Pennichuck Middle School Students Learn How to Make Engraved Gift Pens
for Our Military Men and Women Overseas

Concord, NH, December 21, 2006 - At this special time of holiday giving, Pennichuck Middle School students of Nashua, NH are applying their learning towards making stylish, fine quality wood-turned, engraved pens, which will be sent to our troops overseas.

Led by their Technology Education Teacher, Thomas Prive, the students are supplied with ¾” blocks of quality wood, such as Rosewood, along with a pen assembly kit, which includes the ink and hardware. Using a lathe, the students turn the wood, then sand, finish, and assemble the pens. To further enhance the quality of the pen, Technology Education Concepts, Inc. welcomed Mr. Prive to their location in Concord, NH to use a LaserPro® Laser Engraver. Each of the pens were engraved with “Serving with Honor” and “Pennichuck M.S. Nashua, NH.” The finished result is a handsome pen that Pennichuck students are proud to give to our troops.

Thomas Prive, Nashua’s Technology Education Teacher, was selected to receive the 2005-06 “Technology Education Teacher of the Year” and “Technology Education – Program Excellence” awards given by the NH Technology Education Association at the New Hampshire Excellence in Education (‘ED’ies) Awards.

Richard Amarosa, President of Technology Education Concepts, Inc., states, “TEC enjoyed the opportunity to work with Mr. Prive to incorporate hands-on Laser Technologies into his classroom curriculum. He has allowed his students to experience the real-world benefits and opportunities of Laser Technologies.”
