Mrs. Griffin's Senior English class worked on a careers unit over the past six weeks. Within this unit, students learned about and created their own resumes and cover letters. A human resources professional, Blake Wilkerson, came to speak to the class earlier in the unit regarding resumes, cover letters, and interview etiquette. To conclude the unit, students participated in mock interviews where they were interviewed by employers. We had the pleasure of hosting multiple organizations, that provided constructive feedback to students as they begin to look to life outside of high school. We would like to thank Elite Octane, Menards, the Museum of Danish America, the Danish Windmill, AMVC, Rasmussen Law, Wayne Hansen Real Estate, Camblin Mechanical, Elk Horn Public Pool, and Des Moines Fire Department for providing students with this valuable experience.

Spartan Shout Out!
A dazzling display of technical skill and talent was on display during the 31st Annual #DMACC High School Hands-On Automotive Skills Contest on Dec. 16 at the Karl Chevrolet Automotive Technology Center on the DMACC Ankeny Campus! Congratulations to the winning team from the DMACC Carroll Career Academy and to all of the outstanding competitors.
The final team results were:
1. DMACC Carroll Career Academy
2. Mt Pleasant Community High School
3. DMACC Ames Hunziker Center Career Academy
4. Fort Madison Community School District
5. #DMACC Ankeny Career Academy
6. Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Career Academy
7. DMACC Southridge Center Career Academy
8. Algona Community School District (unable to travel to compete due to winter weather)
Here's how the contest worked: Earlier this fall, approximately 280 high students representing 14 different schools from across Iowa took the 100-question written portion of the Skills Contest, and the top-eight scoring teams qualified to move on in the competition. Two students from each of those teams were then selected to represent their team during the hands-on portion of the contest on Dec. 16.
During the hands-on portion, students competed in 15-minute, hands-on challenges in eight different areas: Engine performance, engine repair, electricity/electronics, brakes, steering and suspension, automatic transmission, manual drivetrain and HVAC.
The two competitors from each of the top-four finishing teams earned DMACC scholarships, and competitors from each finishing team received automotive prize packages featuring tools and equipment donated by sponsors. Special thanks to the Iowa Automobile Dealers Association (IADA), NAPA Iowa, O'Reilly Auto Parts, #AutoZone, Arnold Motor Supply, Lowe's Home Improvement, Snap-on Tools, Mac Tools, Johnston Autostores and Harbor Freight for their support. Be sure to scroll through the below photos to learn more!
Our HS Junior TAG students (Emily Bricker, Hannah Nelson and Hailie Snider) wanted their service project to help our new Kids in the Village Daycare. They sold over 800 Christmas Santa Bags to the entire school and staff. Plus the entire HS TAG students, Spartan Youth Leadership Club students and some Leo Club students help color the bags, fill the bags and deliver all of them to the entire school. We appreciate that the Spartan Booster Club made sure all students and staff received a Santa Bag. The girls gave the Kids in the Village a check for $1080 which they will purchase for new indoor play equipment. "Big thank you to these three young ladies who created this service project, all help from the HS TAG students, few Leo students and Spartan Youth Leadership Club and to our awesome Spartan Booster Club! We know our Village kids will have fun on their new indoor play equipment!" expressed Lisa Dreier.
