Garden shed and CTE programs showcased at Dayton SD 8 board meeting
Summary
Two students and Curriculum Director Robin VanBuren described hands-on learning in the Garden Shed and a range of CTE programs (Greenhouse ASB, Culinary/Hospitality, Precision AG, Pirate Print Shop, FFA, ETC) whose accounts support travel, competitions and supplies.
Robin VanBuren brought two students to the board to describe what the Garden Shed and agriculture program have taught them and to highlight hands-on, career-oriented learning opportunities.
VanBuren said program accounts for Greenhouse ASB, Culinary/Hospitality, Precision AG, Pirate Print Shop, FFA and ETC are tracked separately and fund travel and competition costs, equipment and supplies, hands-on projects, student leadership and community events. She framed these programs as part of a broader set of experiential learning options that supplement core academics.
Board members expressed appreciation for the programs and for student participation in the presentation. No formal action was taken on curriculum items at the meeting.
