Applied Skills

Before we begin a new set of Applied Skills classes I want to thank all of the volunteers who taught classes for first trimester.  

Thank you to Mrs. Plucknett for sharing her skills in "The Game of Life".  She shared with her class basic skills needed in everyday life at home.  They learned how to use basic tools and life skills along with some hands-on babysitting practice.  The highlight was the week taking care of their potato babies.         

We are thankful for the gifts Mr. Schiemann shared with his group, "The Geek Squad".  This group was hard at work tearing apart computers and learning about all the technology on campus. This group will be kept busy all year helping teachers with their smart boards, laptops, and sound systems.  It is great to have so many gentlemen ready to help us.

         

     

On Friday afternoons there were great smells drifting in the air around St. Peter's Church. St. Peter's graciously allowed Chef Marni and her assistants to teach a group about various culinary techniques and dishes.  This group of students were always willing to dive in and try their hand at cooking.  The pay-off, enjoying their creations. 

                                                      

For LEST Mr. Collins is working with a 6 students as they prepare to participate in the LEGO Robotics competition.  They have been hard at work designing and testing their robots.  It has been fun watching them work under deadlines and through problems with programs.  They will continue to work through the second trimester.

                   

  

This year we have a very dedicated group of students who are working hard to put together our yearbook.  With the help of Mrs. Hill they have learned how to take pictures, lay out pages, and many other skills needed to put together a yearbook.  We are all anxiously waiting to see their final product later this year.

         

  

Thank you for a great Trimester!

This Friday we start a whole new set of Applied Skills.  Your student has their selection sheet with the details.  We welcome Mr. Carter and Mr. Kok to our list of volunteers this term.
