Wednesday, May 14th, was a day of community service for the students of the Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center’s IST (Information Systems Technology) and ECE (Early Childhood Education) programs. Upon arrival at the Humane Society of Adams County’s animal shelter, the HSAC staff provided each of the 22 students with a donut and task list . The students were so eager to help that the original goal of cleaning out the garage was soon expanded. Students helped shelve dog and cat food, swept, gathered trash, organized other items in the garage, painted the cat quarantine room, cleaned/power washed cages, reorganized the cat room, and walked the dogs. The volunteers took a break for lunch, which was very generously provided by Giovanni’s Pizzeria of West Union. The owner and staff at Giovanni’s went above and beyond to make sure all of the students had enough to eat and drink! The day was a huge success and both the ECE and IST programs are grateful for the opportunity to help an organization that helps so many.

Although the academic year is coming to an end, students from our OVCTC Early Childhood Education program are still busy helping students at West Union Elementary. Juniors Hailey Cole and Tori Whitley are shown working with students one on one and in small groups on foundational skills mastered in kindergarten. These opportunities are beneficial for both kindergarten students and our Early Childhood Education students.
The OVCTC is grateful to Rick Carn from Huntley's Napa in West Union for joining the Ag Mech juniors for NAPA Prolink training. This online program allows our students to view parts, research, and build quotes. Thank you for investing in our students!
Last week, the OVCTC Ag Business seniors were very busy brushing up on their animal science skills. The students in the junior class selected the bulls to be used to breed the 5 cows and the 2 heifers on the school farm. Seniors synchronized their female bovines using CIDRs and then conducted a timed AI session today with former Ag Business graduate, David Semple. Nearly all of the students were able to learn this for the first time. Special thanks to both David and another former Ag Business alumni and parent, Jeremy Simpson, for their donations of time and supplies to help our students get a real life experience! It’s great to have wonderful people in our community who provide us with kind of support. Crossing our fingers for some baby calves in January of 2022!
The Ohio Valley CTC Culinary arts program gave their time for community service to Saint Vincent De Paul. The students helped carry and arrange food for the church and organized the pick up location. Saint Vincent De Paul has been very generous to our students in the past. Our students wanted to give back to them.
