HS Students have one period per day for Leadership/Intervention. One topic offered this week was floral arrangements with Ms. Winters. Students who opted into this leadership class learned about careers involving flowers and about the expenses & income of a self-employed flower farmer who also designs and sells bouquets. They learned tips about designing bouquets and then created their own.
Day 2 in the Ag shop focused on team work, communication, and growth mindset. Students were tasked with working collaboratively to build the tallest tower using nothing but three pieces of printer paper and a rationed amount of tape. Our winning team from the day reached a whopping 114 inches and had to be moved to the shop for final measurements!
