BUILDING TRADES STUDENTS RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS!
Congratulation to Logan Casto, Jesse Brenner, Ty Hickok, and Nate Hall! These four United students will receive four of the fifteen $500 scholarships awarded in Northeast Ohio by the Builders of Easter Ohio and Western Pennsylvania (builders association). Scholarship awards were granted to applicants who have demonstrated a strong preparation and a commitment to entering a career in the construction trades. Congratulations also to their Building Trades instructor, Mrs. Zeisler, for preparing and inspiring these students.
Zeke Cannon recently finished an octagon picnic table as part of his Building Trades 1 program completion. Students in this program were given a list of projects to choose from and he chose this challenging table. Once it was time to assemble, he had to move his project to our outside working area for final assembly, often having to work in the rain like a true construction worker! He never complained and did a great job on his table. Way to go Zeke!
A huge thanks goes out to Vern & Missy Snyder, who sponsored a row of books in our book vending machine in memory of their son, Zeb Snyder, a member of the graduating class of 2024.
Once again, if you are interested in sponsoring a row of books, please contact Denise Ward in the high school library at 330-223-2815.

Nate Hall has earned his graduation seal in Engineering through certifications in Autodesk AutoCAD, Inventor, and Fusion. As a result of his pre-engineering expertise, he was able to design a bolt and nut that perfectly fit together using Fusion and his new 3-D Printer. Nate created a 3-D model in Fusion Solid Works and exported that file to the slicer program, which then allowed him to print the 3-D model in exact dimensions in real life. This use of these programs allows engineers to make quick, precise models of what they are creating. It also allows for quick changes and modifications as needed or desired for prototyping. Pretty Cool!
Congratulations to Keira Bryan! She is now certified as a Microsoft Office Specialist - PowerPoint Associate Microsoft 365 Apps! This is her second Microsoft certification this year. This certification adds 3 more points toward her graduation seal. Way to go, Keira!!!

Congratulations to Piper Richey! She is now certified as a Microsoft Office Specialist - Word Expert Microsoft 365 Apps! This certification adds 3 more points toward her 12-point graduation seal. This is her THIRD Microsoft Office certification this year. Way to go Piper!!!
DUAL CREDIT BIOLOGY STUDENTS VISIT MOUNT UNION
Students in the CCP Biology class were invited by Mrs. Heather Mercer to the University of Mount Union to do a study on bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis. Mrs. Cooper's students first collected arthropods from soil samples they gathered at the nature trail at United. They took these arthropods to UMU to extract their DNA. Later this month Mrs. Mercer will bring laboratory equipment to United to finish the study where students will be able to observe the DNA samples. This is a great opportunity for our students. Thank you Mrs. Cooper & Mrs. Mercer!
