PLYMOUTH, MA…

Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, decided somebody was going to be a winner at the “Win a Free Car” night at the Plymouth Pilgrims last week. So when the fan selected to try and win a 2013 Silverado came up short in his effort to hit a ball off a tee out of the park, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac donated $500 to the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club.

“It would have been great to give away a brand new truck but for somebody who’s not an active baseball player hitting a ball off a tee is hard enough without having to drive it more than 300 feet to get it out of the park,” said Tracy. “We decided somebody was going to walk out of the park with something and I can’t think of a more worthy cause than the Boys & Girls Club.”

The Plymouth Pilgrims’ Owner Dave Dittman and General Manager Chris Patsos accepted the check on behalf of The Boys & Girls Club. John Fasolino of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac presented the check on behalf of the dealership. Fasolino, who drove the Silverado onto the field for pre-game ceremonies, also had the honor of throwing out the first pitch along with Massasoit Community College’s Charlie Wall.

“The Pilgrims have brought a lot of energy to Plymouth and we’re delighted to be a sponsor and help bring this level of high-caliber of baseball to town. And, if that relationship can help out another local non-profit like the Boys & Girls Club along the way, that’s even better,” added Tracy.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

It’s unlikely too many high school freshmen are familiar with Woody Allen’s famous expression about “80 percent of success is showing up”. Yet for 17 Plymouth South High School freshmen who have yet to miss a day of school, they clearly got the memo. And for their perfect attendance record in the 2012-13 school year, they are the deserving winners of the Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student of the Month Award.

“The transition from middle school to high school can be quite difficult. In many ways, it’s like you’re starting all over after spending a year in eighth grade as the oldest in the school,” said Marc Loranger, assistant vice principal and director of Plymouth South’s freshman academy. “The kids we honored today with the Tracy Driven Student Award are an example for their peers in that the best way to make the transition to high school is to simply be here every day.”

For being chosen as the Driven Students of the Month, the group received a pizza party courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. In addition to pizza and refreshments, each student also received a Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac drink koozie.

“As somebody who hires and manages people, one of the key attributes we look for is dependability,” said Joe Wilkerson, general sales manager at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “These students have shown early on in their high school careers that they understand that just showing up every day is a big deal and that will serve them well in school and in the work force. They are very worthy recipients of our Driven Student Award.”

Students selected for the Driven Student Award include: Andrew Baier, Andrew Bastoni, Heather Brzykoy, Mackenzie Callanan, Quinn Carey, Edward Coombes, Eileen Coughlin, Victoria Delph, Nathan Dupes, Kayle Forgette, Richard Gast, Jr., Brendan Johnson, Spencer Mazzola, Colin Moran, Teagan Ponte, Adrian Rigatuso and Michael Shea.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

A Sunday drive that will save lives. Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hosts blood drive on Sunday, March 10, 11am to 4pm.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

When it comes to donating blood, it’s difficult for many well-intentioned donors to find time in their schedule during the week. With those people in mind, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, located at 137 Samoset Street in Plymouth, will host a blood drive on Sunday, March 10, from 11am to 4pm.

The American Red Cross will conduct the blood drive inside the dealership’s showroom, which is located off Route 3’s exit 6 on the old Route 44. Donors from the general public are welcome to attend. Walk-ins are also welcome. You can make an appointment in advance by calling the Red Cross at 1-800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767)

“With the recent blizzard, it has made it difficult for some people to get out and donate. By holding this drive on a day where many folks aren’t working, we’re hoping to draw enough people to make up for some of that,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “We urge all able bodied Plymouth residents to come out and donate. Donating blood can literally save lives.”

Here are some facts about blood:

  • Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
  • More than 44,000 blood donations are needed every day.
  • A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. (2006).
  • The average red blood cell transfusion is approximately 3 pints.
  • The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.
  • The blood used in an emergency is already on the shelves before the event occurs.
  • Sickle cell disease affects more than 80,000 people in the U.S., 98 percent of whom are African American. Sickle cell patients can require frequent blood transfusions throughout their lives.
  • More than 1 million new people are diagnosed with cancer each year. Many of them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment.
  • A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.

Northern Lights was recognized as the Tracy Driven Students of the Month. The group is led by Dave Grossman, music teacher at Plymouth North.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

For several years, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac conducted a “Driven Student” program recognizing the achievements of local high school students inside and outside the classroom. The Plymouth dealership recently jumpstarted the program, honoring the 20 Plymouth North High School (PNHS) students that make up the a cappella singing group Northern Lights.

Directed by David Grossman, a music teacher in his first full year at Plymouth North, Northern Lights formed at the beginning of the school year and has already performed at the PNHS Pep Rally, Festival of Trees, and PNHS Winter Concert.

“For a group that just started together in September, the kids have come a long way in a very short amount of time,” said Grossman. “That comes from a combination of talent, hard work and being open to teaching. The students in Northern Lights are all that and more and we’re honored that Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac chose us as the opening act for the Driven Student program this year.”

For being chosen as the Driven Students of the Month, the group received a pizza party courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. In addition to pizza and refreshments, each student also received a Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac drink koozie.

Yet it was the attendees who received the real treat as the group performed for Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Sales Manager Joe Wilkerson.

“After that performance, I feel like we should have brought some ice cream, too. They were that good,” said Wilkerson. “Seriously, we’re delighted to bring back the Driven Student program and I can’t think of a better way to kick off than program than this group of students.”

