Student work assignments

The 2nd cycle of campus mobile and community worksite assignments begins Thursday, November 17th, delayed a week because of the storm, and runs through Wednesday, January 20th. Notices of continuing and new assignments should be going out to parents by Monday, 11/15.

Open House success

Thanks to all the families that were able to attend the recent Open House. New families had an opportunity to visit the Campus Work Center, and the Vocational Department's media display of movies and photographs of students working got lots of nice attention.

Recent additions to training equipment

The Department's complement of business machines was recently expanded with the purchase of 3 electric paper folding machines for students to use in the Campus Work Center and at Faith Lutheran Church.

We have 2 Martin Yale P6200 Desktop Folders which will produce tri-fold business letters.

We also have 1 Martin Yale P7200 RapidFold which will produce both business and half folds.
