Culinary students held a cup cake war this past week.  Each team did a great job!

The Health Occupations students will begin their clinical experience at Seminary Manor. Students are required by  Illinois Department of Public Health to complete 40 hours of clinical time and to test out on 21 skills which include bathing, dressing, and feeding to successfully complete the course.    

Building Trades students began working with habitat for humanity again on house #51. The students completed the forms for the footings and will soon be completing the foundation and beginning on the framing process.  The dedication for house #50 which the students helped drywall will take place on 10/29/16.  

Recently Mr. Miller attended the International Manufacturing Trade Show in Chicago.  While at the expo Mr. Miller met representatives from SolidCAM.  After talking, SolidCAM offered to donate $10,000 worth of software and education support to the Engineering Design class.  This software will be used when students design and write the code that is needed to manufacture the part on CNC Mille.   Thank you SolidCAM!

Culinary Occupations has been baking up a storm this past month.  We successfully completed 71 dozen fall flavored muffins.  The class has been learning about garnishing and they created apple swans, strawberry roses and radish roses.  We have also discussed different fruits and vegetables and created edible arrangements.  We are gearing up for our Halloween Cupcake Wars and Chili Cook Off!  

 Students were happy to assist with some last minute details to complete house # 50 before this house is dedicated at the end of October. 

Early Childhood Education students continue to receive hands on experiences working with the children at Bright Futures this year.  A highlight for several students was when they got to observe and assist Ms. Petrie, Director of Bright Futures, present a whole lesson on preparing pancakes.
