Two of our community partners, Wal-Mart and The Scotts Company, have aided the students at Cartmell Elementary who are working on the Sellers Community Garden in honor of their friend and classmate who passed away last year. The garden is a project by the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) in honor Deacon Sellers, who was a member of STLP and had a vision for a community garden. They are being helped by CCHS student Coy Willhoite, who is in the agriculture pathway. He secured the donations of tools and soil for the Cartmell students. Thank you to our wonderful community partners who are always willing to lend a hand for our students!

It’s important to note that every senior must register to attend the event as specific information will be needed to make the announcement. Please use this link to register. The deadline to register is April 4.

Some failed at 55 pounds while others did not break even after one or more people stood on the popsicle stick creations. (More photos on the District Facebook page.)

Carroll County Area Technology Center’s electrical technology students will begin learning about solar power. A public presentation is scheduled for this evening to share information about how to incorporate solar power into a residence.
“I’ve always been interested in solar energy,” said John “Tooter” Booth, the electrical instructor and a master electrician. He noted it was a very complicated and expensive process to utilize solar power in a family’s home, but that has changed.
“Anybody can install it at their home and it’s a whole lot more reasonable,” Booth added
His students will install a solar field behind the ATC and the study of solar energy will become part of the curriculum for his class.
Nick Shelton, co-founder and owner of Dynamic Solar Systems will give the solar energy presentation at 6:30 p.m. in the CCMS auditorium. The public is invited to attend.

Several students in the gifted and talented program had the opportunity to meet with a coral cat shark and ambassadors from the Newport Aquarium to compare shark species and explore ways to take an active role in conservation efforts. During the visit, they were able to closely examine the colors and unique adaptations of coral cat sharks, gaining a deeper understanding of how these fascinating creatures have evolved to thrive in their environment. It was an educational and inspiring encounter that reinforced the importance of marine conservation. (Photos courtesy of Chasity Snow.)
