Dora R-3 JAG

A huge thank you to Stephen at Midwest Technical Institute and all of the course instructors we visited with today. We learned and toured the following programs offered at MTI: welding, cosmetology, medical coding and medical specialists, phlebotomy and dental assistanting. We also learned about the HVAC-R and truck driving programs. Thank you for such a great informative day and helping us to navigate and prepare for our future.

Thank you Sheriff Cass Martin & Deputy Sergeant Seth Miller from OCSD for coming and speaking with us today. We appreciate you!

This is our first “Work it Wednesday”. Students are fully engaged in taking complete ownership of their academics. During this time, they are meeting with Mrs. McKee for a check in and setting goals for their classes, receiving additional help and working on assignments, preparing for exams and working on their AR reading. Here’s to a successful 2024-2025 School Year

Community Involvement Needed:

Own or operate a business? Want to share your job/career path story? Looking to inspire our youth to pursue a certain career path? WE NEED YOU!

Please share the word and invite others to like our page and reach out to us to be a guest speaker, enable job shadowing, recruitment, sponsorship partners, etc.

We couldn’t leave St. Louis this morning without seeing our Hope and presenting her with our 2nd place award for PBL Showcase.

Wow! Where do I even begin?? To say that I am beyond proud of the hard work, dedication, and determination that these girls demonstrated would be an understatement.

These girls represented themselves, our program, our school, and JAG Missouri well.

Please help me in CONGRATULATING Madison Howell, Tierra Mitchell, Calli Dobbs, Addi Simpson, & Karly Bettis. We also can not forget our Hope Green who has been cheering us from the sidelines as she has been unable to compete in person this year. Hope worked so hard in her preparations as mentioned has been one of our biggest cheerleaders.

Dora R-3 JAG received the following awards at the 2024 National Career Development Conference:
Merit Award: National Service Learning Project
Outstanding Chapter
2nd Place: PBL (Project Based Learning) Showcase

When the girls were not competing they were attending amazing workshops and attended every NCA Lead workshop which earned them a special pin and certificate.

We hope you enjoy our pictures. One of our personal favorite is the one with our, Hope Green holding our Service Learning plaque.

We would like to also say a “THANK YOU” to each and every single one of you for your support ❤️

WE ARE IN THE HOUSE AND READY FOR OUR JAG NATIONAL OPENING CEREMONY!!!!

We will post a more detailed update and pictures later tonight
