Students got some sweet treats today for Valentines Day breakfast! Smores parfait for the middle school and chocolate covered strawberry lattes for the high school. 💘



Not only do we have incredible Career Tech Education students at Pine River, but Mr. Eichelberger's Woodworking class is making amazing creations. Here are two students showing off their talent to me today when I popped into their class. One is making a beautiful headboard and one has an amazing start on a guitar. Very cool! Great work students and Mr. Eichelberger!

February is National CTE (Career Tech Education) Month. At Pine River Area Schools, we have 111 student who attend the Career Tech Center in Cadillac every school day. Students receive education and earn certifications in a variety of programs including: welding, auto mechanics, agriculture, health science, construction, business management, computers, culinary & hospitality, media production, computers, teaching, heavy equipment, manufacturing, public safety and more. I was so impressed when I visited the Career Tech Center last fall to see our students in action. These programs are such an amazing opportunity for our students! Great job students and WMISD!
