Today, students from Mrs. Winland’s CBI class and Mrs. Best’s Career English class learned all about potential careers in trades at the New Castle School of Trades Career Fair! The students learned about various trades, asked great questions, and were even able to go on a tour of the facility. Thank you to the New Castle School of Trades for having us!

How do we prepare the next generation for essential roles in our community? The DSP-U program at East Palestine High School is the gold standard.

Facilitated by Lighthouse Cove, this program bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world. Students complete 160 hours of training and leave with a NADSP E-Badge Academy credential—equipping them with the skills to support people with I/DD immediately upon graduation.

Learn more: https://tvplus.lighthousecove.org/dsp-u-in-schools/

A special shout-out to Mrs. Gretchen Winland and Maddison Foster, as well as our partnership with Threshold Residential Services!

Today is National Letter to an Elder Day, and our Rotary Interact students celebrated in the best way possible.

Under the guidance of Mr. Kyle Zimmerman, 20 students learned the art of letter writing and the proper way to address an envelope. The result? 23 personalized, handwritten letters filled with kindness for the residents of Christian House.

Mr. Zimmerman will be delivering this bundle of mail later today! We are so proud of these students for taking the time to brighten a neighbor's day.
