"I chose welding because it is a useful skill to have and to further my career in having my own welding shop. This class has given me a hands-on approach on what becoming a welder is like. Some things I like about the class is the ability to work with your hands and the class shows you how to improve from your mistakes."---Welding II, Colton Vanderstappen

AHHS Students: Join Us for our Next Hackmatack Community Volunteer/Community Service opportunity!
WHEN: Sunday February 12th, 9 a.m. - Noon
WHERE: 9613 N. Route 12, Richmond IL
DETAILS: Wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty, and your own drinking water. We'll provide work gloves, safety glasses and a snack.
PARKING: Please note that there is no on-site parking. It is available directly across from the Blackmon site on the east side of Route 12 - see yellow area on the attached map. Park in the Richmond Village Hall lot, 5601 Hunter Dr., or if that is full at First National Bank of McHenry-Richmond Office, 9705 Prairie Ridge Rd. Then walk across Highway 12, as the site’s entrance is located on the west side of Route 12, just west of the McHenry County Conservation District’s Prairie Trail. Take care crossing busy Route 12. The entrance will be marked with a 'Hackmatack Workday' sign.
STUDENTS: If you are under the age of 18, you will need to bring the waiver form signed by a parent or guardian (this was sent to school email or located in HS office). This is a different waiver form than the one we have used at other, non-refuge sites, and it is a bit complicated, but as long as we get the signature of a parent or guardian you will be fine.
CONTACT: Pete Jackson at 224-612-1803 on the day of the workday if you have a question.

February is CTE Month and we would like to highlight some of our students in Career Technical Education!
"I am taking a Certified Nursing Assistants class (or CNA for short), because I want to learn more about nursing and what it's like being a nurse. I am learning how to take care of people and some of the rules that come with the job. I am learning so much and I am loving it! We get to go into lab every Thursday and get to practice what we have learned that week, whether it be learning how to make a bed, or how to care for someone who can't get out of bed. We are given situations, and expected to know what we are doing, which helps us prepare for what we could expect if we get a job as a nurse."---CNA, Certified Nursing Assistant, Hannah Reiter
