At Jefferson, they created "surprise art" and at Bluff, trees with falling leaves (tissue paper leaves)!

Students in music class practicing their songs for their winter program coming up!
At the beginning of class, they were invited to raise their hand and share a "good thing". It was sweet to hear them share something good/something that makes or made them happy.

Kayleigh Ketelson is a CHS student in the apprenticeship program for Welding. She is working with Air Control in Clinton.
Here is what Jeff Stroller, COO of Air Control, has to say about Kayleigh's progress: "She is doing a fantastic job and fitting in exceptionally well! Her work ethic and quality is amazing for a seventeen year old high school kid. We couldn’t be more pleased. She’s mainly been in our north shop fabricating parts for our Sewer Equipment of America, truck tanks. She works in two stations for the most part and does very well!"
