Jack Strodtman put together some awesome hanging baskets! He’s been taking great care of the plants. He’s really good at pinching them back to help them grow more full and get those big, beautiful blooms!
We're excited to keep showing off what everyone’s made! Each student put together 6 different hanging baskets, and
they’re all labeled so you can check out their individual style.

Her hand-crafted pots are stunning!
When asked about her favorite part of the Greenhouse Management class, Maranda shared:
“One of my favorite parts of greenhouse management class has been designing plant arrangements. I love getting creative and putting together pieces that customers will enjoy. It’s also been really rewarding to watch everything grow and come to life over the past few weeks! 🌿🌼🌱🌸”

Charlie Hafner, a student in our Work-Based Learning class, has been at his placement at PowerUp Electric! From installing, repairing, and maintaining electrical systems to helping out in the shop, Charlie is learning what it takes to run a successful electrical business.
In this photo, Charlie was hard at work installing a ladder rack on the company van—just one of the many ways he’s contributing and building real-world skills. 💪
A huge thank you to PowerUp Electric for providing this valuable opportunity and supporting our students' growth and future careers!
