Sewing Up Success! ✨🧵 Mrs. Matzek’s sewing students are hard at work putting the final stitches on their quilting projects as Quarter 3 wraps up! 🪡💜 It’s amazing to see the unique patterns and designs they’ve chosen, showcasing the machine sewing skills they’ve developed throughout the class. From bold and bright to classic and cozy, each quilt is a reflection of their creativity and hard work! We can’t wait to see the finished products! Stay tuned for the big reveal!

FFA Students Making a Difference! For the second year in a row, students from Mrs. Christenson’s FFA classes stepped up to support conservation efforts! These hardworking students helped burn brush that was previously cut for the Kiap-TU-Wish Chapter of Trout Unlimited, working to maintain a healthy riparian corridor along the Trimbelle River. After a safety briefing and learning about the importance of riverbank restoration, they got to work hauling tree and brush slash to the bonfires. This ongoing project, located just south of Hwy 10 near the GasLite Bar, will continue for the next couple of years to remove invasive box elder and buckthorn before planting native trees to restore the area. 👏 Huge shoutout to these FFA students for their dedication to conservation and hands-on learning!
