Cedar Bluffs Public Schools

This year's SkillsUSA Mid-America Conference offered a lot of great leadership training for our SkillsUSA officers. For 4 days, our students worked with others from 5 different states to understand what it takes to run an effective chapter. During the conference competition, we also received some great awards:

Gracie Thomas: 3rd place in Social Media Management
Caitlin Reade: 1st place in Community Service
Kaylee Quintero: 3rd Place in Opening & Closing Ceremony
Vanessa Marten: 1st Place in Opening & Closing Ceremony

A group of our juniors and seniors spent the day at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln for Red Letter Day! They were able to check out campus, have a meal at one of the cafeterias, talk with students and see what life as a Husker is all about.

It's always great to have our students explore new opportunities and take steps towards their future. #GoBigRed
