Fifth graders from Hope Academy of Public Service recently visited CertainTeed and Weyerhaeuser in connection to a unit on manufacturing in Social Studies classes. They had a presentation that included blasting to get the gypsum out of the mine. Students also got a chance to explore samples of gypsum and stucco and learned how gypsum is used to make drywall. They were also shown the tools and devices used to meet quality standards. Students were given swag bags before leaving. They had lunch at Daisy State Park, then headed to Weyerhaeuser in Dierks. At Weyerhaeuser, students heard a presentation detailing the complicated process of turning logs into 2X4s and other lumber. Each student received a shirt, a wallet/safety kit, headphones, a stress ball, and more. Both companies were welcoming and happy to explain their manufacturing process to teachers and students. They also discussed career opportunities and salaries. Students had a blast, and several expressed an interest in engineering. Thanks to Ms. Strong for planning this trip for our students and CertainTeed and Weyerhauser for making it an amazing experience! #college&careerreadybobcats

Friday, October 11, 2024 Officer Keith Powell of the Hope Police Department came out to read to students in Mary Storey's K-1 ESL classes. The students have learned about community helpers and how the police are there to protect us and keep children safe. Office Powell and Officer Luke Sorenson explained how they use their tools to help others and let the children take a peek at the Patrol Vehicle. The students were ecstatic to meet the officers and to have officer Keith Powell read a Halloween book to them. I would love to thank the Hope PD for allowing the officers to spend time with our students and to show students that the police are here to be a friendly face they can depend on in our community. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture 🚓🚨🚔📚
