After much anticipation - not to mention great need - our two new
modular classrooms are up and running and will house our vocational
education classes.
For years, we have
been providing classes in Food Occupation & Safety and Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA). Because we did not have a dedicated space for
the food occupation classes, they were frequently moved around campus
much to the detriment of consistency and continuity. One of our new
modular classrooms is specifically designed and equipped for the food
occupation curriculum.
The other new
classroom will house a horticulture program that is being reintroduced.
In years past, we had a horticulture program that was extremely popular
among our students. Due to the death of the horticulture teacher, the
program unfortunately was suspended. We are thrilled to be able to bring
back this educational program that had been so popular and successful.
We are so very
blessed to have a donor who provided the funding for these classrooms.
The equipment and materials were purchased with donations from
foundations, civic and service clubs, and individuals. Every day, we see
the positive results brought about through the generosity of so many
people and we thank each and every donor.
However, even with
this new addition we still need more classroom space. We are currently
working to raise funds for another modular classroom building and hope
to have it in place before the end of the current school year.
