βΏ Adaptive & Inclusive Technology Grant: $19,892

π Big congratulations to Cloey Fletcher, Logan Green, and Andiana Ziegler for earning 1st place at the state level in the American Spirit Competition and representing our school at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, this past June 23β27!β¨
Their outstanding project showcased our chapterβs dedication to citizenship, community service, and patriotism. Mr. Johannes attended the event with the students and shared that this trip was full of exciting firsts:
βοΈ Cloey flew on an airplane for the first time
π₯’ Andiana used chopsticks for the first time
π All three students experienced Atlantaβs heat and humidityβand quickly learned theyβre not fans!
What an incredible journey and experience! We are so proud of these students for making it to the national stage and representing us so well. πππ
