FFA Regional Success  At the FFA Regional Conference, St. Louis did very well, winning 2 contests, placing 2nd in another, 3rd in three others, and 4th in another. All teams received gold awards. In FFA competitions, only the top 2 teams qualify for the state finals which will be held at MSU March 7-9 during the State FFA Convention. Winning the Extemporaneous public speaking contest was Zachary Stedman. Zach put together four minute speech on technology in agriculture and presented it after only 30 minutes of preparation. Winning the Demonstration contest were Lance Fowler and Breezy Allen as they demonstrated proper fitting and shearing of a market lamb. Placing 2nd and qualifying for the state finals in Prepared Public Speaking was Laura Kelly. Her speech is on social media in agriculture. Alternates to the state finals include Jessica Laethem in Public Speaking, Rachael Stedman in Greenhand Public Speaking, and Ashlie Clark in the Creed Speaking Contest. The Agricultural Issues team placed 4th and is the second alternate with Hannah LeDuke, Amanda Maxon, Leah Near, Brooke Tubbs, Candice Woodcock, Emily Heitsch, and Grant Bader. CK Kindergartners and Homebound Seniors  The kindergartners at Carrie Knause received a grant from the Youth Advisory Council of the Gratiot County Community Foundation to make Hot Cocoa Kits for homebound seniors. We spent an afternoon assembling approximately 200 kits (along with personalized greeting cards) and presented them to Craig Zeese from the Gratiot County Commission on Aging. We were able to make enough kits for every senior in Gratiot County that receives homebound meals. This was a great way for the students to show they care and to help those in need. We wanted to put a smile on the faces of those that received our gift and warm them up on a cold winter day! St Louis Technology Foundation's Big Event We cannot thank the community enough for the support we received for The Big Event 2012! We raised over $10,500 at the event and have more money and grants to add to our total profit! Two of the grants received will allow us to purchase two additional multimedia carts for each elementary school! Awesome! The St. Louis Sharks Technology Foundation exists solely for the purpose of raising money for the purchase of technology and other educational items for the St. Louis Public Schools. Our students need the benefit of additional technology to help them be successful in today’s global economy. Technology Foundation Website SLHS at Frankenmuth Snow Fest  Art Club students from St Louis High School participated in the annual Zehnder's Snowfest in Frankenmuth Jan 26 & 27. This was a fun filled event where students competed against many other Michigan schools sculpting their project. Our students sculpted McDonald's French Fries. This was great learning experience and a lot of fun! Check out our video - http://vimeo.com/35909269. |
