On Monday February 23rd, students from the Branch Area Careers Center shared their knowledge on the career fields they study with 3rd & 4th graders from Jennings Elementary. All students participated in hands-on activities including learning how to stop a deep cut from bleeding, using tools to tighten bolts, how to cook alfredo from scratch, and identifying what a good teacher looks like to them.

Even as snow covered our campus and the halls were quiet, the learning never stopped. I am incredibly proud of our dedicated staff who braved the cold to engage in meaningful professional development. Your commitment to growth—especially in challenging conditions—speaks volumes about your dedication to our students.
I am also deeply grateful to the teams who put in so much time, thought, and effort to develop and present the training. Your leadership and collaboration made this experience impactful and worthwhile. Thank you all for showing that learning continues, no matter the weather.
