The walls are leveled, placed, and done! It's all mulched in and we are ready for plants!! Had a little extra block to even do Mrs. Bundy's memorial tree as well.

Shout out to Chase, Gus, Madden, Carter, Izaac, Logan and Colby for staying out longer today to get the job done!

Time to mark out plants, dig holes for some larger shrubs and trees, and then plant on Thursday!

When the boys ask you what you're doing tomorrow morning because they want to come in to get the inside wall finished, how can you say no?

Chase, Gus, and Aiden all came in this morning at 7:45 to get the inside retaining wall completed. Filling dirt, rototilling, leveling, cutting and gluing block, putting down w**d mat and mulch all got done today because of these boys!

This past Wednesday, Gus, Carson, and Chase all worked after their after school activities until 10:30pm to get the stone leveled, tamped, and the first layer of block down to set this up for success and make sure this wall will look great for years to come.

The rest of the class during our school day was able to finish laying w**d mat and mulch down in the front of the high school and around Mrs. Bundy's memorial tree to finish those up!

Our goal is finishing the sign early next week and then putting all of the plants in the different beds just in time for everyone to enjoy at graduation!

Nothing is stopping these kids when they put their mind to something. Late nights, early mornings, during the school day for class and study halls - they are making sure to stick by their deadline and promise of a job well done.

State Convention Day One Recap!!
We started off the day by visiting the Groovy Plants Ranch. While we were there we had a full tour of the ranch. We explored through the rock shop, many different greenhouses, and even the mining experience. Thank you so much to the Groovy Plants Ranch for having us!

Once we got to the convention center we got to celebrate Lynde and Lyla on their proficiencies!
Lynde got 4th in her proficiency for Environmental Science and Natural Resources Management. Congratulations Lynde, we are so proud of you!!
Lyla got 3rd in her proficiency for Specialty Crop Production and 2nd in her proficiency for Swine Production Entrepreneurship. Congratulations Lyla, we are so proud of you too!!

Finally we ended off the night eating some ice cream at Graters. Overall, we had a very successful first day of convention!

If you are driving by the high school, you may see some work happening. That's because our advanced Skilled Trades class is doing an overhaul to some of the landscaping at the high school! So far we've cleaned out all the old mulch, marked new lines for new beds, pulled out bushes, rented a sod cutter and cut out all our new landscape areas. We are continuing to do more the rest of this month and into May.

Our crew leaders of Gus Buffington, Chase Cooper, Carter Miller and Madden Witt all came up with plans, scaled drawings, budgets, mockups, and presented to our principal, guidance counselors, alumni, and superintendent to be able to make this project possible! With the help of their classmates, we are hoping to have some of the areas done by graduation for our community and school to enjoy!

Our students have put in many class hours for the pre-work, and now the labor. On top of that, some students are coming in after school hours and on their weekend to make this idea become a reality. We can't wait for you to see the final results! We are super proud of these students and what they are doing for our school!
