Several community projects happening today in our Groove lab class! 💥 💥

In honor of the Easter holiday, the students at CKCA have created cutouts. We currently have 50 available to purchase for $25. (16”x12”)

All proceeds from this project will be divided between the CKCA program and a local church.

If you are interested in purchasing please contact CKCA welding instructor Jordan Tedrow or any CKCA welding student.

💥CKCA had three welding students travel to Jacksonville, Florida this weekend to compete in the competition. Kaleb Gray finished 23rd out of 207 welding competitors, earning himself some new welding gear.
These three CKCA students earned scholarships today for competing and plan to attend Tulsa Welding School to continue their welding careers. Congratulations to Kaleb, Austin and Cayden.

We are doing CNC cutouts this month to raise money toward senior gifts. These will be priced at $5 per one and $7 if you would like painted.

If you would like one or multiples please email [email protected] or send a direct message. Sizes are 2.50”x5”
