Child Development students teamed up with Ettrick Elementary second graders to create their very own children’s books!
In late January, high school students visited Ettrick Elementary to collaborate with their second graders, and by early March, they returned to share the finished books. Each second grader received their very own copy; a keepsake of creativity and teamwork!

From Pre-ACTs to campus tours! On Tuesday, our 9th graders headed to Western Technical College and our 10th graders visited Winona State University. After touring the facilities and meeting with staff, our students walked away with a better sense of the world of possibilities waiting for them. Whether a student is headed for a degree, a trade, or the workforce, these visits provide vital perspective on the diverse opportunities available after graduation!

Things got sweet and a little sticky in U.S. Foods class today. Students rolled up their sleeves and took on the tasty challenge of making homemade saltwater taffy — this soft, chewy, whipped, and pulled candy originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the 1880s! The results were deliciously worth it. Way to stretch those skills, everyone!🍬
