K-8 students participated in Bus Safety presentations this week. Bus driver, Bob Burgess is shown modeling safety procedure expectations for students while waiting for the bus and in the case of an emergency evacuation. We value our bus drivers for safely transporting our students each and every day. Please remind your students to continue following the expectations outlined in the bus safety event. #Proud2bCL



Instructors from SCC came and presented to the Accounting I class. (From L to R) Trish Hopper, Kevin Rosenberg, & Renee Smith, all from SCC's Business Department talked with students about pathways in Business at SCC and possible career options. They also shared the benefits of a junior college and the seamless transition to SCC from Central Lee. They left the class a huge nugget in something called the "Last-Dollar Scholarship". Students who enter a program in high-demand can actually go to college for free. Please contact SCC or Mr. Van Ausdall for more information.

Mr. Van Ausdall’s Accounting I class had the privilege of listening to guest speakers from the Accounting profession. Sally Boyer (shown on the right), CPA at Menke & Company in West Point, and Megan Dohman (shown on the left), CPA at Case New Holland Industries in Burlington gave a presentation on what Accounting really is and potential careers in the field. The two speakers emphasized that Accounting is much more than sitting behind a desk and crunching numbers. Rather, Accountants are the backbone to any successful business, they help keep finances in order, and their roles and responsibilities can vary from business to business. Megan even got to practice driving the largest Case Dozer that they manufacture at their facility. Thanks, ladies, for sharing a great presentation with our students!
