When we say Career Technical Education, people hear power tools. But CTE also means sewing machines, kitchen equipment, IT networking and more. In Shannon Gardner’s Fashion II class at West High, students are bringing their creations from the sketch pad to their closets. Building the workforce of tomorrow one stitch at a time. #FZEquipToExcel

Sandy Connors’ South Middle Family and Consumer Sciences (FaCS) class found inspiration in the creativity of Progress South Kindergarteners. The schools sit across the street from each other, making it easy to synergize. Kindergarten provided the illustrations after reading books about monsters and emotions. 8th grade provided the sewing skills to bring those illustrations to life. This hands-on project sparked meaningful connections across grade levels. It supported young students as they worked on communication skills and allowed older students to apply real-world skills in an authentic way. 8th-graders surprised Kindergarteners with a visit to present their creations to the imagin-eers. “Their excitement when the finished product is delivered is one of my favorite days of the year!” says Kindergarten teacher Charity McCollum.

Accidental twinning - one way to know you've connected with your student! #FZSD Here, YOU Belong 📸EAllen

Words and stories are machines. Just like nuts and bolts, parts of speech and storytelling techniques do specific jobs to keep us reading. JET students got a first-hand lesson in building a story from guest author Donna Marx, who talked with them about (Whoop!) the power of creating characters; (Oof!) the job of onomatopoeias; and (Zip!) techniques that bring a story together. Students enjoyed collaborating to bring Marx’s story to life. Building the workforce of tomorrow one story at a time. #FZEquipToExcel
Connecting with our community is a priority, which is why we have sent quarterly newsletters to thousands of mailboxes for many years. Unfortunately, printing and mailing are becoming cost prohibitive. We are searching for other services to provide our community with regular updates on our schools. We only have two paper editions scheduled for the future. Please encourage FZSD residents to subscribe for this quarterly electronic update. Click on this image at fz.k12.mo.us
