We had the best time on Wednesday, October 15 seeing old friends and making new ones at VACTEA, the annual gathering of CTE directors from across Virginia.
At the conference in Harrisonburg, we mingled with administrators who provide Rubin in their classrooms (like Prince William County and Alexandria, pictured) and shared our information with potential new customers.
We are also proud to sponsor (for the second year in a row) a trivia night competition!
