Holly Lemke recently welcomed back a former student to her Small Animal Science class at the LoGuidice Educational Center! 👋🐕✂️
Madison Pagan, who graduated from the #CTE program in 2022, is currently employed at PetSmart. During her return visit to LoGuidice, Madison helped groom Dallas, a Bernese Mountain Dog owned by Teaching Assistant Jaclyne Crowell.
“I love having graduates come back and share their success stories with current students,” Lemke said of Pagan, who attended Dunkirk City School District. “Her experience in the grooming field is beneficial for my current students because they are learning the basics in class, and Madison was able to demonstrate the correct clipping techniques and her methods used daily.”
Thanks for stopping by, Madison!

Juniors and seniors enrolled in Culinary Arts at the Ormsby Educational Center recently tested their skills with an MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) challenge! 👩🍳🍴👨🍳
Working in pairs, the #CTE students took traditional food rations used by U.S. Armed Forces and transformed them into three-course meals. They were scored on preparation, meal appearance, taste/texture, and safety/sanitation.
Sgt. Jakubczak and Sgt. Diaz of the Army National Guard provided the MREs and judged submissions from the Culinary Arts students. Instructor Gregory Babcock and teaching assistant Andrew Suffoletto also helped.
Great work, everyone! 👏🎖️👍
