Academics



MyTI (pronounced "mighty") Days are an opportunity for students, along withinstructors, counselors, and administrators to visit the programs at Mitchell Technical Institute that are the “next steps” in career clusters of interest. The student may be enrolled those program courses in high school or just have an interest in that area

The following are the dates for the camps:
November 18, 2015 – Scrubs
March 8, 2016 – Culinary

You will notice that there is not a grade level of attendance for MyTI Days. I would say that camp is geared more toward that sophomore or junior student that is in the midst of career exploration, but I wouldn't discourage a senior who is trying to figure out what to do next year or a freshman with a great deal of interest in that area to apply either.

Registration is limited, so I would encourage your students to apply early.






FFA


The SC/W FFA membership voted $20 individual dues at the October chapter meeting.  Please get your dues in to the business manager or Mr. Gross by Nov. 30th.

The WEPC is collecting the following items for our elementary school: Box Tops for Education, Coborn's Labels for Learning (found at the bottom of your Coborn's receipt), Campbell's Soup Labels for Education, pop tabs, and Coca-Cola points. Please save these for us even if you don't have a student in the elementary school as it takes an entire community to help their school thrive.
