Students showcase drones, cosmetology and construction projects; Rotary funds student 'She Shed' project
Summary
Winter Lakes High School students presented CTE projects including drone demonstrations, a cosmetology fashion show supported by a large donation of supplies, and blueprints for a 'She Shed' that the Rotary Club agreed to fund with $5,300. District program updates also covered Growing Together gardens, Title VI services and sports radio broadcasting.
Winter Lakes High School students and teachers presented career-technical education projects at the Coquille School District Board meeting.
Drones teacher Bruce Rasmussen demonstrated student pilot Addy Reyes flying an indoor Tela drone and discussed other equipment used in class (Mini 4 and Maverick Pro). Mr. Rasmussen noted student work is available in a district video titled "The Wonderful Wolves of Coquille." Cosmetology teacher Brenda Goble and her students staged a fashion show of hairstyles and manicures; Goble distributed small nail-supply gifts from a large donation to support the program.
Construction teacher Trey Pruitt presented student blueprints for a 'She Shed' project. The Rotary Club committed $5,300 to fund the immediate project; the meeting minutes say the longer-term end goal is for students to build tiny homes.
District program updates included a presentation from Dr. Shimotakahara on the volunteer "Growing Together" garden project, which will place 63 garden boxes at Lincoln School of Early Learning on May 11, 2024, with Coquille serving as the research school and Reedsport as the control. Lee Taft reported the district broadcast 75 athletic events this season. Tanya Sinko summarized Title VI (Indian Education) services, listed participating tribes and noted the district received an additional $8,000 for the program.
These presentations were part of the board's regular business updates; no formal board action was recorded on the student projects or program reports other than acknowledgment and thanks.
