FBLA took 20 students to compete at the state level for SLC over the last few days! We gave speeches, broadcasted a news story, showed off an electronic career portfolio, and interviewed for a job on top of taking multiple business/technology tests. Students all attended two seminars that interested them as well as listened to a keynote speaker who talked about taking action if you want to succeed. We are so proud of all of their efforts! What a great group of students we have!

🩺5th grade performed text feature surgery today! Each group was given a patient with five procedures to complete. These doctors had to find text features from the weekly text & transplant them to their patient, as well as explain their importance! All surgeries were successful!

🔌⚡ **Fifth Grade Field Trip Fun & Electrical Safety!** ⚡🔌 Our fifth graders had an electrifying experience on their field trip, thanks to **Matt Sudbeck and Dusty Neuhalfen** from **Cedar Knox Public Power District**! 🙌 These amazing presenters hosted a powerful safety demonstration that left our students both informed and inspired. Here’s what our students had to say: 💬 *"If you get stuck under a power line, if it's safe, stay in the car. If it's not safe, jump out without touching the car—you could become the best path to ground!"* – **Harper Johnson** 💬 *"If a power line falls on your car, don’t get out unless there’s a fire. If there is, take a big jump out and then shuffle away."* – **Kora Rohrer** 💬 *"Don’t lean ladders or anything against power lines. If you see something on a power line, call 911 so they can contact Cedar Knox Power to fix it."* – **Lola Clausen** 💬 *"I learned that 120 volts is enough to kill you—and it takes a lot of work and strength to be a lineman!"* – **Camdyn Vanness** 💬 *"Electricity is always trying to find a place to ground."* – **Brooks Seagren** Thank you again to Cedar Knox Public Power for helping our students stay safe and sparking an interest in electrical safety and careers in public power! ⚡🛠️🚧 #FieldTripFun #ElectricalSafety #CedarKnoxPower #ThankYou #FutureLineman
