🌸✨ Disney Meets Floral Design! ✨🌸
Mrs. Flegler's Floral Design class put their creativity to work in a hands-on Disney Floral Design Character Challenge — blending art, agriculture, and storytelling in one meaningful project!
Students were assigned a professional floral design type and challenged to create an arrangement inspired by a Disney character. Along the way, they practiced:
🌼 Design elements (color, line, form, texture, space)
🎯 Design principles (balance, proportion, focal point, rhythm, harmony)
🌿 Thoughtful plant selection & symbolism
✨ Creativity and craftsmanship
📝 Written reflection and self-assessment
From character-inspired color palettes to intentional flower choices, students demonstrated both technical skills and personal expression — just like real floral designers! #celebrate379

Mrs. Affolter's earth science students participated in a good old prospecting challenge today! In small groups, they used a topogaphic map to figure out where the best areas were to mine Molybdenum, which is a versatile, silvery-grey transition metal with an extremely high melting point used in industrial alloys. #celebrate379
Mr. Craig's Ag Power class has completed its small engines unit. They took a small 4-cycle Kohler engine, tore it down to the block, and reassembled it to run. #celebrate379


Mrs. Flegler's Animal Care (Vet Science) class has been learning about the importance of prescriptions for animal use. They first deciphered prescriptions, then applied math concepts to determine how many tablets should be in a prescription, and then filled the prescription label and bottle to the specifications. The next day, students practiced administering medicines to their "clients" via oral, aural, and ophthalmic routes. #celebrate379
