The Ohio Valley CTC Culinary Arts program has been very busy serving guests and preping for opening day.
Students have been working on menus, planning for event table setups as well as baking meringues cream pies & prepping baked steak. Students work on presentation
and organization as well as time management in the culinary arts lab, all the while maintaining social distancing and healthy COVID standards.
The students in Ms. Sowards’ English class created fantastic 3-D models of the Globe Theater in preparation for the unit on Shakespearean plays!
Today was an exciting day for Juniors in our Early Childhood Education program. They began their placement in an elementary classroom at West Union elementary. While there they work with teachers and students learning classroom management, teaching strategies and communication skills that will prepare them for a career in early childhood education. Junior Samantha Haddox is shown working with a student in Mrs. McIntosh's second grade classroom while continuing social distancing. A special thanks to Mr. King and the staff at the West Union elementary for opening their classrooms to us.
Thank you to the Adams County community for supporting the annual Jr. Fair Beef BBQ! We are so grateful for the efforts of many volunteers which made this event a success!!! Many thanks to the OVCTC Culinary Arts, Ag Business and Ag Mechanics programs for their tireless efforts in making the Beef BBQ happen. Deepest thanks for Mrs. Foster, Mr. Rhonemus, Mr. White & Mr. Phipps for their amazing dedication to the event!
The barbecuing has begun! Hope to see you tomorrow to support the Junior Fair Beef BBQ!!!
The OVCTC Culinary Arts students have been very busy. They started the year with learning to prep food safely, identifying equipment and it’s uses. They are now preparing coleslaw, and baked beans for the Junior Fair Beef BBQ . Most of the seniors are already on early placement and have jobs.
The culinary field is very people oriented and can lead to a career with several options other than just fast food - careers like management for grocery chains, head chefs in hotels & restaurants, pastry chefs and working with health / nutrition careers. We try to explore several options of the foodservice industry because we are essential workers.
The OVCTC Ag Business & Ag Mechanics students have been busy splitting wood and digging the Beef BBQ Pit for 2020! Thank you to the county highway department for all of their help in making the BBQ a success year after year!
The Adams County Ohio Valley School Board will meet in regular session this evening at 5pm. You may watch it live on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_yFl5VdTGE
The OVCTC Automotive Technology Seniors received factory training on the new Hunter Engineering tire changer and Road Force Tire balancer. Thank you to Greg Linfert of Hunter Engineering Sales and Service for working with our students!
Mr. Palmer’s Automotive Technology Juniors got some hands on experience stripping a vehicle for recycling. Every bolt and nut is collected for use during the year on other projects and yes, the students were complying with CDC COVID 19 stay safe rules. This is a good group of future ASE auto technicians!
The students in Ms. Johnson’s class dealt with beakers & measurements in their Chemistry lab this week.
If you need immunizations for your student, please mark this date on your calendar!
Juniors in our Early Childhood Education program began the day listening to a book "I Like Myself" and then created an All About Me craft. These activities can be used in preschool and early childhood classrooms to help the transition of students from home to school. Our ECE juniors are safely beginning their studies in early childhood education and enjoying the in person learning.
Congratulations to OVCTC Ag Mechanics Senior, Jacob Caudill, on a great win at the Brushcreek Motorsports Complex!
