Here are a few of the highlights in CTE at WMS and WHS over the past month:
Business/Marketing
FBLA Update:
This year's FBLA SW Regional Conference was a success! Even with all the snow days making it difficult to plan and finalize the conference, many judges and advisers stated that this was the best ran SW Regional Conference yet! A total of nine Woodland students placed at regionals an d will be competing at State in April.
FBLA is also partnering with Mark Landry, a sales representative of Maschmedt & Associates. Students are working with the company to create a social media campaign for their outdoor products.
Marketing Update:
Students are wrapping up their advertising unit and will be touring Wieden + Kennedy Advertising Agency in Portland. They will be relating all content learned in class to real-world examples as well as hear and learn from industry professionals.
Financial Fitness Update:
Students are currently focusing on taxes. Even though many turn to financial services to complete their taxes, it is still important for out students to understand why they are being taxed and how taxes are being calculated. Students are currently completing 1040EZ forms as well as 1040A forms.
Computer Applications Update:
Below you will find the total certifications for PowerPoint, Word, and Excel:
PowerPoint Certifications: 18

Medical Science/Biology
Mrs. Warndahl’s HOSA blood drive was a resounding success! Even though it was a late start..we exceeded our goal of 47 pints with 56pints. The students in HOSA were fabulous in running this and our student body was terrific in showing up with wonderful attitudes!
Family and Consumer Science Education

WMS Horticulture
WMS Horticulture has begun the process to construct a 3500 sq ft community garden on campus. This will be run by our new garden club. We are in need of free wood chips. If any one knows a tree service that can drop off their wood chips we would put them to good use.
The garden club had its first meeting with 25 potential members present.
Hydroponics is 70% completed and we hope to be up and running by spring break.
WMS Computer Programming/Lego Robotics
Mr. Britt’s WMS LEGO team is trying to pull everything together for our upcoming State Championship on March 4th. Some last minute changes to the robot trying and gain an extra 40 points is the team strategy. The team is thinking they need 100 points in the Robot competition to place in the top 75%. Put that together with a strong showing in the other categories may place them somewhere in the top 4 teams.
