OWLS Try-A-Trade

Last week, Mrs. Cole took 12 of our CTE students to the 3rd annual Construction Try-A-Trade at Satsop Business Park, hosted by the Capital STEM Alliance and Career Connect Washington.

Our students put on hard hats and safety vests, got behind the controls of heavy equipment, and talked face-to-face with professionals from 18 trade unions, including Electricians, Ironworkers, Operating Engineers, Plumbers and Pipe Fitters, Sheet Metal Workers, and more.

Days like this help students see a future they can work toward, right here in our region.

Congratulations to the OWLS who attended:
Tyler Baslington, Olivia Blackman, Bella Buck, Colton Gage-Brix, Harley Garcia, Cash King, Ryder Lake, Destiny LaRance, Micah Palmer, Joe Seymour, Dayton Triggs, and Nicholas Wulf.

Thank you to Mrs. Cole for creating this opportunity, and to the Capital STEM Alliance, Career Connect Washington, and every trade partner who invested in our students.

We are excited to launch a new tradition at Mary M. Knight: our MMK Senior Spotlight!

Throughout the school year, we will feature one of our senior OWLS each month, giving our community the opportunity to learn more about the students who make MMK such a special place.

Our first Senior Spotlight features Bella Buck, Class of 2027, sharing about her volleyball experience, what motivates her as a senior, the importance of supporting her teammates, and the advice she would give to younger athletes.

This project is also an exciting part of the work being done through our Yearbook and Journalism class with Ms. Cole. Students are helping conduct the interviews, develop the stories, and celebrate the experiences of their fellow OWLS. A special thank you to Layla Thomas and Toni Koonrad for conducting Bella’s interview.

We look forward to sharing more of our seniors’ stories throughout the year and celebrating the people, experiences, and memories that make up the Class of 2027.

Congratulations, Bella, on being featured in our first MMK Senior Spotlight!
