Winters ISD was able to send 47 juniors and seniors to the WOW (World of Work) Conference in Abilene for a day of college, career, and military readiness exploration. Students enjoyed a motivational keynote speaker, over 100 exhibits, and the opportunity to hone their skills in mock interviews.
In addition, Winters was one of eight schools invited to showcase one of their Career & Technology Education (CTE) programs in the exhibit hall. Technology teacher Melissa Gerhart’s Career Prep students talked about, and displayed, student work made on equipment featured in her lab and classroom.
Over 2,500 students from 55 schools in the Big Country attended the event. “I don’t think there was a corner turned or an exhibit visited, that an adult didn’t complement our students. The way they dressed, the way they presented themselves, to their confident and courteous behavior—WISD sponsors and students were stopped and praised for their efforts,” said Deb Pritchard, WHS teacher. “Our students were a class act, and the Big Country noticed. It was a GREAT day to be a Blizzard!”
Winters 4-H will meet tomorrow at 7:00 pm FBC Jones Hall. There is still time to enroll for the year. We’d love to have you join our club!
