This week, our Ag students spent time at the Brown County Fairgrounds helping prepare for the Brown County fair! They set up tents, hung red, white, and blue banners, planted flowers, cleaned out six barns, assisted with decorating, and helped put up handicap signs.
We are proud of their hard work, teamwork, and willingness to serve our community. Thank you, students, for helping make the fairgrounds look great and ready for fair week!

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.

Ms. Germann's English 11 students put their communication skills to the test with a monster drawing challenge. One partner was given a random monster image and had to describe it using clear verbal directions and body language, while the other partner attempted to recreate it without seeing the original. The artist relied on active listening and could ask questions to clarify details along the way.
This activity demonstrated the importance of two-way communication, showing that successful communication requires both a clear speaker and an engaged listener. Students proved they can communicate much better than a monster!
