🌱 Hands-On Learning in the Greenhouse! 🌿

Our Greenhouse class visited 3 Sisters Greenhouse and Nursery today for a great hands-on learning experience!

Students learned about sub-irrigation, how fungus can affect plant health, common plant pests, and proper trimming and pruning techniques. It was a great opportunity to see greenhouse skills in action and learn directly from professionals in the industry.

Thank you, 3 Sisters Greenhouse and Nursery, for sharing your knowledge with our students! 💙🌱

🎉 **We’re off to a great school year!** 🎉

Students at Emmett Middle School taking PR2TA’s 8th Grade Pathways in CTE class are starting the year by learning and seeing what CTE — Career & Technical Education — is all about!

CTE gives students opportunities to explore careers while developing practical, real-world skills. It combines classroom learning with hands-on experiences, career exploration, problem-solving, teamwork, and technical skills that can help prepare students for high school, college, technical training, and future careers.

Throughout the course, students will have the opportunity to explore different career pathways and discover the many possibilities available through PR2TA. 🔧🍳✈️💻🩺⚙️

We’re excited to help our students learn by doing, discover their interests, and start thinking about their future!
