The FCCLA had a fabulous Career and College Day this week. Their day started with visiting Tantara Farms in Springfield and learning about the business, the different olives, olive oils, vinegars, coffees, and teas. They also got to do some sampling. Thank you Delvayna for educating us and showing us around. We then headed to College of the Ozarks, where our first stop was the Keeter Center, where we got to see what the students make at the college, visit with the college students working there, and go through the museum. Our second adventure at College of the Ozarks was a campus tour by a student who worked in the Admissions Department. She educated us on life on campus, the jobs at the college, the degrees, and most importantly how students can attend for 4 years and can graduate debt free! We ended the day at the Branson Track for some fun before we headed home. Thank you to all the Koshkonong Community who supported the FCCLA this 2024-25 school year.
Thank you Horn Plumbing, Mo Cat Cow Veterinarian Clinic, and West Plains Bank and Trust Company for your donations to help get our Beta to nationals in Orlando!! We appreciate you!!
