Our chapter’s convention highlights concluded with Ellie being recognized as a Star in Production in her SAE. There are 24 finalist selected from the four areas: Production, Placement, Agribusiness, and Research.

Applicants apply at the district level and are selected to move on after an interview and application and record book review.

Then, applications are judged to select the finalists before state convention.

At state convention, the winners are selected from interviews.

Ellie was also selected for the chorus which performed during most of the general sessions.

Many of our students take dual credit classes with Southeast Community College including in the Career Academy Program Welding (part of the reason why our welding program is successful and competes well).

Whether a student plans to go to SCC, another community college, or a university, today’s tours can be a comparison to help them decide what is best for them.

SCC Welding department hosts and conducts the CDE, so we were able to pick up our finished welds and picked up small, round tubing and a notcher to be used for assignments.

Food. The desire to eat on a regular basis and the necessity of needing food to function is a common thread for all people.

It’s difficult to imagine not having when you have always had.

We toured Center For People to learn how they serve people who need assistance with food and employment. They help people in their classrooms with resumes, cover letters and job applications so that they can get a job or become re-employed after struggles. People stand in line once a week to go through the food pantry and can receive diapers once a month. Those who come to the center want a better life for themselves and their families, they want to have economic independence so that they can take care of themselves.
