Day 1️⃣ of What's on the Menu? summer camp is in the books! It was a great start to the camp where students will learn essential cookies techniques, food safety, connections to agriculture, and so much more. We see you, chefs! 🧑🍳👩🍳 #mcesabettertogether #careerandtechnicaleducation
The grounds at the Sugnet building are getting a mini glow up! 🌼 Last week, some of the MCESA crew teamed up to create a space to plant flowers, and we were joined this week by the United Way team and volunteers for Days of Action. Volunteers were here this afternoon to help spruce up the grounds.
Days of Action brings together a number of volunteers across Midland County to support United Way's nonprofit partners and runs through Thursday, June 19.

It's summer camp kickoff day! Our career and technical education team is excited to welcome students for their first camp of the season – "What's on the Menu?" This farm-to-table culinary experience takes place in partnership with the Coleman Regional Agriscience Center.
Have you heard about the Arnold Center's WeCycle Outlet? Teachers are invited to visit the outlet and fill a box of school supplies of their choosing – free of charge!
This initiative, which is made possible through partnerships with Dow and other local employers, helps reroute quality materials from landfills and place them in the hands of educators who need them the most.
Full details on how to access the program are included in the flyer.

Job site partners provide students with real-world work experiences that help them develop essential skills that may be difficult to cultivate in a traditional classroom setting.
Students truly become a part of the team with their job site, and we are thankful for these partnerships! #mcesabettertogether
