The OVCTC Early Childhood Education program "Junior Educators" had a great time hanging out with superheroes today. They painted, read books and colored pictures. This program is such a great way to develop foundational leadership skills for our 6th graders and our Juniors and Seniors from the ECE program.

The OVCTC Arizona Judging team had a good performance at the Arizona Nationals in Phoenix. We were not the high team of the day, but we do know that over 320 contestants and 100 teams across the nation competed in the livestock judging event and that we were in the upper percentile. Each student put up good scores in both evaluating and talking oral reasons. Team members evaluated high quality livestock and enjoyed hiking and seeing the sights around or near Phoenix. Many of the students saw the Grand Canyon for the very first time, and the entire trip was one for the record books. Each student will have memories to last a lifetime! A special thank you to each and every individual and business who helped make this possible!
