Thank you to MFRC Director Sara Huddleston for speaking to our career academy welding students this morning. Sara had the students' attention by bringing real-world advice on how to have a positive first impression and how to have a successful job interview.
Sara shared the need for welders in Greene County and how there are so many opportunities for these students after high school or after they get further training and want to move back. Sara encouraged them to discover their passion and to pursue it.

Reuter's Red Power of Grand Junction assisted the Greene County Ag. Ed. and FFA Organization in harvesting soybeans on Wednesday, October 22nd. A huge thank you in providing the combine and hauling of grain. Mr. Connor Sackett spent time discussing how a combine operates, discussed harvesting loss and allowed students to ride and operate the combine. Greene County High School values the partnership they have provided to the Ag. Ed. Department. Thank you for a wonderful learning experience.

Greene County Elementary is excited to announce the installation of a brand-new book vending machine for its students.
This innovative literacy tool was made possible through a generous partnership between the Kiwanis Club and the Greene County Community Foundation. The machine is stocked with a variety of books, allowing students to select titles they are interested in.
Throughout the year, students will be given a special token that can be used at the machine for a book of their choice, which they get to keep. This program is designed to foster excitement around reading and to encourage students to build their own home libraries.
Thanks so much to Kiwanis and the Greene County Community Foundation for helping make this happen!

Thank you to Chef Michael Hirst for joining us today to meet our culinary students. Chef Michael is the head chef for the culinary program at Iowa Central. He talked about the many careers possible through a culinary degree.
Students got to sample beef marrow and learned it is really good on a piece of bread served with pickles or relish. They prepared beef stock and while that was on the stove, they made French omelettes.
It was especially fun because our Chef D (Denise Moranville) is one of Chef Michael's students.

Chef D and the Iowa Central Career Academy culinary students outdid themselves today by preparing a seasoned pork loin roast that was stuffed with spinach, cream cheese, ham, and muenster cheese. They covered it with a homemade cream sauce made with fresh garlic, seasonings, dijon mustard, chicken broth and these three types of cheese: gouda, muenster, and parmesan. It was perfect!
Thank you to American Athletic/Spalding and Power Lift for giving tours to our students on Friday, October 3rd, for the 2025 Manufacturing Day!

Mr. Martin's Home Maintenance class is working on repairing holes in drywall. Home Maintenance focuses on the information that is helpful for students as they look forward to moving into a home for the first time. This class is great for any student who plans on owning a home in the future and doesn't want to pay for everything to be done for them.
