We're cruising into winter break with our last CATEC newsletter of 2024! Check it out to see what a great month we've had. https://secure.smore.com/n/yvksq
It's Photo Friday on a Saturday! We wrapped up 1st semester with cheer and our last 2024 tours! Thanks for making our winter spirit week, candy cane grams, gingerbread village, and Friday fun day! Have a great winter break and we will see everyone on 1/7/25!
A major theme for our winter spirit week is "It Takes a Village." Each of our programs designed and created a gingerbread house that reflects their class and CATEC. The results were amazing! Our students are so creative in coming up with their designs and the way they worked together to create their visions was incredible to watch. Congrats to all our programs for their creations!
Our 2nd December Profile of a CATEC Student is Cos 1, Albemarle High School student Kailynn Smith! She knows she wants to be a hair stylist and working with her instructor, Ms. Brown, her confidence grows everyday. Congrats! @k12albmarle @albemarlecountypublicschools

Our first December Profile of a CATEC Student features Western Albemarle post-grad Thea Spitzner! Thea loves biology and has a great interest in cooking.

Our @catecfire @catec_firefighters and EMT students participated in their first live burn at the year at the Albemarle Regional Training Center. Fire students got hands on training with fire behavior and using their gear. EMT students practiced taking vital signs.
Get your CATEC spirit fired up for our Winter Spirit Week running December 16th-20th. Each day, represent your program with a fun winter-themed dress up day. We end our week with a Fun Day for all students.
Photo Friday! Our students stayed focused learning new skills and familiarizing themselves with new equipment as the 1st semester wraps up. But they incorporated time to work on their program gingerbread houses for our upcoming spirit week. Can't wait to share their creations!
