We are incredibly grateful to CF Industries for their ongoing commitment to our partnership. Thanks to their financial donation and hands-on teamwork, our Construction students had the unique opportunity to build a brand-new table and personal cutting boards.

As a token of our appreciation, our classes collaborated to create a custom clock to be displayed at the CF Industries site.

This project truly brought on-the-job experience to life in our classrooms, teaching students essential skills in table construction, epoxy application, and team collaboration.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the other sponsors who helped bring this vision to reality: The River's Edge, The Mill co. , Grade A Custom Design, and SERKKA Farms. Thank you for investing in the next generation of builders!

Ms. Pelletier's geography class celebrated the final episode of season 11 of The Amazing Race Canada. Throughout the semester, students watched competitors push their physical and mental limits against the backdrop of our country's vast and diverse landscapes. Students were prompted to make connections to the concepts of geographic thinking during each episode and continued to examine the complexity of Canadian geography🤔⛰️
