SHS Carpentry Students Continue Work with Habitat for Humanity

Starmount Carpentry I students are continuing their work with Habitat for Humanity that started earlier in the school year. 

Through this cabinet assembly project, they continue to work on mastering their skills with hand and power tools, reading and following technical directions and problem solving while working with an external customer.

Great example of hands-on practice while supporting the community!

Starmount Middle Hosts Career Day

Starmount Middle School recently hosted a Career Day, giving their students the opportunity to explore a variety of careers, learn from professionals, and discover exciting possibilities for their future! A HUGE thank you goes out to Mrs. Sellers for all of her hard work, dedication, and countless hours spent organizing such a successful event! SMS would also like to thank all of the wonderful guests who took time out of their busy schedules to inspire our Rams and share their experiences! Big dreams start with opportunities like today!

Forbush FFA Attends National Convention

Forbush FFA had an amazing week at the National FFA Convention! They had a blast, learned so much, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

During their trip, they visited the Indianapolis Zoo, a koi fish farm, an apple orchard, and Conner Prairie for a Fall Festival. They also explored numerous colleges and career opportunities at the expo, enjoyed a little shopping, and had the opportunity to watch the National FFA Officers during the opening session. We wrapped up the week and went to an exciting rodeo!

One of the best parts of the experience was meeting FFA members from across the country and making new friends from Davidson and Chatham counties along the way.

Experiences like these allow our students to learn beyond the classroom, explore future career opportunities, build friendships, and see just how big the FFA family really is! 

Thank you so much for allowing us to go! The girls are already asking to go next year, and one is working on an Agriscience Fair project to hopefully compete in that area!
