Mrs. Cutts' Corner |
There are two very exciting field trips planned this spring.
April 30, we will go on an Ag Adventure at University of California at Davis. This trip is free and will focus on the vast careers in the leading industry of California agriculture. I need some risk takers who are willing to explore the various career options in business, marketing, technology, medicine, bio-tech, research and agricultural production. Students will be amazed to learn that a career in agriculture doesn’t necessarily mean farming. This trip is open to all grades, but students must be serious, open minded students.
May 15 is the College Survivor Trip to CSU Stansilaus for high achieving freshmen and sophomores. This trip is free and will focus on the TV show Survivor style activities that help students understand the value of going to college. If you are interested in learning more about a four year college visit the Career Center to pick up a permission slip. Open to the first 20 freshmen and the first 20 sophomores who turn in their permission slips.
