On Friday, the Welding class had one of GAC's alumni come in to talk to the students about his welding career and his education path outside of high school. Tyler spent two hours showing the students different techniques and answering their questions. Thank Tyler for taking time to give back.

Kinder-1st-pre-K say bring on the Spring!

Congratulations to Sarah Bruders for being voted in as "Artist of the Month" for February! She has a lovely colored pencil drawing featuring a character she designed. She was able to celebrate with a lunch at the Chippewa Club in Iron Mountain with the other schools in the ASA organization. Stephan Wysocki was the local artist for this month's lunch and he went over how to do a portrait with tips and tricks. Each student posed and he did small oil paintings of each of the students within a time limit. Congratulations again!

We would like to thank the Goodman-Armstrong Creek Lions Club for donating sleds to the elementary school! We haven't had much snow this year (yet!) but the students are very thankful and excited to use them.

After yesterday's competition the student had a tour of the Metals and Auto lab at Nicolet. During the tour we bumped into a familiar face, one of GAC'S alumni. Erik led the students on a tour of the facilities and answered the students questions. Great to see Erik and see his accomplishments.

Welding students from GAC competed in the preliminary competition at Nicolet College yesterday. Despite being nervous they all stepped up and performed very well. The judges complemented them to me not only how good they welded but how polite they were. 2 welders will be chosen to move on to the next level and compete against other schools March 1st. Great job welders and good luck.

Valentines for Vets!

This fall I wrote then recieved a grant for the purchase of two hydroponic growers for the homestead class. The students have raised lettuce that was used for the school lunch program for the first time today. They are in the process of raising fresh vegetables to provide the school with a steady supply of locally grown food for the lunch program. Great job homesteaders!
