Here is a glimpse into what’s happening in the CTE programs at WMS and WHS:
Joe Bosch’s WMS Horticulture Class just finished the first round of hydroponics. They have tomatoes and cucumbers growing for the food bank. Indoor Garden Supply is donating about $2000 worth of additional equipment and supplies.
In Wayne Miller’s classes, the auto maintenance class finished putting together the F150 and it starts, runs, and drives. They also fixed some electrical issues on the F150 (re-soldered the circuit board for the temperature and compass display, cleaned corrosion off of the contacts for the power mirrors, and replaced dash light bulbs). The welding classes have been practicing different types of welds.
Nalean Warndahl’s HOSA club had 11 students test to see if they can get to state in Spokane on March 15-17. They tested in CPR/First Aid, Medical Terminology, Nursing Assisting, Veterinary Sciences and Medical Reading. We won't find out until the 10th if they qualify. They just finished Body Systems in Med. Science and will be dissecting rats this week to see what our organs look like for real! The kids are excited.
Britt Jud’s CTE Alice and Robotics classes are building Robots and first worlds getting students used to the programming environments they will be using this semester. Students are eager to begin using the equipment solving engineering challenges. This is a fun time for the class since there is a built-in hook of having a Robot/ World they just built and having so many ideas of what they want to do with them. So many great questions they come up with.
Kim Miller’s SkillsUSA students are done with their regional competitions. Students did very well (results are at the bottom of the page). The invitations for State will be published soon (being on the State Board, I've had a sneak peak). 18 of the SkillsUSA students will be eligible to compete at State in Yakima on April 19-21.
Culinary students are busy preparing for caterings on February 23, March 1st and March 9th. The events range from a breakfast, hors-d'oeuvres, to a formal dessert.
Early Childhood Ed students are in hot demand for extracurricular events. They will be working at Woodland Middle School Pride Night, planning and directing activities with the younger children. They will also be working with Leslie Mohlman every Wednesday evening, April, 11th through May 16th during the Parenting classes. They will have children of various ages.
