Advance Shop- Senior projects need to get done and paid for by May 17th!!!!  They only have 15 days of school left. Some of them act as if they have all year and it is very frustrating!! Ditto goes for the the under classman as well. We are on the down side of things and my main objective is to get all projects done and finished, plus I want them to look nice!






 General Shop- Some students need to get hardware for their projects ASAP. Most students are in good shape to get done before the end of the year!! However, there are alot of projects that need to be sprayed three times so it takes awhile.Students who are done can work on home work or help other students or make something small. Your son or daughter may be done with their project and work on homework or help someone.

Reminder all night stands are $75.00 and I want to have them paid for by the end of the year.


Advance P.E/ High School P.E- Real simple students need to participate and be active up to their ability if they want an "A". To many students stand during activities and do nothing and I won't give out an "A" for doing nothing!!


The picture below is a head board for  a bed that Brendon Hortemiller made this year. He also has a foot board to match. Look for other student projects in the weeks to follow.

Advance Shop- Seniors I want things finished before you leave on the 17th of May!!  I also want all the projects paid for if possible as well. Most of you do not want  come back either. Please make arrangements to get things home as well. Seniors you only have 4 weeks left or 20 days!! And the reality is that last week won't really be very productive !!.Parents please help me out too. Everyone else in advance shop seem to be in very good shape as far as getting projects done on time.

General Shop- I will review on Monday who owes what  money on their night stand yet! Students are really starting to get things done now and you should start to see projects coming home!!! Some students need to get hardware yet so we can finish.   There are some really nice projects as far as quality of structure and finish. Now it is time to just get everyone done!

Advance P.E/ High School P.E- Participation, Attitude, and being in Class On Time!!! If students do these three things they will get and "A". It also makes the class fun for everyone when everyone has a good attitude and participates. Do some exercises on three days and be active.

Advance Shop- This a great week for students to get some serious work done on their projects!! The classes will be smaller with seniors gone so there can be more one-on -one time.On Tuesday I will be going over bills and such with those students here now and finishing up with seniors when they get back. A reminder that seniors only have 4 weeks left when they return and I would like to get all their bills and projects done before they are done!

General Shop- From now until the end of the year the focus will be to get projects done! The usual, sanding ,staining, and spraying etc!! Some students need to still get hardware( knobs, handles and hinges!) so we can finish. Reminder that all nightstands are $75.00 and I would like to have that money before the end of the year!


High School/Advance P.E- Trying to make class fun and to get students to participate in some exercise and sport everyday! Most students do a great job and have fun.. Please look at your son/daughter's grade on-line and see how they are doing. Students always have the option to walk laps and sometimes lift rather than do the activity for the day.

Hope everyone had a safe and relaxing spring break.

Hard to believe seniors have only 4 weeks of school after this week! Next week is senior trip and that brings it down to the last 20 days !!!It has been a good year, but it seems like it has gone by really fast.


Advance Shop- Students especially seniors really need to realize that the end of the year is quickly approaching! Two concerns come to mind right away. #1. Getting projects done and finished on time so students don't need to come back after they are out of school. The hard part comes down to making and finishing a quality project, not one that is just thrown together in the last minute. #2. Once a project is done I need to get it home and paid for before the end of the year as well. If I can just get all students to work on task in class this won't be a problem.( Just a reminder,as well, once the project is built and stained it still needs to be sprayed 3 times). I often end up with a log jam trying to get everyone's  projects prayed.

General Shop- Students need to be getting hardware such as hinges, (2pair), and they need a combination of three (handles and / or knobs for their nightstand). Please get everything at one store so the colors match and it's easier to return if necessary! Most General Shop students are sanding and/or are building their drawer. . Some are staining, putting on hardware and are getting close to having their projects sprayed. I really want everyone's project to look nice!



Advance P.E/ High School P.E- Trying to get everyone active and participating! We will work on some cardiovascular and some strength training along with a activity! Monday, Wednesday and Friday's are physical activity days and the rest of the week is activity time. Having fun and being active..
