Fashion Design

Students in the fashion design class have learned how to use our embroidery machines. They are busy working on projects for a grade. They can also make shirts for people in the community. We have some neat wildcat designs. If you would like to see them stop by Mrs. Lipe's room sometime. The cost for most sweatshirts is between $20 - $25.

High School FACS class

Students in the high school FACS classes have been learning how to apply for a job. We have spent several days learning the correct ways to fill out job applications. Students are now taking some assessments to see how their interests match up to different jobs. They will be doing some research finding out information about 5 different careers they may be interested in. Parents you may want to check out the website we are using- missouriconnections.org It has some really neat information!

Middle School Classes

Students in the middle school FACS classes are busy working on their pillows. They are doing a great job! Tuesday will be the last day of class time we spend working on them. I will stay after school on Tuesday until 4:00 for any student who has not finished their pillow and would like time to work on it.

HS FACS classes

Students in HS FACS classes will begin a new unit on careers next week. One thing we will be doing is filling out job applications. Students may bring in up to 2 blank job applications for extra credit by Sept. 17.
