The SWWC Weekly

On Tuesday, March 19th from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. is our #GetHired event for all SWWC students.

• Students will attend this event at Saline High School with their SWWC class.
• They should come prepared to network with local businesses. This is a great opportunity to share resumes and seek potential employment or simply learn more about different industries.

Looking ahead...

The SWWC offices and all programs will be closed for Spring Break beginning March 23rd.

• Classes will resume on Monday, April 1st.
• Cosmetology is open to earn additional hours. See Ms. Sines for more information.

Members of Saline's DECA (nationally recognized business organization) Chapter competed at the State Conference in downtown Detroit last week. They kicked off the trip with a meet and greet with CEO of Little Caesars Enterprise, David Scrivano, and then a tour of Little Caesars Arena. Members then joined over 4000 students from across the state to compete in a variety of events.

Congratulations to Drew Miller and Sarah Yousif who qualified to attend the International Development Conference in Anaheim, California in late April. Earning Finalist recognition are: Jacob Piniatoglou, Reed Muir, Noah Lepore, and the teams of Erin Huetteman/Laura Swanger, Ava Stripp (missing from photo)/Bettina Soares, and Addison Ashley (missing from photo)/Maria Miloser/Kate Sonnenday. Nice work to all of the competitors!

The EDGE, which is Marketing's School Based Enterprise (SBE), earned Gold Certification again this year. Grace Warren and Drew Miller provided a comprehensive written summary that demonstrated the knowledge and skills needed to manage an entrepreneurial operation in a school setting that provides goods/ services to meet the needs of the market. SBE's are managed and operated by students as hands-on learning laboratories that integrate National Curriculum Standards in Marketing, Finance, Hospitality or Management. SBE's provide realistic and practical learning experiences that reinforce classroom instruction. Both Grace and Drew will compete at the International Conference as well!

The Culinary Arts class began their study of Global Cuisine in Italy. The students presented a traditional 9 course Italian meal. The goal was to show students that Italian food is so much more diverse than spaghetti and pizza!
