Our 6th graders are putting their leadership and teamwork skills to the test as they build and run their own companies! Students are divided into four departments Executives, Finance, Sales/Marketing, and Operations.
Executives were interviewed and hired by the instructor, and now it’s their turn to interview and hire their own team members.
Here you can see our 6th grade executives in action, hiring co-workers and preparing to launch their businesses!

Congratulations to our Introduction to Technology who successfully passed their leak tests after designing, cutting, and fabricating metal boxes using the plasma cutter, then welding them to make sure they were leak-proof.
Amazing job to our future makers, builders, and engineers, your hard work is paying off!

Students in our Industrial Electrical Principles class (a CVTC Dual-Credit course) have been diving into real-world electrical skills!
This week they learned:
How 3-phase power works
How to wire motor starters
How overload protection keeps equipment safe
Hands-on practice using Amatrol industrial training simulators
After mastering the fundamentals, they put their knowledge to work in a real-life engineering design challenge — building an automatic chicken coop door that opens and closes using an Arduino microcontroller and photo-controls.
Nothing beats learning by doing! Proud of these future electricians, technicians, engineers, and automation specialists!

A few FFA members, along with Ag teacher Ms. Hayden, visited the elementary to extend 3rd grade’s learning about plant traits. Students explored how unique traits help plants survive in their habitats — then put their knowledge to work by designing their own plants with special features to help them thrive! 🌱💡

Honoring Our Veterans
In Guidance and Art classes, students created special Veterans Day pictures that will be shared with local Veterans. Two additional care packages were also sent to the Tomah and Minneapolis VA Hospitals to be placed on lunch trays for hospitalized Veterans. ❤️🤍💙
This project is supported by a Guidance Department grant that supports community service projects throughout the year. Students have already spread kindness through the Kindness Rock Project and by decorating grocery bags for Stockman’s during Red Ribbon Week. Decorated coffee sleeves for The Nickel are coming soon! ☕️
