Students, teachers share Italy trip reflections at Big Spring board meeting
Summary
Students and teachers presented photos and reflections from a recent Italy trip, thanking the board for supporting the experience and highlighting cultural, culinary and agricultural learning. Board members praised the opportunity and accepted a small tiramisu offering from students.
Students and chaperones presented photos and short reflections about a recent school-sponsored trip to Italy during the Committee of the Whole at the Big Spring School District on Sept. 1.
"And my name is Lucas Sentai," student Lucas Sentai said as he introduced the group's short slideshow and told the board about touring Torino and visiting a medieval castle. Jordan Khan and other students described cooking classes, market visits and a visit to Nice on the French coast. Teacher Miss McIntyre and Becky Hormaki thanked the board for supporting the trip and for the sponsors who helped make it possible. Hormaki said the experience will enhance classroom work: "[It] was really powerful as a teacher, and I know that'll enhance what I offer students moving forward." (Becky Hormaki).
Board members praised the trip for giving students international exposure and practical learning in agricultural and technical settings. Chair (presiding) said the CTC and middle school FFA opportunities to travel abroad are "tremendous" and thanked the students and staff for sharing. After the presentation, students offered tiramisu to board members and attendees as a token of thanks.
The presentation was informational; no board action was taken. The district indicated the program was supported by community sponsors and administration, and teachers said they will incorporate insights from the trip into future lessons. The slides and photos shown at the meeting will be available for board members interested in touring the CTC facility in the future.
