I was really sad the week was over because it was the best experience I’ve had all year.
Comments from students & staff...
It only takes seven seconds to make a first impression. Present yourself in a positive way and make those seven seconds count.
So you better bring your A game, or even better, your FBLA game.
Never doubt your abilities because then people won’t hire you if you aren’t confident in yourself.
Attending art class was nice. I got away from the computers. I didn’t want to miss school because I wanted to finish the project I started. I learned to be responsible.
It allowed me the opportunity to see college campuses that I would never have been able to visit without this trip.
Thank you. This class is my stress reliever that I look forward to throughout the day. It has helped me find a new hobby.
I learned a lot about schools I thought I would like but actually did not like, and it opened my eyes to some of the things I haven’t previously thought about.
I was impressed that the teachers spent the day with the kids, went on rides with, ate lunch, and enjoyed their company during travel time.
This is the best day I have had in years!
My favorite part of the visits is the origins of the songs, stories, and especially people. Lisa was a great teacher and a fun-loving person to learn from.
I really liked how if someone needed help, someone was there to help. I also really liked how it all came together. I hope we are able to do this again next year.
Thank you for making this festival possible. I was super excited for the choir concert the last few days. I am glad you made this happen.
What I like most about choir is that we get to do fun stuff like go the the La Grande festival and sing funny songs like “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” or “Sally Sells Sea Shells.
Thank you very much for letting us see beautiful art work from people I didn’t even know existed. I got to learn different ways of creating art because of you guys.
Thank you for letting us go and visit the Art Center. My favorite project that we did was when we used oil pastels to draw the river. It was really nice of you to let us go and see the different displays and learn different techniques to make our art special to ourselves.
Thank you for letting us learn about art in a very interesting way. I really enjoyed the different pieces in the galleries and the staff at the Art Center was very good at teaching us about them and the artists behind them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the ability to apply the things we learned in class to the real world. Thank you so much!
This bio trip is such a positive experience for everyone to go on. I’ve seen things I’ve never seen before, and made so many memories. I learned a lot about marine biology and had fun while doing it. I sure hope this trip continues for those after me, because it’s well worth it. Thank you so much.
The play was pretty hilarious! It was a little tough to understand at first because of the language, but it was fun to track. The follow-up lessons were meaningful, especially for students in my class who already knew what it was like to be bullied or outcast.
The play was funny! It was the first time I had seen a Shakespeare play. In the classroom afterward, it was the first time I had ever played a party in a skit and I liked that a lot.
You may think you have it all planned out, but open your mind to new ideas. Don’t just base your decision on the first thing you see. When you feel a connection, you’re destined to make the right decision.
The college tours opened my eyes to many programs and opportunities that I had not previously known about.