Members of Northern Lights include: Shaelyn Helminiak, Rebecca Levy, Sarah Serrilla, Jaclyn Mennonna, Mackenzie Levangie, Merin English, Maria D’ambrosio, Veronica Cavanaugh, Jordan Brocklesby, Julia McBride, Conor Hurley, Kyle Blagg, Christian Hatfield, Eli Hovey, Shawn Westcott, Danny Osborne and Kevin Johnson.

Plymouth North turns into ‘toyland’ …Plymouth North students win Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac for toy drive effort.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

One would think high school students might be a bit old for toys at Christmas time. But for a select group of Plymouth North High School, toys have been one of their primary focuses with the recent launching of a toy drive for underprivileged children in November. This effort earned this group of students the Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Driven Student of the Month award.

The group of students, comprised of members of a student advisory group, initiated the campaign on November 10. Placing boxes strategically throughout the school, the group encouraged fellow students and teachers to donate new toys. After December 11, the toys will then be donated to Salvation Army, the Plymouth Fire Department and some local churches for distribution.

“In this season of giving, there are so many heartwarming stories of people sharing with those less fortunate. This is definitely one of them,” said Margaret Foley, one of the advisory group teachers. “What makes me most proud of this group of students is that they came up with this idea on their own and sought out the Salvation Army, the Fire Department and other groups that could use this kind of donation.”

For their good deeds, the students were treated to a pizza party, courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac President Jeff Tracy and Sales Manager David Gavin delivered the pizzas and drink koozies as a gift for those attending.

Students taking part in the toy drive include: Haylie Beitel, Katrina Borofski, Adam Chapman, Taylor Cloran, Karmyn DeAngelo, Cody Farragher, Brittany Freeman-Hayden, Kevin Goe, Jessica Gordon, Richard Guevremont, Erik Hansen, Kara Harper, Devin Hood, Patrick Horgan, Bryan Hughes, Rachel McCormack, Jennifer Noviello, Chucky Phachansiri, Michael Pratt, Sarah Schoeneberg, Kim Wallant and Jamie William.

“Part of why Tracy does the Driven Student award is we feel young people do not get enough credit for the positive contributions they make. This group, with their toy drive, is an excellent example. The Driven Student award is just our way to recognizing this accomplishment,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

New teachers at Plymouth North receive Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s “Driven Student” award for September.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Being the new kid at school is never easy. You could make the same case for being the new teacher. In addition to getting to know the students, there’s also meeting new colleagues, getting around a new building, etc. To help that assimilation and welcome them to the school, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac welcomed the 20 teachers new to Plymouth North High School with September’s Driven Student Award.

“To be a teacher takes a special kind of commitment and dedication. Unfortunately, it’s an often under-appreciated occupation. By awarding our ‘Driven Student’ award to the new teachers at Plymouth North, we’re hopefully getting the message across in some small way that teachers, whether you’re new to the school or a long-time faculty member, are appreciated,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

In honor of being selected for the “Driven Student” award, the teachers received a pizza party courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet.

“Teaching is one of the most challenging and demanding careers out there and we wanted to honor those who have chosen education as their passion,” said Kevin Farrell, Freshman Academy Housemaster. “We all [faculty members] were once new to this school and recognizing these individuals is just a nice way to get their Plymouth North careers off to a good start.”

Teachers attending the September’s Driven Student award celebration included: Jeremy Adelmann, Lauren Anderson, Nicholas DiRenzo, Christina Friedmann, Derek Harding, Kevin Hava, Nicole Jalbert, Jonathan Murphy, Amber Roderick, Karen Smith, Jamie Sorge, Meghan Strawn and Jim Wooten. Principal Mary Mortensen and Vice Principal Mary Callahan also attended.

Accompanying Tracy was Dr. Gareth Lynch, chief professional officer of the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club. In addition to welcoming and providing an overview of the Club’s work programs, he shared some stories on how current North students are benefitting from the Boys & Girls Club program.

“As a member of the Boys & Girls Club board of directors, I’ve seen the good work the Club is doing firsthand,” said Tracy. “I was glad to be able to bring Dr. Lynch to the Driven Student ceremony to not only make the new teachers aware of the opportunities out there for their students but to facilitate additional opportunities down the road.”

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac recognizes Plymouth South freshmen.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Last school year, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac honored local high school students for their accomplishments inside and outside the classroom with the monthly Driven Student award. This year’s award program kicked off at Plymouth South High School, with Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac throwing a pizza party for sixteen freshman students selected by their teachers for already showing they’ve got it this early in their high school careers.

Among those treated the students to a pizza party, include: Kayla Callanan, Austin Vico, Bri Corsini, Dan Brandt, Sam Gedutis, Josh Desantis, Emily Richard, Nick Monti, Maura Flaherty, Kenna Andrews, Josh Nelson, Chris Cummings, Bhavjit Thiara, Santiago Narino, Jessica Hawker and Liz Embree.

“Being a freshman in high school is not an easy thing. New school, new teachers and the sheer size of the school can be overwhelming. It says something about these students that they have been able to make the transition successfully and that their teachers felt them worthy of the Driven Student award,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac.

In addition to the pizza party, students also received Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac hats and shirts. Rick McGue, Tracy’s service manager, held an impromptu trivia session in which students also earned prizes.

“We can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac enough for their generosity towards these students. As educators, we try to give recognition as much as possible but it probably doesn’t happen as much as it should. We appreciate Tracy’s Driven Student program because it’s a nice reminder for teachers to take a closer look at the good work our students are doing,” said A.J. Butters, Freshman Academy House Master.
