Promoting literacy is more than teaching reading skills. It's about helping students discover books they genuinely enjoy reading.
This year, Ms. Germann's 11th and 12th grade students participate in regular "Book Breaks" and have access to the classroom's new Book Stop, a space designed to encourage independent (and enjoyable) reading.
This collection of high-interest titles was built through books gathered by the teacher over the summer, new purchases made by the school, and a generous donation from Sunshine for Sharon Gillespie, an organization dedicated to creating a legacy of readers.
Giving students time during the school day to read for enjoyment, strengthens literacy skills, expands perspectives, reduces stress, and develops habits that will benefit them in the classroom and beyond.
Ms. Germann is currently collecting old magazine issues related to health, fitness, cooking, the outdoors, and vehicles. Please email Ms. Germann at Kristin.Germann@shctc.us if you have any to donate.

Alumni Spotlight: Orrin Housh
Today we welcomed back Orrin Housh, a graduate of the SHCTC Welding Program Class of 2024, to visit our Welding lab and speak with current students about his career experiences since graduation.

Visual Design 1 students learned how to make custom patterns in Adobe Illustrator and about the proportions of the human face last week. They did pre-press setups for the vinyl printer/plotter and applied the masks to foam core board to create a wearable mask for Halloween.
Our PreK students love the Gummy Bear man, aka, Mr. Michael. His fun visits at lunch always brings a smile to their faces and makes the afternoon a little sweeter.
