We’re proud to celebrate two outstanding students from our Teacher Preparation Program for their success at the Educators Rising Children’s Literature Competition! 📚✨
👏 Carley Graham earned 2nd place in the PreK Division, with her book, “Sally Sander Sue and the Color Blue”. A book about learning from the colors and the world around us, and how sometimes it's okay to feel a little blue.
👏 Addy Gonzalez earned 3rd place in the K–3rd Grade Division, with her book, “The Kirby Sister’s Adventures”. A book about how important speaking up for yourself and others, even if sometimes it is hard.
Their hard work and love for literacy truly shine through their achievements. We can’t wait to see the incredible impact they’ll make in their future classrooms! 💙🍎 #FutureEducators #EducatorsRising #TeacherPrep #ChildrensLiterature
Today in PM Graphic Design, students spent time discussing the requirements for their Work-Based Learning experiences happening next week—reviewing expectations, responsibilities, and how to represent themselves professionally in real-world settings.
Our 2nd-year designers proudly presented their creative book cover projects, showcasing strong typography, thoughtful layouts, and eye-catching visuals. Meanwhile, the 1st-years brought the flavor with beautifully designed restaurant menus, focusing on branding, readability, and style.
From preparing for professional experiences to creating polished projects, these students continue to grow as confident, career-ready designers! 🎨✨ #PMGraphicDesign #WorkBasedLearning #StudentCreatives #FutureDesigners

🧼✈️ Learning the Right Way to Wash an Aircraft ✈️🧼
Today our students were hands-on learning the proper way to wash an aircraft—because even cleaning is a critical part of aviation maintenance. From using approved cleaning agents to protecting sensitive areas and inspecting surfaces as you go, every step matters.
A clean aircraft isn’t just about looks—it helps prevent corrosion, protects materials, and gives maintainers a better chance to spot issues early. Attention to detail starts here, on the ground, building habits that carry into every inspection and repair.
Proud of these students for taking pride in their work and learning to do it the right way, every time. 💪✈️
