblowing unit that will bring hot glass education and public arts experiences to students and communities throughout the region. The award includes a $70,000 challenge grant for the Fire Wagon. To receive those funds, Bucks must raise an equal $70,000 in qualified gifts and pledges by December 31. The Bucks Fire Wagon is designed to continue the College’s glassblowing tradition in a more flexible and accessible format. Bucks has offered glassblowing courses for several decades, and this mobile model will allow the College to revive that legacy while reaching beyond a traditional studio setting. The Fire Wagon will support college coursework, expand opportunities for middle and high school students through community and dual-enrollment partnerships, and bring glass arts to festivals, events, and broader public audiences. The project also reflects a more sustainable approach to glass education. The shift to a mobile furnace and annealer, along with the use of recycled glass, will reduce environmental impact while broadening educational reach. “Support from the Windgate Foundation gives Bucks an extraordinary opportunity to preserve and reimagine our glassblowing program for a new generation,” said Dr. Carolina Blatt, Dean of the School of Visual and Performing Arts at Bucks. “Now we are asking our community to help us meet this challenge and bring the Bucks Fire Wagon fully to life.” Bucks is inviting alumni, arts supporters, families, community members, and friends of the College to help meet the match. Every eligible gift will move the College closer to unlocking the full Windgate challenge and making this portable glassblowing studio a reality. The Fire Wagon is a tool for education, outreach, and long-term community engagement. In addition to serving Bucks students, it is intended to introduce more young people and community members to the art of glassblowing and strengthen the College’s role as an accessible hub for arts education in the region. Donors should note that, under Windgate’s grant terms, in-kind contributions, income from sales of items or services, and event or raffle ticket sales do not count toward the required match.

Those interested in supporting the Bucks Fire Wagon challenge, may also contact the Bucks County Community College Foundation at foundation@bucks.edu.
High School Short Fiction Winners

Pennsbury Sophomore Named Top High School Fiction Writer

 The Bucks County Short Fiction Contest for High-School students is pleased to announce the winners for the Spring 2026 contest. Sara Templeton of Yardley, a tenth-grader at Pennsbury High School, placed first for “The Boy Who Painted the Sunset.” Jason Marks of Sellersville, a tenth-grader at Pennridge High School, placed second for “The Grave.” Sarah Lueck of Doylestown, a senior at Central Bucks West High School, placed third for “Echoes and Revelations.” There were 50 entries in this year’s contest. Dr. Ellen Pratofiorito, a faculty member at Bucks County Community College, made the final selections. Of Templeton’s story, Pratofiorito said, “With sensitivity and nuance, the writer addresses the value, and the limitations, of art in the difficult life of one boy as he is growing up. Starting with a rich description of a sunset, the writer bravely sets art alongside the life problems which art cannot solve, though we see at the same time, through the main character, that art may help us survive, and maybe even hope to thrive." The final judge commented on Marks’ story by saying, “This story captures the dialogue, tone of voice, and thought patterns of its main characters, primarily a group of teenage boys, in a way that is engaging and believable. The writer manages what begins as light and even humorous dialogue to turn to some of the darker and more existential questions and threats troubling us all—about isolation, loneliness, and self-doubt.” Lueck’s story “explores the grief and trauma of an accident which causes the loss of sight for the main character,” wrote the judge. “The story works through the slow progress towards acceptance and even perhaps moments of unexpected appreciation in the new life thrust onto the narrator, who, in an unusual choice, turns out not to be a human first-person narrator, but a dragon.” The winners will be honored at a celebration at 7 p.m., Wednesday. April 22, in Tyler Hall on the Newtown Campus. Bucks County Community College’s Newtown Campus is located at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, Pa., 18940.
