Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Lake Region GOCAPS Capstone Night, and this week I spent time with the Tri-Lakes Area GOCAPS Showcase, and I continue to be so impressed.
The energy, professionalism, and curiosity these students bring to their learning environments is incredible. Seeing them engage with real-world experiences and take ownership of their futures is exactly what makes programs like GOCAPS so impactful. Itās clear they are developing the skills and confidence that will serve them well in whatever path they choose.
A sincere thank you to the directors and instructors at both Lake Region and Tri-Lakes for welcoming me and allowing me to be part of your programs. The dedication you show to these students does not go unnoticed, and it truly makes a difference.
I also want to give a special congratulations to one of our Missouri State Outreach instructors Mr. Bryan Campbell, who was honored at the Lake Region night with a plaque of appreciation for his many years of support. It was wonderful to see his commitment recognized, and it is well deserved!
Grateful for these partnerships and the opportunity to support such outstanding students.
