Today was the Q1 2025 Hungry Wolf Bistro Day at Marion High School. Students worked hard transforming the classroom into a fine dining space and preparing a delicious meal for staff who made reservations, complete with Italian or meatball sub sandwiches, potato salad, and scotcheroos! They even tried their hand at crafting charcuterie boards to practice their kitchen safety skills, and the results were fantastic and scrumptious. Congrats to the entire Bistro Team!
The GIC students went on 2 Career Discovery Tours this week. They visited IFP Motion Solutions and ESCO Group. A big thanks to Mr. Kettmann and Kirkwood's Workplace Learning Connection for setting up this great experience!

Fire safety is important, especially as we enter the colder months! 🚒
During Fire Prevention Week, we encourage families to stay prepared with these simple tips:
☑️ Designate a meeting place outside your home where everyone will gather
☑️ Teach children to crawl low under smoke
☑️ Make sure all exits and pathways are clear of clutter
☑️ Have fire extinguishers in key locations like the kitchen
☑️ Close bedroom doors at night to slow fire spread
