Thank you to all of our veterans, especially those in our Osseo-Fairchild community and the families who support them. ❤️🤍💙

A little creativity, collaboration, and cultural learning! 💀🌼
Students across all levels of Mrs. Velasquez’s Spanish classes came together last week to create a beautiful bulletin board ofrenda in recognition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Hispanic tradition that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away.
Each class contributed something special to bring the display to life!
💀 Spanish 1 students created their own alebrijes (colorful companion creatures) and decorated sugar skulls.
🌼 Spanish 3/4 students crafted marigolds, an important symbol of Día de los Muertos, created traditional Mexican papel picado decorations, and selected late celebrities to honor on the ofrenda.

From Summer Classes to Careers in Advanced Manufacturing!
The Osseo-Fairchild Youth Apprenticeship Program provides students with an opportunity to take their education beyond the classroom and gain hands-on experience in advanced manufacturing.
For Logan and Henry, that journey began at the end of their 8th-grade year!
The OF Tech Education Center offers summer classes for credit, specifically designed to give younger students an opportunity to complete prerequisites early and open the door to more advanced coursework during their high school years.
Both Logan and Henry took advantage of this opportunity by completing summer classes in Machining and Welding. Those early experiences allowed them to move into Machining II sooner, further developing their skills and sparking an interest in careers in manufacturing.
Now, as juniors, both students are putting their skills and interests to work through Youth Apprenticeships at Osseo Precision Machine, where they are gaining valuable, real-world experience in the machining industry.
This is what career-connected education is all about: starting early, creating opportunities, developing skills, and helping students turn interests into career pathways!
