Second, back in September, our theatre department entered the Scrap to Success competition by Empower/Craighead Electric. We were given several 'scrap' material from them that the students had to build something out of. (first picture is of the materials they delivered). We decided to make several props/set pieces for our fall show, so the students made a working chariot, a rolling KFC bucket, a game show wheel, and a garden structure. Two students, Grayson Goad and Walker Sloan, and I, gave our presentation last week at the CECC Headquarters, and we were awarded 2nd place and $750 for our program!
*Also don't forget to make plans to come see "PUFFS" on Saturday, April 18th at 2pm and 7pm, and Sunday April 19th at 2pm. If you like a certain magical wizard that goes to a certain magical school, you will enjoy this show!

A group of 10th and 11th grade students recently toured Black River Technical College’s Paragould campus to learn more about the Career and Technical programs they can take on the college campus next year.
Programs available to our students include CNA, Phlebotomy, EMT, Nursing Prerequisites, Welding, Industrial Electricity, and Robotics. While visiting, we also had the opportunity to see a few of our current students in action as they worked in their classes.

Mrs. Clairday teamed up with local career coaches to host a Medical Career Exploration Camp at ASU-Newport Marked Tree Campus. Students got a behind-the-scenes look at healthcare careers with fun, hands-on activities—including dissecting a cow’s eyeball and exploring surgical tech and nursing programs.
A big thank you to ASU-Newport for hosting and supporting this amazing opportunity for our students!
