Even though spring hasn’t officially arrived just yet, our high school art students helped us get ready for the season. Yesterday, they brightened the cafeteria by painting the windows with cheerful, spring‑inspired designs. From early blooms to vibrant seasonal scenes, their artwork brings a warm hint of what’s to come.
A big thank‑you to our talented student artists for sharing their creativity. Be sure to stop by the cafeteria to enjoy their work! 🪻🌸

Students in Mrs. Becker's Office Applications class recently built a "Lucky Charms Database" to store information about the types of charms found in a bag of Lucky Charms cereal. With the help of their student teachers, Miss Andrews and Mr. Chapman, students used Microsoft Access to set up and enter data in a database, query that data, and summarize their findings. Some of the characteristics students recorded included the shape of the charm, its primary and secondary color, size, quantity in bag and taste. Students then enjoyed a St. Patrick's Day snack at the end of class.🍀

The Brighter Financial Futures Foundation Investing and Budgeting Challenges, sponsored locally by the Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce Foundation, provides students with a hands-on, experiential learning opportunity that strengthens real-world financial decision-making skills. Students apply math, economics, and critical thinking as they manage a virtual budget, respond to life scenarios, and invest in the stock market using real market data. These challenges support classroom instruction while reinforcing skills across the curriculum, including problem-solving, goal setting, and responsible decision-making.

Last week, our Horticulture Agriculture class visited the elementary school to teach students about soil and its importance. High school students applied their classroom learning by creating original children’s books on the topic, which they then used to lead interactive lessons. They presented their work to Mrs. Habowski’s 2nd grade class, helping younger students engage with science in a creative and meaningful way.
We are proud of their preparation, leadership, and commitment to agricultural education.

Yesterday, our Farm to Table and Ag Science I students explored the differences between several animal breeds through hands-on observation. Chickens, bunnies, a barn cat, and goats all made an appearance and helped bring the lesson to life.
Experiences like this build real-world agricultural understanding and give students authentic connections to the concepts they learn in class. Thank you to Andrews Acres for providing the animals for this activity! 🐓 🐐

Last week, students in Agricultural Science II suited up in proper safety gear and got to work in the shop. They learned and applied essential safety procedures while practicing MIG welding on real projects. With each weld, they gained practical skill, confidence using the equipment, and a clear understanding of what it takes to work responsibly in an ag mechanics setting.
