The Foods 1 and FCCLA members attended Mitchell Techincal College today. They went on a campus tour and then had an in-depth look into the culinary arts program. Some students quotes: “I learned so much from Chef Tim about the Culinary Arts program and how it requires much more math. Also, use mitts, and don’t drop your soup”. Another student said, “This tour gave me excitement about my future; I plan to attend Mitchell Tech next fall.”
The FCS class is grateful to those who gave such an opportunity to these students.
Our eighth grade students are diving into SDMyLife, exploring career interests and building their future goals as they prepare for the exciting JA Inspire event! It's a hands-on opportunity for them to connect their passions with real-world career possibilities. We can't wait to see how these young minds engage with professionals and get inspired for what's ahead!
Today we had the opportunity to celebrate the Veterans in the Humboldt community. The program was put together by 4th and 5th Grade Student Council members. The gym was full of students and families in the community who took time to honor present and past military members. Thank you, Veterans!
