In March, we sent a group of girls to the All Femme Film Festival during the annual NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth) conference in Seattle. While there, the girls got one on one time with 18 different industry professionals to discuss future careers and how they can improve their craft. Kaleah Westergarde earned an Honorable Mention for her film, "Help Me Eli." Congrats Kaleah!

It's competition season so students are hard at work readying their photography and films for submission to various festivals around the state. Stay tuned for more of their work soon!

Today Mrs. Wesen's CTE Agricultural Biology students had class outdoors! They had the opportunity to visit land owned by Hampton Lumber and land managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Students learned from professionals in the forestry and natural resources industries about their careers, the science behind what they do, and how we can be better stewards of the land. Thank you so much to the Hampton Lumber Team and the DNR Team for taking your time to teach us today, we had a great time 🌲

Agricultural Biology class is part of the CTE AG Pathway towards graduation and meets two requirements; CTE and Science. Next school year, CTE will be offering a new course to the pathway, Natural Resource Science.
