MMHS CTSO Groups Teach CCA

Submitted by nikki.argyle on

Our CTSOs (Career & Technical Student Organization) presented to the 7th-grade CCA students at Maple Grove Middle School today! We had a lot of fun teaching them about our FCCLA, FFA, and SkillsUSA groups! The 7th graders even got to make their own container of homemade butter! (Hopefully, that didn’t cause a problem for the custodians later!)  Thank you to Ms. Peterson, Mr. Sorenson, and Ms. Huezo for inviting us! We can’t wait for these future Golden Eagles to be students at MM…and maybe they’ll be future officers in one of these amazing leadership organizations!

SHHS Fashion Show

Submitted by nikki.argyle on

The Salem Hills Fashion Design Merchandising class, taught by Whitney Black, had a blast as they got to put together designs. They were given newspaper, tissue paper, a plastic tablecloth, and tape as their materials and had half an hour to put together a design before the judges came in. The teams presented their designs in a mini fashion show and did an amazing job showing off their talents!
