*The Works for ME campaign has been producing a series of videos about CTE schools in Maine, and were here on April 26 to interview and video our teachers and students in the Exploratory Program. The students did a great job and we can't wait to see the final video footage!
*The Building Trades Program is busy finishing the construction of a 14' x 18' shed and an observation room addition to the ECE Building. This room includes includes one-way mirrors for observing the preschool and a microphone system. It will be used collaboratively by our students and WCCC students in the ECE programs.
*The CNA Program students are transitioning from the hospital to a nursing home setting for their clinical experience.
*The Culinary Arts Program students are benefiting from the donation of a culinary book collection.
*The Criminal Justice Program students are making good use of their police simulator.
*The Business Program recently upgraded to Macbooks for student use in the classroom. The more powerful computers are better able to handle the software students are using, resulting in fewer glitches and more time spent learning.

December 2022 Happenings:
The Culinary Arts student are experimenting with exotic foods, with the support of the state supplies grant. They also receive donations from the local food pantry surplus and are challenged with creating dishes from the ingredients on hand. This week they have started their ServSafe certification training.
The Building Trades students have framed up a 14' x 16' utility shed. They just completed installing shingles on the roof. The students are learning how to create building plans on the computer with 3DHome Architech and will print them on their new large scaled plotter.
The Automotive Technology students changed over 20 sets of snow tires in the last month. They have learned how to resurface rotors on the brake lathe and perform 4-wheel alignments. They have done many maintenance and light repair jobs including oil changes, brake lines, alternators, and lift kits.
The Welding students continue to weld many flat and horizontal plates as they prepare for their AWS certification tests. They have built a new shop table with a smooth, level, and true work surface. They have also built a new gate for the soccer field driveway.
The CNA students will start their clinical practice at Calais Community Hospital soon. They are mastering skills such as taking vital signs - both manually and machine read, giving bed baths, and proper hand washing. The are learning how to operate a mechanical patient lift, which prevents many back injuries.
The Computer Electronics Technology students are making great use of the new Lego robotics kits. CHS and CES were each granted a cartload of robotics kits from the state and have shared them with each school in the district. The students face both engineering challenges in the construction of their robots and programming challenges in making them operate. Their first objective is, of course, battle bots.
The Early Childhood Occupations students are continuing to master their skills through clinical practice at CES, WES, and our on-site preschool. The students create learning activities for the preschoolers, make seasonal snacks, and learn about managing a preschool center.
The Business students are learning a variety of skills. These include converting accounting journals to ledgers, writing resumes and cover letters, creating budgets, and using applied digital tools like MSOffice.
The Criminal Justice students are enthusiastic about the new police simulator. They have all competed their OSHA-10 cards and First Aid/CPR certifications.

November 2022 Recent Happenings:
*Our Early Childhood Program has started their clinical practice and the Discover Preschool.
*The Computer Electronics Program is continuing a project started last year - a solar powered boat. This is in collaboration with the Calais High School Tech Ed students, who are making the boat. The Computer Electronics students are designing, engineering, and building the electrical system to run the motor.
*Our CNA students are preparing for their clinical practice at the Calais Regional Hospital. They have been practicing taking vital signs and learning how to read care plans and document patient care.
*The Welding Program is busy with their paddle wheels, which are small assemblies used to practice welding in various positions.

Kale Sapiel, a student at St. Croix Regional Technical Center, demonstrates a solar vehicle that he and two other students (Dylan Korasadowicz and Shane DelMonaco) designed and built as part of the school's Computer and Electrical Technology program. The vehicle harnesses and stores solar power to quickly reach a sustainable 18 miles per hour with no added pedaling from the user. |
